    I just installed the april OF update for my pegasos2.
    The program worked correctly and now it says SF 1.1
    The problem is my morphos doesn't boot anymore.
    anything i try to boot i gets a long delay (30 seconds) it writes several R
    RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRARP send failed. Check ethernet cable and tranceiver. error: network timeout

    HELP !!!! I checked my cable and router and there is nothing wrong. it does the same even if i unplug the cable.
    Any help is appreciated.

    AFAIK that firmware update automatically switches the firmware to boot from the network.

    To fix it, you need to reset some of the variables in the firmware.

    I just redid the steps found on p.18 of the Peg's manual.
    "Step-6: Autobooting"

    setenv boot-file boot.img ramdebug
    setenv boot-device (harddrive's alias name here) *
    setenv auto-boot-timeout 3000
    setenv auto-boot? true

    My Peg's busy installing gentoo so I can't check the firmware settings just yet.

    *the boot-device might be the only thing you'll need to set really. ;)
