Hi,
We have a 3030 Concentrator that failed recently, giving the following message on the console at boot-time:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boot-ROM Initializing... Boot configured 256 MB of RAM.
No IDE devices found...
...Boot-ROM Found No IDE Devices..! WARNING - If this message is seen then either an IDE device was not found or a valid main image could not be loaded! Boot code complete...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It would seem that the Compact Flash card has failed - this happened during normal operation (it hung, we rebooted it & it never came back).
What I would like to know is can we replace the card with any card bought from a store? What considerations are there for doing this - for example what format should the card be, FAT32? Can I try putting the card in a card-reader & seeing if I can repair it?
Any help much appreciated as I haven't been able to find any information on this.
