Hi,

I've also ran into problems trying to upgrade to the latest firmware. My error message is a bit different however...

I remember I fixed this problem earlier by aborting the usual boot sequence and enter some kind of boot menu where I could tell the switch to download a new firmware on next boot (or something like that). However, I don't remember how to enter that menu...

If someone knows how I'd be ever grateful if he/she could post it here!

I'll continue googleing and keep you updated.

Oh; forgot the point ;) The point in all this was to install an older firmware to get the switch up and running again.
