Rescue system not starting

I'm having trouble starting the rescue system. Uboot starts fine (see below) and show starting kernel....and the LED goes away (dark). My DHCP servers doesn't show any request. I have tried to manually connect/ping to the 169.254.9.17 but I don't get any response (I did change my primary system IP to 169.254.9.17/16).

The strangest thing is that it worked the 1st time a few days ago. Now that I really need it... I'm hosed. Any help?

Looks like my issue is related to the changing the Arcnumber to 2998. The last time I was able to successful boot was before I changed the Arc#.

I do hope this issue gets resolve soon.

Thanks..

I have the same problem here. I changed the arcNumber and now it wont boot. What are the things i can do?

The simpliest way is to use a serial cable and set the arcNumber back.

If you already have set up netcat you can use it instead of a serial cable!

Next step is to compile the rescue system for yourself and install it. (Not an easy task but can be done. I am not an experienced linux freak and made it work!)

My version works with 2998!

Have look here (and at the start post of that topic!)

I loaded Jeff's Rescue System V2 this past weekend, and it works fine now with the new arcNumber.
