update of 3524XL firmware results in boot problems In a network with twelve 3524xl switches and one 3508xl we updated to the recent firmware image c3500XL-c3h2s-mz.120-5.WC3b. This was successfull with 6 switches 3524 and the 3508; they are working fine, showing up the features of the new image, no known bugs of the former version etc..
But 2 switches do not boot up after transferring the new image, showing this error message --------------------------------------------------- C3500xl POST: System Board Test: Passed C3500xl POST: Daughter Card Test: Passed C3500xl POST: CPU Buffer Test: Passed C3500xl POST: CPU Notify RAM Test: Passed C3500xl POST: CPU Interface Test: Passed C3500xl POST: Testing Switch Core: Passed Error with Switch Core BIST test Phase 0.
