Hehe ok, thanks all for the input. It's quite weird, especially since I can "upgrade" the system to a full MX80 with licences only, and if I do that I expect that I will be able to run my standard release (10.4R8.5) which I run on my other MX80s (which is the full MX80 btw).
So basically, I feel a bit cheated that I had to "wait" for MX5 to be released when I could get a MX80-5G. I'm going to try to install 11.2R5.4 (recommended release) on it now, I do not trust a R1-release. Ever. ;-) I might also try create a technical support ticket or raise hell with my SR to try to make the 10.4-series to support MX5/10/40s unless someone else has done it already. //T 2012/3/22 Paul Stewart <p...@paulstewart.org>: > Yeah, we just ran into this weird release issue with hardware not being > supported - in this case MX10-T .... > > Anyways, I did do a no validate on a downgrade and it was miserable (had to > reinstall OS via USB key).
