Hi

yesterday I needed to update the firmware in 2 3750X-24T so they are the same as the rest of our 3750X's we have.

The first went as it should have however the second failed after I issued the "reload" command.

When rebooting this 3750X gets as far as

Front-end Microcode IMG MGR: Preparing to program device microcode...
Front-end Microcode IMG MGR: Preparing to program device[0]...594412 bytes.
Front-end Microcode IMG MGR: Programming device 0...rrrrrrwsssssssssssssssssssps
sssssssssssssssssspssssssssssssssssssspssssssssssssssssssspsssssssssssssssssssps
sssssssssssssssssspssssssssssssssssssspssssssssssssssssssspsssssssssssssssssssps
sssssssssssssssssspssssssssssssssssssspssssssssssssssssssspsssssssssssssssssssp

Then repeats "ssssssssssssssssssp"

Ware to from hear?

I have tried to reload the bin image into the firmware file into flash from a USB memeory stick but with no luck.

I am not sure if it is related but

After issuing the "flash_init" command, the 3750x seems to hang for a long time at

switch: flash_init
Initializing Flash...

eventually it will come back to the "switch" prompt after a few "enter' keystrokes

any help would be appreciated.
