My Aruba 3400-US came to us via ebay with no flash. I have installed 512mb flash and reinstalled image via tftp. When I boot the image for the first time it gets to CompactFlash test and says Newly formatted compactflash! Creating file system then it sits there and I have let it sit there for 24 hrs and still nothing. The ArubaOS_MMC_6.3.1.25_61811 is the version we upgraded with. Any suggestions?

Did you use the method below:

format 0
setenv ipaddr <ip of controller>
setenv netmask <subnetmask>
setenv gatewayip <controller gtw addr>
setenv serverip <ftp server addr>
setenv ethprime xlr_gmac0
save
reset

upgrade 0:0 <AOS Version> [e.g.ArubaOS_MMC_6.3.1.25_61811]
purge
save
boot

Yes we followed the procedure above

This is the result

Then it hangs

we have left this running overnight.

I am out of guesses.

Try the "eye_finder" command.

You said you got it off of Ebay, right?  Check to make sure there are also 2 x 512MB sticks of DDR2, ECC UDIMM 667mhz memory also on the motherboard.

yes it has that type of ram still hanging on boot.

How can I get an older version of the AOS to try

Say 6.2
