Actually, if you'd seen my messages, you'd have seen the only solution I
ever had success with... they are almost certainly in the archives. In
short:
- reformat the flash RAM, *all* of it
(set register 0xffff 0x0f63)
- reload a generic ComOS via the PROM Boot tftp method
(serial loads did not work for me, kept getting bad CRC)
- reconfigure manually, do *NOT* attempt to reload a saved config or
you will back in square one
- upgrade to the appropriate ComOS
The specifics for the first two pseudo-steps above are in the manuals. I've
not had a problem on any of our previously affected units since doing the
above to each, all now running ComOS 3.3.2c1 or higher. One unit, a PM2eR
running more-or-less flawlessly for months under 3.3.2, just got bitten by
spontaneous reboots this week, so I trust nothing prior to 3.3.2c1.
