Hi guys, I had a power failure at my place last night and now my RB2011 just keeps on rebooting when it gets to the Starting Kernel step.
I tried the reset button at all the specified intervals but its does the same.
I tried the netinstall but it just continues to boot and then reboot and does not detect in netinstall.
Has anybody got any suggestions for me please.
have you tried routerboot-ing the backup bootloader??
plagiarized
Also you should know that RouterBOOT reset button has three functions, as described in MikroTik Wiki:
Hold this button during boot time until LED light starts flashing, release the button to reset RouterOS configuration (total 5 seconds) Keep holding for 5 more seconds, LED turns solid, release now to turn on CAPs mode (total 10 seconds) Or Keep holding the button for 5 more seconds until until LED turns off, then release it to make the RouterBOARD look for Netinstall servers (total 15 seconds) If you hold the button before applying power, backup RouterBOOT bootloader will be used in addition to all the above actions. To do the above actions without loading the backup loader, push the button right after applying power to the device.
Yip tried all that flavours
which version of the 2011 do you have?
uhm the one with Wifi
RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN
seeing as this is a last resort situation… how about reflashing the routerboot firmware over serial (xmodem)…
the firmware is on the website. make sure to use a good stable psu, and if it doesnt output on serial, seal it in a ziplock and stick it in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Xmodem Method
If there is no IP connectivity with your RouterBOARD, you can also use the Serial Console XMODEM transfer to send the FWF file to the router, while connected via Serial Console. From the Bootloader menu it’s possible to upgrade the firmware with this method. This method is the last resort, and should be used only if the first two methods are not available. from here FWF file for your router
Thanks for the info. I will give it a shot
Fixed my RB2011iLIN reboot loop with this way:
On my PC set static IP 192.168.88.2
Installed netinstall on my PC, downloaded from Mikrotik MIPSBE Main package version 6.43.12 (stable)
On netinstall click Netboot set it to Bootserver enable ip 192.168.88.3
directly connect the cable PC to ETH1
press reset button on the router, plug in the electricity wait 15 seconds release it.
Select the package you downloaded, press install, wait until finish. done
