I've got a 3100 that I tried to upgrade to 7.1.1 and it seems I've somehow corrupted the packages--I won't go into details so I can save a little face

. I can still log in to the # prompt, so I want to use sshd and scp to get the 7.1.1 packages on the modem, but when I start sshd it only runs for 15-20 seconds before stopping. A look at /var/log/messages shows 'auth.info sshd[2968]: Received signal 15; terminating.'

Any ideas?

The modem does not reboot. I was able to load my correct options file via the hyperterm session, and copy/pasting it into falcon.opt. When I did that, it would reboot on its own. So I went back to the original that I had renamed, and it stopped doing that.

Falcon tells me it's running, and so is falcon_monitor.

The real trouble is that when I telnet 0, I see '[ErrorStack] admin@telnet:127.0.0.0;1024' and then the normal prompt. If I type in 'help' I see all of six commands listed. The command 'laninfo' is not one of them, and when I type that command I get 'unkown command'. That's just and example; same thing with other commands.

So falcon is running..and sshd stops after falcon is running. Hmmm. �Interesting.

Do you have IP connectivity to this box (interfaces are functional?) I am sure you do if falcon is running. �However, it does sound as if something is corrupt in falcon process. �Especially if the telnet to localhost is not yielding the normal results (laninfo, etc). �

When you upgraded this 3100 to 7.1.1, you loaded the cumulative update on it first, correct? Followed by the image and opt? �Did you do all of this on console or by GUI? �

Have you tried stopping facon and running sshd? �Not sure if it will help but worth a try. �

I figured this out, and then forgot to come back here and post the results. I had to stop the idirect_falcon service in order to keep sshd running. Mike, your guess was correct.

So once I had sshd running with no problems, I then SCP'd over the 7.1.1 cumulative and remote packages, as well as my option file. Then I continued via the console, and followed the directions in the iDirect Technical Note for Recovering iNFINITI Remotes. In Section 5 I repeated Step 6, doing it once for the Cumulative package, and then again for the Remote package.

Everything worked great after that. I can't say I'm happy this happened, but I'm glad I was able to learn a lot more about iDirect modems.
