availtech2 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Hello,I have a fairly extensive C4 installation and have come to the point where I really think an HC1000 will help speed things up. I am running 1.7.4 so I can't run Zigbee Pro, or use the HC800 hardware. I found someone who is decommissioning their C4 system and they have an HC1000 they are willing to sell me. Problem is, it doesn't seem to work... If you connect a monitor to it, the controller boots up but kernel panics at mounting /dev/sdb1. There is a message about not being able to mount the main Solid State Drive in Read/Write. The model number listed on the drive is a Seagate ST3500312CS, which is not an SSD. Is it possible someone swapped drives for a standard HDD, or am I missing something? Any other advice anyone has on getting this to boot up?Thanks!
RyanE Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 The HC1000 boots off a flash DOM (Disk On Module) system, and only uses the HDD for media storage.RyanE
availtech2 Posted November 13, 2012 Author Posted November 13, 2012 Aha! So there are actually 2 "drives" onboard: the Flash for the O/S and the 500GB HDD for media? Any thoughts about the kernel panic? Do you think a USB restore would work, or maybe there is a hardware issue?Thanks, Ryan!
RyanE Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 I suspect it's a hardware issue, but there's nothing to be lost from trying a USB restore, except if you have to purchase it first... RyanE
availtech2 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Posted December 17, 2012 Hi RyanI was able to get my hands on an HC1000v3 and it appears to have the dreaded DOM failure. I've been working with Linux for quite a long time, so I used the Recovery USB to build a new boot drive onto a USB flash drive, and backed up the c4key that lives on the 4th partition on the original DOM (assuming it wasn't corrupted, which those sectors don't appear to be). I am able to get the HC1000 to boot up, all filesystems are mounted and all services start, except Director. Turning on debug I see the message "invalid key" for Director repeated over and over. Is the key tied to something burned into the DOM or something else? Do I have any options to get this thing running, or this this controller trashed?Thanks!
RyanE Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 I don't know how the DOM is keyed to Director, unfortunately.I assume it's something like the HD serial number of the DOM, but like I said, that's just a guess.Sorry.RyanE
