ICX 7150-C12 Updates cause broken sectors.

[kc_luchsinger]

I'm trying to update an ICX7150-C12 with a newer firmware.  It's currently running 8.0.61a, and I am aware upgrading past this requires that you load both the firmware & the eUFI image, which I have done.  I can get the switch to update (on the Secondary Flash) and it seems to take the install as well as the reimage, but when you try to boot to secondary, it gives me a notice that it's "Skipping Bad Block", as seen below.  I've included my whole boot sequence here, as there's likely information in here about where my problem is occurring.  I'm upgrading via TFTP, and I have tried multiple different versions of firmware, with identical results.  I've also tried copying the primary flash back over to the secondary and starting from scratch to no avail.  Can anyone shed some light on this?

I know that when I upgraded my firmware I had to upgrade to 8.0.80e (non-UFI) first. It appears that you tried to upgrade to 8.0.90eUFI (correct me if I am wrong).

Try downloading 8.0.80e and load the non-UFI image first. Then you should be able to upgrade to a UFI image after that.

Here are the files I upgraded using:
Boot image: 08080e\ICX7150\Boot\mnz10114.bin
Firmware image: 08080e\ICX7150\Images\SPR08080e.bin

Commands to load from a USB flash drive (your file paths could be different):
copy disk0 flash 08080e/ICX7150/Images/SPR08080e.bin primary
copy disk0 flash 08080e/ICX7150/Boot/mnz10114.bin bootrom

Just tried to load 8.0.80e with identical results.

I lied!  That seemed to do it, I just forgot to load the boot image!  Thanks!
