I found it very bizarre too, which is why I wondered if I'm missing
something in doing a forced reload, or if a corrupt LKF or BIN would cause
it, software bug, what?
It works just fine after a fresh reload and IP change *until* I save the
changes back to it and reboot. Then, it boots, replies to pings a few
times, and dies.
I would have thought that an incorrect LKF or corrupted BIN would have
become apparent immediately on reboot from forced reload. I'm really at a
loss here.
Karlnet?
