After that, the remaining *_finish clients report "SCR::Write() did not return a boolean" The problem is not with the bootloader. The target SCR does not work. Lukas, I think the SCR switch debugger would be useful here. Maybe run the basic checks even if the switch does not return an error? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
