If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options You might have many problems after you upgrade to 4.1.1
1. The hardware issue. Software 4.1.1 requires 8692SF module as the
fabric of Passport 8600 and you probably only have 8690SF on your
Passport.
2. The software issue. As your mention, you got errors while the
Passport was booting. This is usual because you upgrade from 3.1.5
which is not recommended by Nortel. You might use "source" command to
solve it but you will get more issues due to the difference command
formats on 4.1 and 3.1.
