Follow the instructions and you'll be fine. Every one of the cobalt ROMS I
have flashed has worked first time. The important thing is to not reboot if
it fails. Just do it again.

I have had some issues with RAID. The rom versions are important. I found
that upgrading a raq 3/4 to the latest(ish) rom (2.9.36) allowed me to
install raq550 software on the box, but I couldn't turn it into a control
station without downgrading back to 2.3.XX.

Has anyone tried to get a Qube payload onto 550 hardware? Is there a
non-paged flat rom file for 2.3.xx or will it build on the 2.9.xx roms?

Cheers

Mike
