    I'm trying to get this working.

    I managed to get 4 IP330's off ebay quite cheaply. I've also got a null modem cable.

    I've taked the WD hard drive out and stuck it in my PC. I initially had BTX halted issues, but I've put the hard drive in a much older PC and so far so good.

    The main issue is when I connect the null modem cable to the IP330. All I see is 'AT' and nothing else. I've made sure the emulation is VT100, but no dice.

    Does anyone know what the issue is?

    Yeah I'm getting the same problem. If I connect the drive up to a PC, i can console in, move the cable over to the 330, and I get the AT problem.

    I'm guessing its a pin-out issue or a bios issue, but I just can't diagnose it until I get some new cables myself icon_sad.gif

    Is it possible to upgrade the RAM to 512MB? I found some 512MB sticks for about 7 bucks and have been searching around everywhere but can't find an answer.

    Is anyone using a USB-to-Serial cable t console into their Olive? I'm running a Nokia IP 330 and I can console in from a windows machine with a normal 9-pin female to female console cable. My problem is I don't have a windows machine (or any machine) that has a null modem connection. So, I'm forced to use the USB-to-serial adapter. The adapter works fine when I console into my Cisco gear (using either Mac OS X or Ubuntu). When I try to access the Olive, I'm getting a blank screen on my console. Any suggestions and/or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I've managed to get this working, and it's pretty awesome.

    However, I upgraded to 8.5 and now it won't boot. I do have 256MB ram so I know it's not that.

    Rather I am seeing this on startup:

panic: CPU class not configured

    For some reason, the kernel is not seeing my CPU class. When I booted Junos7.1 I saw this: 
    CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor (267.27-MHz 586-class CPU)
  Origin = "AuthenticAMD"  Id = 0x58c  Stepping = 12

real memory  = 268435456 (262144K bytes)

    It's exactly the same box. Did Juniper remove something from the kernel that prevented it from seeing this CPU?

    Has anyone got any version of 8.x/9.x or 10.x working on these boxes?

    Somewhere in JunOS 7.x they started to require a Pentium II class CPU or better which your K6 isn't.

    That's what I thought, but seraphus seems to have 8.3 running on his 1U olive?

    Hmm. What FreeBSD are you using and did you do the upgrade process or start from scratch?

    Installed 4.4 mini - then installed JUNOS 7.1 - then upgraded to JUNOS 8.5 - once rebooted no longer started

    I have some highend crossbeams at home I picked up for very very cheap. I wondered about trying to use these as some kind of blade olive. This seems like a much better idea since I have existing Cisco infrastructure this would work perfectly with. Cheers!

    Got mine up and running on 7.3R3.6 but for some reason I cannot get physical layer up. No activity.

    Did you use a ftp server to load up the junos image?
