Z. If you jumpstarted the V210 fresh, and it got into the boot loop,
then try upgrading the jumpstart server to 112233-08, and jump it again.
Do you tweak anything around /kernel/drv on the jumpstart server to add
extra LUN's etc. after standard jumpstart? Can you jump any other V210's
successfully?
