I have a Buffalo Linkstation LS-CHL (version 1 as far as I have been able to deduct).
After 16 months of operation the harddisk did break down, which was indicated by blinking red error code 6, corrupt firmware. I decided to try to exchange the disk (I am aware this is not something that is supported).
Obtained a new 2 TB disk (the old one was 1 TB).
I have tried to search your site for a step-by-step guide, but without any luck. I have, however, found different information on the subject.
I have formatted the harddisk in xfs format using a Linux machine and a docking station, and then installed the disk in my unit (still blinking error code 6).
I cannot get in contact with it using LSUpdater, så I have then tried to perform a TFTP boot procedure as described here:

I see my pc does get the two requests, but the unit does just keep blinking blue. If I restart it, it will go back to blinking the red error 6 code.
What am I missing?
Isn’t it possible to download the files on a Linux machine and then copy them to the disk?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Bjørn
