So long story short some kind of power failure must of happened while it was upgrading...
Is there anyway to force the switch into the RedBoot prompt? That seems to be functioning ok, so it would be possible to do a recovery via TFTP, I think.
After the long boot log it just stops, no prompt or anything.
Any help would be awesome! Thanks!
I connected a serial cable up and this is the output I get during boot.

Thanks for the quick reply sirhc!

I actually read that post but I couldn't get a prompt to actually go through the steps.
It turned out it was a problem with my minicom settings...
If anyone else has problems with not being able to Ctrl-C or hit enter in mincom, make sure you turn hardware flow control off.
That fixed my problem so I could actually get to the bootloader prompt.

Thanks again!
