Firmware is being downloaded to the switch. This step may take up to 30 minutes.

[2]: Thu Oct 16 14:25:41 2008
Firmware download failed - Unable to access the package list file. Check whether
the switch is supported by the requested firmware. Also check firmwaredownload
help page for other possible failure reasons. (0x12)

what was the command you used to update the firmware? and what entries did you give it?

Or, if you did this from the web gui...

what was the path you specified for the firmware?

1. Did you extract the firmware to a directory on your ftp server?

2. If you just extact the files, the default path should be v5.2.1b/release.plist

and the path correct is:

Example:
