Hello,
odd indeed. I think you have to rename the file to a .bin extension in order for it to be recognized by the router after a reboot.
What if you manually load the file from flash:
controller vdsl 0 firmware flash:

Thanks Georg.
Yes, its pretty strange. It has me pretty puzzled!
So, a "dir flash" shows no separate firmware file:
Directory of flash:/
1 -rw- 32432524 Mar 1 1984 00:01:00 +00:00 c880data-universalk9-mz.151-4.M5.bin
2 -rw- 780 Aug 17 2017 10:02:54 +00:00 vlan.dat
3 -rw- 1151 Aug 5 2015 14:16:56 +00:00 backup_config.cfg
4 -rw- 36910352 Aug 5 2015 14:21:16 +00:00 c880data-universalk9-mz.152-4.M6a.bin
5 -rw- 2622 Aug 17 2017 18:29:48 +00:00 startup.txt
Thats just after a 'warm' reload. The controller was up and the firmware loaded prior to reboot.
Daemon Status: Firmware Download
DSL modem is not yet initialized.
Firmware Source File Name (version)
-------- ------ -------------------
OS FW embedded VDSL_LINUX_DEV_01212008 (1)
I'm thinking I might need to get the separate (not OS FW) firmware file, tftp it in, and then do as you suggest.

Hello,
I assume you have a service contract to download the latest firmware release...
Be sure to follow the procedure below to upgrade the firmware:

Odd indeed that the file just disappears...
