I tried the password reset function uboot menu and it worked, but the first unit logs
me out of the console after password change and even if I try to relogin it kills the login process
so something is wrong with the OS ?
the second unit it now lets me logon to the console an it seems to be working properly.
So thanks for the help so far.
Is there any way for me to reinstall the OS on the first unit ?
Here's a log of what is happening on the first unit during password change and logon:

Also during kernel load I saw these messages on first unit:
Loading module Voltaire
Empty flash at 0x02eb8908 ends at 0x02eb9000
Empty flash at 0x0613c8e8 ends at 0x0613d000
Empty flash at 0x08d1d504 ends at 0x08d1d800
These are not present in the working (second) unit.
