I am now stuck on the same problem at 904. I've reran:
cd /opt/Xilinx/14.4/ISE_DS/common/bin/lin/install_script/install_drivers
sudo ./install_drivers
which tells me
--File /sbin/fxload does not exist.
--The fxload package is not installed. This package is required to ensure correct Platform Cable USB
--operation and must be installed by the user or System Administrator. This warning can be safely ignored
--if you are using the Parallel Cable III or Parallel Cable IV.
So now I am looking for an SLC fxload to install. Maybe these links [1,2] will help.

I installed fxload
by downloading the RPM from here [1]. The final instructions that made it work again are:
# on cms904usr, since l1ts-rct-01 can't see the net
wget http://dl.atrpms.net/el5-x86_64/atrpms/stable/fxload-2008_10_13-2.el5.x86_64.rpm
# l1ts-rct-01
sudo yum --nogpgcheck install fxload-2008_10_13-2.el5.x86_64.rpm
cd /opt/Xilinx/14.4/ISE_DS/common/bin/lin/install_script/install_drivers
sudo ./install_drivers
sudo chmod 666 /dev/windrvr6
@jtikalsky can you confirm this is a sane procedure? if so I will put it on the twiki. @pklabbers - can these steps get added to quattor?

Our cable stopped working after I unplugged it. This was due to Quattor erasing /sbin/fxload (how rude). Could something similar be happening at Chamberlin via puppet? We are working to get it into the Quattor profile here.
I think the instructions above are sufficient, I added it to the wiki. https://github.com/uwcms/cms-calo-layer1/wiki/Xilinx-SDK-XMD-and-JTAG
This is sane.

Hi @jtikalsky, can you put on the wiki [1] instructions on how to recover from the JTAG cable driver getting wedged on ayinger/spaten so Nate/Tapas can fix it when you aren't around?
Do you know what causes the problem?
