Are you sure that the slave supports CoE? This obviously tell us that
it does not...

Is it possible, that the mailbox configuration is still wrong?

Another possibility would be, that the slave is not ready to talk CoE
directly after going to PREOP. I had some slaves, that needed a few
seconds to initialize their CoE protocol handlers. But this would
definitely not be conforming to the standard, because a slave has to be
able to communicate via mailbox directly after going to PREOP...
