Hi all,
(IOS : C870 Software (C870-ADVIPSERVICESK9-M), Version 12.4(4)T7, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1))
after running the router for month w/o any interruption, the device failed today /few times with an :

Writing crashinfo to flash:crashinfo_20070817-161819
On the first fail, I reloaded the device and- bang- the flash: wasn't readable anymore !
In ROMMOM I got some strange I/O Errors on flash device. Finally i performed a format flash: successfully and tftpdnld'ed the IOS back to the device.
On first restart, I got again an excpection (same as before) but now the crashfile (I can submit infos from the crashfile - if needed) was written to flash w/o problems and the router is now up and running....
Question:
Is there ANY indicator for a h/w problem ? (I think yes, cause the config was unchanged since july and the router is running non-stop since december or so.)
Will dealer accept an RMA on this issue ?
Is this a (more or less) common problem with 871 ?
Any other out there with this symtom ?
Any indicator in the dump about the cause ? (I have NO experience in analysing cisco dumps)
Best and thanks,
Stephan

Hi Stephan,
at first look seems HW related. But please attach crashinfo.
Today was very hot, is your 871 well ventilated ?

Hi P. :)
the device is located in germany - but it was hot today too... nevertheless, the device is located in a small datacenter with equal temp all time.
Attached the crashinfo...
THANKS, Stephan

Hi,
Seems like something related to DHCP but, could be erratic HW also. Delete crashinfo and check if it happens again:
flashfs_fsck
tw_timer_start
dhcpc_new_state
dhcpc_process_inpak
dhcpc_queue_event
dhcpc_process
ppc_process_dispatch
process_execute

...already done that... fired a bunch of "release dhcp .." renew dhcp..:" and "fsck flash:".... but the device is stable - hmm.
I will try to stress the device a little bit (it's connected to a 10MBit/s uplink) and observe.
BUT:can I still trust the device ?
Best,S.

Honestly I wouldn't know.
What I know is if under maintenance contract with cisco, they would replace it no question asked.
