VPN 3005

I have a VPN 3005 concentrator...when im in via serial i get the following error:

Boot-ROM Initializing...

Boot configured 32Mb of RAM.

...Code image(s) could not be loaded!

THE SYSTEM WILL NOT CONTINUE...

WARNING - If this message is seen then either an IDE device

was not found or a valid main image could not be loaded!

Boot code complete...

Is there a way to erase the flash card and reprogram it??? Any ideas? TIA

Hi,

Check that the flash is sitting properly.If that's not the problem, then could be bad flash that needs replacing.

Thanks

John

By any chance are you running 4.1? There's a bug with this

I have only upgraded the 3005 through the GUI, to my knowledge there's no way to upgrade it like the you would do using ROMON. On all of Cisco's docs if you have problems it says return to Cisco.

If anyone does know how to do this please tell!
