xmodem to recover 6500 issues

paarlberg · ‎12-21-2007

I am trying to convert a 6509 from mixed to IOS native mode and I screwed up. Now it only boots to rommon>. The bootflash is empty and I don't have a flash card (they are on order) above 20MB to handle the image which is 26MB.

I am trying to transfer via xmodem and it is not working. I have the console port set to 38400 as the default speed.

Whenever I try to transfer based on the recovery procedure on Cisco's site, I get either no response message(within hyper-terminal). See attached screen shot. You can see some of the previous console messages as well.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
