check the configuration registry ???

it should be 0x2102.

do "sh ver" and go to the bottom and check it!!

Hi,

Yes the config is 0x2102.

When in rommon do you just type boot or do you have to tell it where the image is ?

Once thing to try is to set confreg in rommon mode.

I seem to remember that some platforms would boot to rommon if there was not a boot statement in IOS. I can't recall if the 7600 was one of these devices.

If you don't have 'boot system flash ' make sure you have that there.

Hi All,

From this perspective i see there is issue with the conf register due to which the router is going to Rommon mode after the reload of the device.

I request you to please check the following:-

Complete these steps:

In global configuration mode, issue the config-register 0x2102 command, and set the configuration register to 0x2102 for both the RP and the SP.

6500_IOS# config t

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

6500_IOS(config)# config-register 0x2102

6500_IOS(config)# end

To verify the configuration register value at the next reload, issue the show bootvar command.

6500_IOS# show bootvar

BOOT variable = slot0:c6sup12-ps-mz.121-13.E14,1

CONFIG_FILE variable =

BOOTLDR variable =

Configuration register is 0x2102

To verify that the configuration register on the SP also changed, issue the remote command switch show bootvar command.

6500_IOS# remote command switch show bootvar

6500_IOS-sp#

BOOT variable = slot0:c6sup12-ps-mz.121-13.E14,1

CONFIG_FILE variable =

BOOTLDR variable =

Configuration register is 0x2 (will be 0x2102 at next reload)

Reload the switch for the new SP configuration register setting to take effect.

6500_IOS# reload

Note: You can issue the copy running-config startup-config command at this point to save the configuration. However, this step is not necessary because the configuration register setting is not part of the startup or running configuration.

I hope this should solve your issue.As i am 100 % confident on this.

Plz rate if this help.

Regards

Inayath.
