This is a very unusual symptom. Would you post the output of show file system from this 1841.

Vishwa,

This case is happend due to buffer issue in NVRAM.We have to clear NVRAM,so erase the NVRAM and try ..it will work..

Command - Router#erase nvram:

after clearing the NVRAM don't restart the router without copy the config to start-up.

Thank you for posting back and telling us that the issue was resolved when you reloaded the router. It makes the forum more useful when people can read about a problem and can read what was done that resolved the problem.
