hi,

But the command - confreg 0x2102 / 0xffff doesn't work. It doesn't accept the Confreg usage this way.

Please check the output below:

rommon 8 >confreg 0x2102

usage: confreg

rommon 9 >reset

Resetting .......

rommon 10 >

Autobooting using BOOT variable specified file.....

Could not find a valid file in BOOT environment variable.

BOOT variable can be set from IOS. To find currently set

Rom Monitor variables, please type 'set' command.

For help on choosing a boot method, type 'confreg' command.

Your switch is configured to auto boot using the BOOT variable but it doesn't have a boot variable set. Do you know where the image is stored and what it is called ? If so

rommon 1> boot /

then when the switch has booted up in your config

4500(config)# boot system flash /

Jon

the image is in bootflash.

Executed COmmands:

rommon 7 >dir bootr flash:

File size Checksum File name

--------------------------------------------------

8620144 bytes (0x838870) 0xf927975a cat4000-is-mz.121-13.EW.bin

Total space = 61341696 bytes, Available = 52721424 bytes

rommon 8 >boot bootflash:cat4000-is-mz.121-13.EW.bin

After this, the switch is booting & again returning to Rommon mode.

"After this, the switch is booting & again returning to Rommon mode"

And it is giving the same output as in your previous post ie. it cannot find a boot variable value ?

Jon

if you can boot it manually from the rommon the image is valid, the problem is your config register. After booting succesfully, see the result of show boot, make sure you have a boot variable and the config-register is 0x2102, if either or both are not what it should be, try the following:

1. conf t

boot system flash bootflash:

wr mem

2. conf t

config-register 0x2102

wr mem

show ver and show boot again to verify. If there is boot variable and config-register is 0x2102, reboot that should boot the IOS.

I have already tried - boot system flash bootflash: & also tried config-register 0x2102.

'Confreg 0x2102' is not working. Even If i boot with the image & reload, the switch reboots & gets back to the Rommon mode.
