If it's corrupted, you will need a new image in order to boot into IOS. Most likely you will need to download a fresh image and xmodem the image to the 6500 file system.

This document covers this situation in details:

thanks for the doc...but the image that is on the 6500 now is corrupt..It will not boot up..it errors out and goes to the rommon prompt..there is not enough space available in bootflash to load another image..do you know the command from rommon to delete the corrupt image? thank you for your help and time..appreciate it

When proceeding with the xmodem, you are given the option to erase the current image.

Please read the documentation.

delete sup-bootdisk:c6sup22-jk2o3sv-mz.121-27b.E4.bin

Does this help?

Hello, 

 

I just ran into the same issue with a corrupted image on flash and was not able to delete flash from rommon.

 

Working on Rommon is pretty tedious and you have limited options

 

Solution,

- Find a router with a Cisco compact flash with the image on it, eject the compact flash

- Move it the router that is on Rommon, reload.

- Once the image is decompressed , you should beable to get to CLI.

- Once on CLI, connect the compact flash with corrupted image and then "delete flash:"

- Now you should be able to configure the router interface and load the new image via tftp.

 

 

I figured out in the process that once the router boot from flash you can remove the compact flash without losing access to CLI

 

I know this may not be the prettiest, but that is a workaround.
