The output of dir flash shows unable to stat flash., may i know the reason?. The Stat LED is green in color.
Some of the outpu follows,
switch: dir flash
unable to stat flash/: permission denied
switch: copy xmodem: flash:c2950-i6q4l2-mz.121-22.EA7.bin
Begin the Xmodem or Xmodem-1K transfer now...
CCCCCCCCCCBB0BB0xmodem:: I/O error
switch: flash_init
Initializing Flash...
...The flash is already initialized.
switch: load_helper
Thank you,

Is the xmodem transfer working now?
The transfer will take a long while as pointed out, I wouldn't be surprised for 72 minutes to be correct.

Make sure that your cabling and the MD5 checksum of the bin file you have matches the one on cisco website when you download it.
If cabling and IOS image MD5 are right, then it's most likely that it needs an RMA.

Thank you. I am not sure about the RMA(waranty) status of the device.
The switch displays the switch: prompt.
Switch: dir flash
unable to stat flash/: permission denied.
switch: flash_init
Initializing Flash...
...The flash is already initialized.
Could be a issue with hardware(flash)? Is that possible to replace that alone?
Thank you,

Can you load the helper (load_helper command) after the flash_init and try the dir after again
09-08-2009 02:10 PM
you will have this information in my first post. Yes, I tried with
switch: load_helper
Still have the same result.
Thank you,

Unfortunately that sounds to me like an RMA.
09-08-2009 02:21 PM
Thank you for your reply. Just to make sure, when i do
switch: flash_init
Initializing Flash...
...The flash is already initialized.
Thanks,

So the command flash_init was already entered and you said it says the same thing for load_helper.
How about if you power cycle the switch and try it again from the order mentioned previously?
1. flash_init
2. load_helper

After the power cycle and the above steps, gives same status.
switch: flash_init
Initializing Flash...
...The flash is already initialized.
switch: load_helper
switch: dir flash
unable to stat flash/: permission denied
switch: load_helper
switch: flash_init
Initializing Flash...
...The flash is already initialized.
switch: dir flash
unable to stat flash/: permission denied
switch: copy xmodem: flash:c2950-i6q4l2-mz.121-20.EA1.bin
Begin the Xmodem or Xmodem-1K transfer now...
CCCCCCCCCCBB0BB0xmodem:: I/O error

The switch went defective, RMA will be the way to go.

in rommon, type i and enter
then type dir flash:
You will be prompted to Iinitialize flash simm, reply 'Y'
After that, you can xmodem.
