Hi
I've ended up in rommon mode on my new"old" RMA'ed ASA5505, and I'm stuck there, I'v tried to erase Disk0 and all that, and tftp'ed a new image into the box, but when booting I get the message :
INFO: Unable to read firewall mode from flash
WARNING: Unable to write firewall mode to flash, this is normal if flash is not formatted
Running Activation Key: 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000
This activattion key is invalid, use default settings only
i2c_write_byte_w_suspend() error, slot = 0x0, device = 0x40, address = 26 byte count =1. Reason: I2C_UNPOPULATED_ERROR
Any ideas anyone ?
Best regards
Hans

Hi Hans,
Unfortunately this sounds like a hardware problem that would require replacement. I would suggest opening a TAC case to have this looked at so you can get an RMA filed.
Hope that helps.

Hej Miro..
Thats the funny part of this, just got this back from a former RMA, packed and sealed from Cisco,UK, but it seems that I have to get "back on that horsy"
Thanks

Hi Stephen
Well, I gave up and opened a new TAC case, and got it replaced for the second time.
I seems to me that there are som hardware issues with the smaller models of the Cisco 5500 series.
So my advise to you, get it done, don´t use to many hours on this
Regards
Hans

Thank you Hans for the follow up. I won't waste any more time trying to recover this box.
