Evaluating BIOS Options ...
Launch BIOS Extension to setup ROMMON

Cisco Systems ROMMON Version (1.0(10)0) #0: Fri Mar 25 23:02:10 PST 2005

Platform ASA5520

Use BREAK or ESC to interrupt boot.
Use SPACE to begin boot immediately.
                                                
Launching BootLoader...

 

And there it will sit presumably forever.  Breaking in to rommon I can tftpdnld and run any image I want just fine.  Tried erasing flash and reloading image, no good.  Tried new flash, no good.  Tried disk1, no good.  Any ideas?

Hi

I have had some issues with 9.1 not booting on an ASA 5505. 9.0 and 9.2 worked with out a problem. Try another version and see if problem goes away.

Will do, thanks for the suggestion...

This is odd - when I ask Cisco they tell me that 9.2 isn't supported on the 5520.
