Let's wait for experts but I think you have to go back. check flash if there is still previous version; if yes, change BOOT=flash: xxx . if not, copy previous .bin file to flash and boot from it.

Hey, Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I have the exact same issue now and I can't get to a point where I can enter anythign into the switch at all. It just keep cycling 5 times through these messages and then locks up.

Console into the switch and reboot. 
Post the entire boot-up process.

[Leo Laohoo]

Post the complete output to the command "sh version".

[mnreybers]

The switch seems locked up and if I reboot it just repeat again the msges in boot still it stop. All the status lights on the left on constantly as well

[Leo Laohoo]

Can you force the switch to boot into ROMMON?
