Hello all,
I`ve encountered an issue with ISR4221, which so far not been able to solve.
(Some of the repetative signs in the console outputs have been formatted out for ease of reading)
When the router boots, its stuck in a loop, being not able to boot the image on the "bootflash:"
Initializing Hardware ...

unable to open bootflash:isr4200-universalk9_ias.16.06.05.SPA.bin (14)

If I break the boot and load in to ROMMON - I see that bootflash: is not readible from this mode.
rommon 1 > dir bootflash:
unable to open bootflash: (14)
Failed to read directory contents (Not Found)
The only options to boot I got are TFTP and USB0, both work .
When booting the same image from usb0: it works ok -
rommon 2> boot usb0:
Located isr4200-universalk9_ias.16.06.05.SPA.bin

After boot in to the IOS, i am able to do "dir bootflash:" and it shows the correct files inside -
Router#dir bootflash:

As last resort I`ve tried to format the bootflash:, but seems this is only deleting the files inside, as the file system is not changing even if I try the "secure" option.
Router#show bootflash: filesys
Filesystem: bootflash
Filesystem Path: /bootflash
Filesystem Type: ext2
Mounted: Read/Write
Router#format bootflash:
Format operation may take a while. Continue? [confirm]
Format operation will destroy all data in "bootflash:". Continue? [confirm]
Format of bootflash: complete
Router#dir bootflash:

I am able to copy files to the flash ok, and vice versa. So seems the flash is working ok.
Router#copy usb0:isr4200-universalk9_ias.16.06.05.SPA.bin bootflash:

The bootvar seems to be ok :
Router#sh bootvar
BOOT variable = bootflash:isr4200-universalk9_ias.16.06.05.SPA.bin,12;
CONFIG_FILE variable does not exist
BOOTLDR variable does not exist
Configuration register is 0x2102
Standby not ready to show bootvar
Router#sh run | i boot
boot-start-marker
boot system bootflash:isr4200-universalk9_ias.16.06.05.SPA.bin
boot-end-marker
Seems I am missing something.
BR.
