ASA 5506-x with FirePower (Images) Stuck in recovery and/or bad image

[MS-JK]

Have:

5506-X running 9.5-2 and also 9.4-2. SFR module images: 6.0.0-1005.img  and .pkg

Issue:

When ASA is running 9.5-2 code, I successfully boot SFR using the 6.0.0 BOOT image. BUT when trying to install the PKG system install) - I get 'Upgrade Aborted" error message AFTER it downloads the image and verifies it. 

When ASA is running 9.4-2 code, I successfully boot SFR using the 6.0.0 BOOT image. BUT when trying to install the PKG (system install) - I get to the point where it gives you : "reboot is required to complete the upgrade. Press "Enter" to reboot".  BUT it never does. Module is stuck in "Recover" status and when session into it - its not responsive. 

Looking at the release notes for 6.0.0 - it seems to have 5506-x listed as supported for both 9.4.2 and 9.5.2 images. 

Anyone run into this? 

Thanks!

Hi,

Is it showing you console session ready ? 

Also, did you try to reload the module once and test if that comes up ?

thanks,

It actually came back online with the 9.4.2 and 6.0.0 code after I woke up in AM. I guess the module took well over 45min to reload after .pkg install completed. 

All working now on 9.4.2 and 6.0.0 set.
