ASA 5510 hanging on boot

[rick]

When I power on our ASA 5510 it just hangs on "Launching BootLoader...".

I've managed to get into ROMMON before it attempts to launch the bootloader and tried to restore an ASA image but it said disk0: failed to mount.

I've copied the console output but am not sure if it is helpful to diagnose the problem or not (and is quite long); I can post any/all of it if it will help.

Any help/ideas would be much appreciated!

Rick, copy the console output text into nodepad and save it as a text file then attach it to this post..it may help .

when the message says " disk0 fail to mount"

is it when you try to tftp the image into asa? do you recall what version code you were running?

Attached is the console output.

The last section starting with "graceful shutdown" was initiated via ASDM, after which it hangs at bootloader again.

I am having the same error with my 5510. Is there a resolve to this?

I ended up with formatting my disk0: drive and uploaded the software again.

Remember to save activation keys etc.

This comes with no waranties and is on your own risk

I have same error on asa 5505 and i format 2 compact flash 2GB sandisk and i have same error , any help guys ?

Do you have the same issue with the built-in memory installed in the ASA? "show disk0" to confirm.

When you use the same cards in a different system, are they functional?

Have you tried to reload the ASA.
