ASA 5510 will not booot

justkarl80
Level 1
Level 1

Hi All,

I have defaulted a 5510 to factory settings but the device will not boot now. It loads the image and states that its a ASA5510, then moves to dosfsck but does not progress from there. It does not move past this after 30mins. This is taking too long, so clearly there is some issue in the process somewhere.


Booting system, please wait...

Very long time ago I had a failed internal CF-card and if I remember right, the symptoms were the same. I would:

  1. Take the CF out of the ASA
  2. Copy all files (there are hidden ones) if possible to a new CF-card
  3. put the newest 8.2(x) image onto the new CF-card
  4. place the new card in the ASA
  5. try again to boot the system
