Hi,

It looks like the Flash has been corrupted. So, you most probably need to open a TAC case and RMA the chassis.

Doing a search on the error I found that some people having the error ran fsck on disk0, the ./private/startup-config file was not found error. fsck stopped without any option to correct. Formated disk0 and rebooted the ASA. Loaded a new image from rommon, and problem fixed.

Federico.
