Hi springtian , 

Memory seems to be corrupted.

At this point , I would try to replace the flash memory. 

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/hw/maintenance/guide/asa_hw/procs.html#pgfId-1084655

Or ask for a RMA if the device is entitled.

Hope this helps.

Were you able to resolve your issue yet?

[springtian]

Not yet !

I've put it back to the supplier to repair ,  and as rvarelac     said , the flash memory had been broken .

Thanks for your interest !
