HI Guys,
i have an ASA 5510. it was running asa708-k8.bin and i have attempted to install asa821-k8.bin. i have done this on many ASAs before effortlessly.
this time i have had an issue. the ASA will not load the new image, and for some reason will not even load the old.
the ASA seems to just keep crashing. i have erased disk0 (advised in forum): and attempted to load the image from tftp. please see below. i know i need to re-formaet the flash, but cannot get into the ASA at all to complete this.
has anyone seen this before?
