Hi there,

I done some flash upgrades on my cisco router 4500 series.Since it cannot boot up eventhough go through several step or procedures on password recovery it still return to rommon. here is the output:

C4500 processor with 8192 Kbytes of main memory

device does not contain a valid magic number

boot: cannot open "bootflash:"

boot: cannot determine first file name on device "bootflash:"
