Hi,
Recently bought a compact flash to upgrade a Cisco1841. But it does not pass in the boot up process.
I can format it, can pass the IOS by tftp, or any other ways, but seems that the ATA monlib part of it do not work well.
Here are some output of my router:
C1841#

I tried with other touter, to see if it is some problem with the router, but if i change the flash card, it works.
Does any one have any idea how can a format that Monlib part of the flash?
I tried to upgrade filesys monlib flash:, but no success at all.
C1841#upgrade filesystem monlib flash:
%Error upgrading monlib in flash: (No such device)
C1841#
When i boot the router, i stop on ROMMOM:
