Hi Ron

This is what Cisco says about getting "Permission denied" message in switches after software upgrades:

"This error message appears when the boot parameters are not set correctly. In most of the cases, when setting the boot parameters during or after the upgrade, the word flash: is mistyped or completely missed.

Go to Setting BOOT Parameters at ROMMON (Switch: Prompt) to verify and set the BOOT parameters correctly.

If setting the BOOT parameters to the correct filename does not resolve the issue, perform an X-Modem upgrade, as the file present on the Flash memory could be corrupted or invalid."

Looking at your post it seems the word "flash:" is missing in your boot statement so try to fix it.

Hi HTH,

Thanks! The word "flash:" is missing.

I'm so careless.

Thanks a lot!
