The following router was reloaded this morning, as
part of an IOS upgrade:
Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software
IOS (tm) C2600 Software (C2600-D-M), Version 12.2(26), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)
Copyright (c) 1986-2004 by cisco Systems, Inc.
Compiled Sat 31-Jul-04 04:57 by eaarmas
Image text-base: 0x8000808C, data-base: 0x80B5EE4C
ROM: System Bootstrap, Version 11.3(2)XA4, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
charlestown-3 uptime is 5 hours, 56 minutes
System returned to ROM by reload
System restarted at 09:11:53 EDT Thu Oct 7 2004
System image file is "flash:c2600-d-mz.122-26.bin"
cisco 2611 (MPC860) processor (revision 0x203) with 28672K/4096K bytes of memory.
Processor board ID JAD05210CWH (2690511917)
M860 processor: part number 0, mask 49
Bridging software.
X.25 software, Version 3.0.0.
2 Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 interface(s)
2 Serial(sync/async) network interface(s)
32K bytes of non-volatile configuration memory.
8192K bytes of processor board System flash (Read/Write)
Configuration register is 0x2102
Here's the dir flash: output
Directory of flash:/
1 -rw- 6234888 Oct 6 2004 14:49:05 -04:00 c2600-d-mz.122-26.bin
2 -rw- 23923 Oct 7 2004 15:08:02 -04:00 qos.cfg
7864316 bytes total (1605376 bytes free)
And the startup-config has the command
boot system flash c2600-d-mz.122-26.bin
as the only boot command.
This morning, prior to the reload, the only thing
different was the order of files in flash, i.e. qos.cfg was the first file.
On reload, the router went to rommon, complaing that
qos.cfg wasn't a valid IOS image.
Has anyone seen this before? It's almost like the
conf register was set to 0x2101 rather than 0x2102.
When I got on the router's console, I gave the command
boot c2600-d-mz.122-26.bin
and it came right up.
I'd like any tips or feedback anyone has.
Thanks.
