Good Day all,

I have an 1841 router that was working perfectly untill a reboot. After rebooting the router constantly boots into ROMMON. I changed the flash card for the router and it works ok. But using the original flash it boots to ROMMON. Below is the bootup message that appears:

HI;

POssibly the Flash is couurpted. do contact cisco TAC and get it replaced or get TAC support for formatting and installing IOS on compact flash

since it a month old device only....

HTH

Hi Friend,

The router is not able to find a valid IOS in the flash and hence it is booting to ROMMON

This may be caused due to a corrupted flash file or the IOS is deleted accidently

check out the link for disaster recovery from rommonitor
