ASA 5520 boot problem

[argagan01]

Hi,

ASA5520 has boot problem, it always stuck at booting process, with no response.

I have tried updating image file using ROMMON but it always fails on Checksum verification on install image failed. tried with different files but no success..

Any suggestion, at present no image file on ASA..

All process followed are correct

ADDRESS=

SERVER=       No gateway as both machine are connected through cross over

PORT=

IMAGE=

tftp

after this as you will notice, it will start copying file but at end when its time to load new image file, it give checksum error.

Steps already tried:

Tried using different TFTP server (tftpd64 & Solar Winds)

tried using multiple image files

Doing a manual MD5 checksum while downloading the image file.. Files downloaded are perfect.

Hi ,

 I am suspecting issue with your image , may be corrupted , can you download your image again from Cisco portal and upload again to asa appliance .

i have tried multiple imaged downloaded from cisco only..847,843,901,903 etc.. but all has same problem.

I have checked checksum with cisco & all are correct...

Hi

Can you try formatting your flash memory once 

To erase the file system, enter the erase command, which overwrites all files and erases the file system, including hidden system files.

rommon #1> erase [ disk0: | disk1: | flash:]

[argagan01]

Still the same

[SANTHOSHKUMAR SARAVANAN]

Hi ,

 Kindly raise Cisco TAC or RMA for Hardware replacement
