[aprachanda]

Hi,

I am unable to boot c881/k9 on new ios c880data-universalk9-mz.155-3.M6.After reload it will again boot with c800-universalk9-mz.SPA.153-3.M4.bin .what might be the issue?

Please help to sort out the issue. Attached are the screenshot and text file.

That image is not for your router.  Search the download centre for C881, not 881.  Here is the right software for your router:

c800-universalk9-mz.SPA.153-3.M4.bin

Philip is correct.  Look at the file prefix for the IOS the router loads.

c880data-universalk9-mz.155-3.M6.bin

This is the IOS you're telling the router to load.  Totally different.  

This is to be expected because the 880 router has a lot of branches.   The file can be found HERE.
