Cisco 1841 - hangs at boot "Port Statistics for unclassified packets is not turned on"

[gauravshar]

Hi all,

I have been facing an issue with one of the newly purchased 1841's.. It was working fine this morning when I was testing some Compact-Flash cards (whetehr they have right Image and are readable). The router is coming up to either ROMMON or stuck at the message "Port Statistics for unclassified packets is not turned on".

Did you face thsi problem, ever? What could be the solution?

The router can read the flash and gives the IOS image when I run 'dir flash:' from ROMMON.         

Thanks,

Gaurav

Adding the result when the router boots up:

rommon 1 > boot flash:
program load complete, entry point: 0x8000f000, size: 0xcb80
program load complete, entry point: 0x8000f000, size: 0xcb80
