Blackbird2018
Level 1
Level 1

Hi All

I was wondering if you can help me out, I have loaded ios c2600-ipbasek9-mz.124-25a.bin on the router, for some reason it boots twice as you can see details below, it says %SYS-6-READ_BOOTFILE_FAIL: flash:c2600-j1s3-mz.123-26.bin File boot failed -- File not accessible, but this file is not in flash, than it says boot of "rom" using boot helper "flash:c2600-ipbasek9-mz.124-25a.bin" failed, it than loads again self decompressing the c2600-ipbasek9-mz.124-25a.bin image and than works, dont know why it is loading twice, I have done the following for troubleshootingRouting

1. Deleted the flash, and copied file again.

2. Reset the router to factory default by erasing all config.

3. verified the flash file shown below.

hi,

you'll need to remove the c2600-j1s3-mz.123-26.bin IOS from the boot sequence, i.e. using the no boot system flash:c2600-j1s3-mz.123-26.bin

 

Hi

The no boot system flash has fixed half the problem still getting below error, and than it works after second image decompression.
