Hi
I have an 887VA-K9 which boots into ROMMON mode every time.
It seems to have 3 tries at booting, then fails.
The entire console output from power-on is (blank lines removed):

At this point it will not accept, or at least will not echo back anything I type. Takes a while, then responds - I was too impatient!
Has anyone got any advice?
Thanks

See the following - I'd have expected the unit to boot at this point?
$$ dir flash:
Directory of flash:
2 28443564 -rw- c880data-universalk9-mz.150-1.M2.bin
$$ boot flash:c880data-universalk9-mz.150-1.M2.bin
monitor: command "ls" not found

I'm having this issue on a 1941, was this ever fixed?
05-10-2013 01:26 AM
That's all it does?

Yeah. I think I fixed it now.
Found that an alias had been set.
$$ alias
r=repeat
h=h
story=?
help=b
boot=ls
So unaliased it
$$ unalias boot
Let's try booting again:
$$ dir flash:
Directory of flash:
2 28443564 -rw- c880data-universalk9-mz.150-1.M2.bin
$$ boot flash:c880data-universalk9-mz.150-1.M2.bin
program load complete, entry point: 0x80020000, size: 0x1b2020c
Self decompressing the image :
#############################################...### [OK]
Wrong IOS image for the router
So - loaded a clean imaged over TFTP (tftpdnld)
Boots OK now.
Now I need to find out how it got like that :/
