IR809 goes to Rommon when reloading after upgrade.

[gwijnants]

Hi all,

After upgrading from ir800-universalk9-mz.SPA.158-3.M4 to ir800-universalk9-mz.SPA.159-3.M9, each time I reload the router it gets stuck in rommon. When I do a powercycle it always boots normally.

Below is the message I see.

mount: /dev/flash: failed to setup loop device: No such file or directory
mount: /dev/bootstrap: failed to setup loop device: No such file or directory
mount: special device /dev/usb does not exist

rommon-1>

I do have this in the running config

boot-start-marker
boot system flash:ir800-universalk9-mz.SPA.159-3.M9
boot-end-marker

Maybe as additional info, I upgraded the software using following command

bundle install flash:ir800-universalk9-bundle.SPA.159-3.M9.bin rom-autoboot delete

Am I missing something

Best Regards,

Guy

Not what went wrong here, you are not able to recognise the Flash :

Try boot from USB stick, Format Flash and load the image to recovery.

Hi BB,

Thank you for your feedback. Can you explain to me that if we do a power cycle of the router we never have this issue, only when we restart the router using the reload command?

I would understand your explanation if the Flash seemed corrupt and needed a format. But the flash doesn't seem to be corrup as after a power cycle it does boot normally.

Thank you!

Best Regards,

Guy

RMA the router.

While in ROMMON, post the complete output to the command "set".
