Hello,
i have recently tried to change the catos on a Catalyst 2948G-L3 and since then i have the following message in a loop :
loadprog: bad file magic number: 0x0
boot: cannot load "bootflash:"
rommon: cold reset frame @0x0000000
rommon: reading reset reason register
rommon: valid nvram config
system bootstrap, version 12.0(7)w5(15a) release software

rommon: initializing exceptions
rommon: initializing TLB
rommon: Initializing cache
rommon: Sizing and zeroing main memory ... 64 MBytes
rommon: Sizing non-volalite memory ... 128 KBytes
loadprog: bad file magic number: 0x0
boot: cannot load "bootflash:"
.........
I know that the solution would be to download a new valid image from tftp via the rommon prompt but what i dont undertand is why i cant access the rommon prompt.
Do you have an idea ?

This could mean one of two things:
1. The CatOS you uploaded is corrupt; or
2. The flash has failed.

i figured that reading forums but is there anyway to resolve that problem without being able to use the rommon prompt ?

No one got any idea on why i cant have the rommon prompt to recover an image ?

Hello Damien,
It might help to post in Home > Netpro > Network Infrastructure > WAN, Routing and Switching . As this section is for small business devices and the 2948 is handled by enterprise support.
