Hi there,
I had once de-attached the flash from Cisco 1841 by my mistake when it was being booted. Then, I booted it up again but it stopped reading hardware info, as follows:

Normally, the following lines would have then been shown:
=============
Cisco 1841 (revision 6.0) with 114688K/16384K bytes of memory.
Processor board ID FHK11041226
2 FastEthernet interfaces
1 Serial(sync/async) interface
DRAM configuration is 64 bits wide with parity disabled.
191K bytes of NVRAM.
31360K bytes of ATA CompactFlash (Read/Write)
=============
I tried to swap the flash from "another" Cisco 1841, the "fault" Cisco 1841 was still with the same symptom. The "another" Cisco 1841 worked fine.
I tried to short all jumpers one-by-one on motherboard, and to de-attach all cards from slots and boot it up again but no help.
Any idea?
