Hi ,

Try "boot"

Did you change the config-register or delete a file?

Try boot bootflash: to see if it will continue to load.  If you use 0x2102 for the register then you must have a boot statement  pointing to the image .

The Configuration registry showed 0 and 40 at next reload.  Is this the reason for the bootup in rmon?

boot bootflash: started the switch without the startup.  I did a copy  start run to restore service.  The config-registry showed 0 and 40 at  next reload.  I changed it to 2102.  I'll reload after hours to verify  it boots up ok.  Any ideas why my registry would show 0 and 40 at next  reload?  Other than someone manually changing it...

Here is my boot statement:

boot system bootflash:/cat4500e-ipbasek9-mz.122-53.SG1.bin

Here is the dir:

  Get rid of the forward slash /   that is right before the imagename , not supposed to be there and may keep it from booting. Besides that it looks good and should boot ok once that is removed.
