Catalyst 4510r+e keeps booting into ROMmon

PeyLawro
Level 1
Level 1

Afternoon all,

We have a Catalyst 4510r+e that in November we was going to tweak the config so we can use at another site, which at the time booted up fine as we tested this as it has been sat there for a good few years (before my time here).... a few months later this now doesn't happen and it boots into ROMmon.

we never changed anything when testing in November that we are sure of.

here is what putty is spitting out at me when using console cable

 >...Current BOOT file is --- flashboot:cat4500e.SPA.03.02.08.SG.150-2.SG8.bin
Invalid filename flashboot:cat4500e.SPA.03.02.08.SG.150-2.SG8.bin. It must begin with device name.
       - It looks like an incorrect image is specified for booting , this flashboot string should probably on refer to flash: or bootflash:
