Cisco 3640 Router Hang problem

[SIAVASH KAZEMI]

Hi,

The Cisco 3600 series (3640) is hanged during booting proccess,

the IOS is decompressed, but after some text it hanges and I even cannot go to user exec.

I try the ROMmon and bypassing the config setting,

but the result is still the same.

any suggestion?

Regards

Do you see any error messages? Or is it hanging during the bootup process? Can you post a snippet of the console messages

it seems there is no error message:

Ok, finally after I remove the Ethernet module, the router loads normally.

just replace the ethernet module.

Hello,

   Currently I'm experiencing the same issue with Cisco WS-C4948-S

   I see the boot messages, also I can enter in rommon mode, but in the end it gets stuck at line

"Image text-base: 0x1000000, data-base: ..... "

  I tried many ways to boot it, but with no luck.

  s.kazemi, Which ethernet module did you removed ?

[SIAVASH KAZEMI]

Hi Tonny,

as I know the WS-C4948-S is catalyst switch, isn't it?

I'm afraid there is no module to remove on your device.

however please double check and see is there any module, fibre convertor you can remove or not.

my device (router 3640) has got one ethernet and one serial module. firstky I remove both, then plug them one by one.

after plugin th eserial, there was no issue.

only when plug in the ethernet module it was reboot continously.

by replaceing the module the problem was solve.

Good luck
