Hello,
I'm trying to boot from usbflash0 (IOS 17.3.5)and flash:packages.conf but having the below errors.
%PMAN-3-PROCHOLDDOWN: R0/0: The process cmand has been helddown (rc 134)
%PMAN-0-PROCFAILCRIT: R0/0: pvp: A critical process cmand has failed (rc 134)
%PMAN-3-RELOAD_RP: R0/0: pvp: Reloading: Switch will be reloaded

%PMAN-5-EXITACTION: F0/0: pvp: Process manager is exiting: reload fp action requested
%PMAN-5-EXITACTION: Rvp: Process manager is exiting: Critical process cmand fault on rp_0_0 (rc=134)
I have also tried an emergency-install which had come back as successful but I'm still seeing the above error

Hi Leo,
Thanks for your feedback !
Which version you suggest ? Do you know the most reliable version currently ?

Hi,
I saw that, but the last version that I can download on Cisco website is the version 16.12.8 ...

Go straight to 16.12.8.
There is a strong chance all the config of the switch will be completely wiped because I'd be recommending performing emergency-install to fix the issue.

Will try tomorrow morning with 16.12.8
Will try an emergency-install as you said, by chance I have a backup of the config !

Sure you try emergency recovery and if you get chance try upgrade and test before you go live.
