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

Download 17.6.4 into a USB thumb drive.
In ROMMON, do the following: boot usbflash0:IOS_filename.bin
11-09-2022 07:52 PM
Boot the firmware again using the USB flash drive.
After it successfully boots up, copy the firmware from the USB flash to the switch flash. Start the Install mode from there.

Looks for me BUG

In ROMMON, post the complete output to the command "set".

This is beginning to look like CSCvr95394. (Disregard the rc values.)
Console into the switch and boot. Post the entire boot-up/crash process so we can see what is really going on with the switch.
Get ready to download different firmware version, like 16.9.X or 16.12.8 or 17.6.4.

This is what happens when I boot from flash/USB
boot: attempting to boot from [flash:packages.conf]

What firmware is the switch booting now?

Yes, emergency-install and start from scratch.

Hi Leo,
I have the issue too, when booting on 16.12.07.
Issue came after firmware upgrade, switch always in boot loop with the following message
Already tried an ermgency-install, but no success. Will try tomorrow a boot from usb with another version, f.ex 16.12.08
