Dear Usama,

                    Paste me show version & Show falsh from your running device . Few other things to be looked up on as below

                  Where is your IOS is stored on flash card ?? . Do you have console access to your router ?? . if you have console access to you router after powering on check for all system message which is popping up on your console window . Check whether your flash get intialised properly or it get stuck in middle .

              Check for your RAM capactiy ,do you proper have RAM capacity on your router hardware to run your IOS code .You should get notfication message before your router gets into your ROMMON Mode .

Dear Usama,

                   Cisco Document says there is power issue , when you get this message on show version

System returned to ROM by power-on,

kindly check by executing "show environment" to ensure Power Source is normal .

show environment

show flash:

    If your power source is normal , collect show technical-support and let us on this.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1831/products_tech_note09186a008010876d.shtml#power

Power-On

If the show version command output shows restarted by reload or System returned to ROM by power-on, you can infer that the router was either power-cycled, or that the power source went down for a few seconds. Verify your power source and troubleshoot the outlet circuit (power to router).

If you think this problem affects your router, (after you make sure that the power source is not the issue), collect a show tech-support report, and contact your Cisco technical support representative.

Reload

If the show version command output shows restarted by reload or system returned to ROM by reload, you can infer that a user rebooted the router manually with the reload command. This is not a system crash.

Reserved Exception

For this type of crash, a reload occurs in order to ensure that the router does not transmit corrupt data. The cause can be either hardware-related or software-related (see the Troubleshoot section).

Restarted By Error

Unless the error clearly points to a hardware problem (see the Troubleshoot section), contact your Cisco technical support representative.

Sigtrap (Signal Trap) Exception

This is usually a software problem, and is another way to report a Software-forced Crash.

Undefined Trap

Unless circumstances clearly indicate a hardware problem (see the Troubleshoot section), contact your Cisco technical support representative.

Unexpected Hardware Interrupt

A hardware problem normally causes this type of crash (see the Troubleshoot section).

Unknown Failure

Unless circumstances clearly indicate a hardware problem (see the Troubleshoot section), contact your Cisco technical support representative.

Unknown Reload Cause

Here, the defect that caused the crash does not allow the router to record the reload reason. This issue can be related to hardware or software. Unless circumstances clearly indicate a hardware problem (see the Troubleshoot section), contact your Cisco technical support representative.

Ok, console into the router and reboot the router.

I want to see the entire bootup process including the event where the router will only boot into ROMmon until human intervention.

[usamakhella]

this is the Bootup monitor

Proceed with reload? [confirm]
