Supervisors booting in rommon

[Federico Coto Fajardo]

Hi Community,

A little help on this one.
Have a 4507 with redundant supervisors.
Everytime the 4507 reboots, the supervisors boot in rommon.
It says cannot find the boot image.
If I type boot in rommon, then both supervisors boot fine and everything works.

System image file is "bootflash:cat4500e-ipbase-mz.122-53.SG2.bin"

I thought I just need this:
boot system flash cat4500e-ipbase-mz.122-53.SG2.bin
But again, after booting I enter rommon with this error:

config-register = 0x2102
Autobooting using BOOT variable specified file.....

Current BOOT file is --- cat4500e-ipbase-mz.122-53.SG2.bin
Invalid filename cat4500e-ipbase-mz.122-53.SG2.bin. It must begin with device n
ame.

When I try to specify the boot image I get this:

4507(config)#boot system flash ?
  WORD  System image filename
  <cr>

I put the filename cat4500e-ipbase-mz.122-53.SG2.bin but no joy.

Both supervisors are redundant in SSO mode.

Thank you!

Federico.

Federico,

You have to specify the file location in your boot string. Try using this instead:

boot system flash bootflash:cat4500e-ipbase-mz.122-53.SG2.bin

Mark,

Thank you for your response but I just tried that and same thing....

What else could it be?

Did you also remove your previous boot string? Is your IOS in a different location other  than bootflash?

What is the output of the following?

show run | inc boot

and

show boot

No problem.  Glad I was able to help! Those things can be over looked very easily.

Try this

boot system bootflash:cat4500e-ipbase-mz.122-53.sg2.bin
