WLC 2100 grub prompt load error

[Alejandro Cortes Rivera]

I load a new image to the wlc but when restar it take me to the grub prom, somebody know how to fix this?

This shows the screen:

Launching BootLoader...

[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB

lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible

completions of a device/filename. ]

grub>

grub>

Not sure if this helps, but I read this in the controller release notes:

CSCsd52483?When you make changes in the bootloader of a 2006 controller or a Controller Network Module, the bootup process may halt, and the controller may stop responding. The controller also displays the "grub>" prompt on the console port.

Workaround: Replace the controller.

I had the same issue, but found different solution. In my case, CF card inside 2106 came loose. In order to re-insert it, top cover has to be removed. It is fairly easy with 3 screws on the bottom of the unit.
