CSCdy14636 Bug Details - router may fail to boot from a ATA disk 

Release Notes
 
Symptoms: A router may fail to boot from an Advanced Technology
Attachment 
(ATA) disk.

Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco 12000 series Internet
router 
with boot ROM version 182. The situation occurs when the Cisco IOS
software is 
loaded from a 48-MB or a 128-MB ATA disk Personal Computer Memory Card 
International Association (PCMCIA) card. 
When this error occurs, an error message states "monlib does not contain
a 
valid magic number," and the router returns to the ROM monitor (ROMmon) 
prompt. This error occurs only when a router is booted from a 64-MB or
128-MB 
ATA disk PCMCIA card and does not occur on cards of other capacities or
linear 
Flash PCMCIA cards.

Workaround: Use a linear Flash PCMCIA card.

First Alternate Workaround: When you use an ATA disk, enable the 
boot system flash disk0: image command 
in the startup configuration.

Second Alternate Workaround: When you use an ATA disk, enable the 
flash keyword on the ROMmon prompt by entering the 
boot flash disk0: image command.

Third Alternate Workaround: Reformat the ATA disk from Cisco IOS Release
12.0
(22)S or Release 12.0(21)ST.
