[c-nsp] Error loading IOS onto Cisco2821

[Robert D. Holtz - Lists]

Make sure you are directly connected to router via a cross-over cable to
eliminate and network latencies.

You  may need to reload the IOS via the console port ... I recall that
ROMMON mode is very restrictive inre: loading images.  Make sure you set
your console port to 38,400 baud and use the Y-Modem transfer method.  This
will take some time but it does work.

I think you may also need to compress your flash if you've erased some
images.

It's also good to get into the habit of using FTP instead of TFTP to load
images due to the file size limitations imposed by TFTP and the steady
growth of Cisco IOS images.

Hi all,

I erased the flash and rebooted the router after reset I tried load the IOS
in rommon mode, unfortunately the load didn't complete, I tried again and
failed again, I thought tftp failure because I get TFTP timeout:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..!!!!.!!!!.!!!!.!!!.!.
!!.!..!.!!.!!.!..!!..................
[TIMED OUT]
TFTP: Operation terminated.

After that I think that my flash memory is incorrect, how can I know if my
flash is working well, or maybe is not working anymore!?

Thanks for your response...

PD. At this moment, my router is in rommon mode, and I don't know
troubleshooting my flash...
