[c-nsp] Cisco 7206VXR

[Jason Berenson]

Sidney,

I already got the G1 replaced, it's working.  I have an NPE-400 in a VXR 
chassis that was running fine with 12.3.x until I put 12.4.19 on it.  It 
starts the boot process, shows the version of bootstrap (12.2.x) then 
shows the amount of memory (256M) then does this:

rommon>
rommon>

...

It keeps scrolling rommon as if I had the enter key depressed.  It even 
does this if I put a flash card in the controller card with JUST 12.3.x 
IOS on it.  I've tried a few different controller cards a few different 
console cables and a few different computers.  I'm running out of 
options.  I was told to try upgrading to 12.4.22 but that version isn't 
on cisco's site.  When I call them they insist I need a smartnet 
contract before I can speak to an engineer.  They won't provide the new 
IOS. 

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jason
