[c-nsp] SUP2 boot problem

[Church, Charles]

I think you'll get that kind of behavior if the flash card was formatted under CatOS.  Get it booted into native IOS 12.2, then format the card under IOS, and re-copy the image to it.  If it's formatted correctly, you should see some monlib info listed mentioning version it was formatted under, etc.

Hello,

Im trying to upgrade an old SUP2.
I can boot 12.1.27 from bootflash: without problem.
When I do reload from IOS with 12.2.18 and boot from disk0: it will give 
the error below and stay i rommon. disk0: is a 64MB flash disk.



System Bootstrap, Version 7.1(1)
Copyright (c) 1994-2001 by cisco Systems, Inc.
c6k_sup2 processor with 262144 Kbytes of main memory

Autoboot executing command: "boot 
disk0:s222-adventerprisek9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF6.bin"
Command error complete on disk0:
open: read error...requested 0x4 bytes, got 0xffffffff
trouble reading device magic number
loadprog: error - on file open
boot: cannot load "disk0:s222-adventerprisek9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF6.bin"
Exit at the end of BOOT string
rommon 1 >



When I do "reset" from rommon the SUP2 boots OK from the flash disk with 
12.2.18. But not with reload inside IOS again. Any idea what can cause 
this?
