[c-nsp] 3800 stuck in rommon

[Murphy, Jay, DOH]

As the previous threads have alluded to... it appears you may be requesting download of an image larger that your CF card storage
capacity... I would erase some files, and recoup headroom, by initiating a "squeeze" command. Secondly, I have embedded a link to point you through issues with Rommon prompts... cuz it is in depth to summarize, and I don’t want to abbreviate my own experiences...http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps214/products_tech_note09186a0080110ed1.shtml
There is, as you know, only so much NVRAM, on each router platform and what is available on CF. So, are you rebuilding your original configs, upgrading, or both? By the way, these use binary files, however, these IOS images are written for their respective platforms.

Subject: [c-nsp] 3800 stuck in rommon

I have a 3825 stuck in rommon, I am using a 2800 PCMCIA card in flash,
the original is missing, I have assumed filesystems are compatable and that
I
can use the 2800 PCMCIA. I setup a tftp server to download a new IOS image,
the download
starts with no problem, the image is transferring fine, then near the end I
get a timeout.

My questions:

1) Are the 2800 and 3800 using compatible filesystems?
2) How do I get a new IOS image on the PCMCIA, I do not have another 3800.

There are some old files on the card, I never get to the part where ROMMON
erases the flash.
Any help would be appreciated.
