[c-nsp] Failing to load IOS

[Joseph Mays]

> And what is the boot process stating?  i.e. when it is booting, does it try and load 124-13b and fail, or simply load 123-22?

I have been doing most of this work remote from the site, though I may travel to the site and reboot with a plug into the console port to answer this question.

Again, I haven't gotten much chance to see what the ROMMON thinks, as this is a production system in a remote facility. I do note however that we have two other 7200's that load IOS fine from disk0, but your question led me to look at the Boot info.

The other two are running --

ROM: System Bootstrap, Version 12.2(1r) [dchih 1r], RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
BOOTLDR: 7200 Software (C7200-BOOT-M), Version 12.0(24)S, EARLY DEPLOYMENT RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

The system that won't load 12.4 from disk0: is --

ROM: System Bootstrap, Version 12.1(20000710:044039) [nlaw-121E_npeb 117], DEVELOPMENT SOFTWARE
BOOTLDR: 7200 Software (C7200-IS-M), Version 12.3(22), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)

I tried verifying the file as suggested. 

gw1.armplc#verify disk1:c7200-is-mz.124-13b.bin
%Filesystem does not support verify operations
