1605r - stuck in boot, startup-config is empty

[Josh009]

Please bear with me, I'm new to cisco...

So, I have a 1605r, and in attempting to upgrade IOS to 12.2, I managed to lose the startup config. I've been crawling all over cisco.com looking for answers.

So far, i've got the ios image on the flash, but im stuck there. I'm guessing since the startup config in nvram is empty, i should put something in it....

Directory of nvram:/

1 -rw- 0 <no date> startup-config
2 ---- 0 <no date> private-config

Directory of system:/

2 dr-x 0 <no date> memory
1 -rw- 520 <no date> running-config

Check the config register and make sure it is set to 0x2102.

To check it do a 'show ver' and you should see it listed towards the bottom.

 

[Josh009]

conf reg was set at 0x2101. Changed to 0x2102, reloaded and got this:
I think this means that nvram contains no boot commands...

Press RETURN to get started!

This looks like a flash problem. You may have to format and reload the IOS you need.

 

[tschouten]

Sounds right to me, bad or no image in the flash.

Warning: flash:1 does not exist.

Would say you need to re-load the IOS onto your device.

 

[Josh009]

That did it.
I reloaded the flash, twice, but to no avail.
So, I downloaded the ios directly from cisco, copied it to flash, and it worked.


Thanks for your input!

Now that you say that I totaly missed this, sorry I could have saved you some grief.

Means the Image is corrupt the checksum for the image isn't correct so the image won't be loaded. I should have noticed that and told you, you are going to need a new image. Would have saved you some time!

Sorry I didn't catch that.
