 Posted: Thu Oct 25, 2007 12:52 pm Post subject: Bootflash recovery on a Cisco 4500 |
 |
|
Hi to everyone.
I've got a cisco 4500 without flash and bootflash and a pair of share flash
banks for cisco 4000 series (16mb each).
Now, i'd like to use one of these as bootflash for the 4500, so i need to
put the right image on the bootflash...
I've got a 4700 which is working with no problems, that's what i tried to do:
Removed all flash from the 4700 except the bootflash, placed a 16mb empty
bank on the machine, and copied the file c4500-boot-mz.122-31.bin from the
4700 bootflash on the empty flash (erasing it).
alas putting the newly flashed memory on the 4500 didn't work, from rommon i get this:
rommon 11 > b bootflash:
unknown flash device - mandev code = 0xbad0
cannot read flash info
getdevnum warning: device "boot flash" has size of zero
unknown flash device - mandev code = 0xbad0
cannot read flash info
getdevnum warning: device "boot flash" has size of zero
open: read error...requested 0x4 bytes, got 0xffffffff
trouble reading device magic number
boot: cannot open "bootflash:"
boot: cannot determine first file name on device "bootflash:"
Anyone got another idea about restoring the bootflash on my 4500?
Thanks,
Hkz

Ok, problem solved.
The idea of using the 4700 was good, but the 4500 rommon didn't support
the 16mb flashcard, so i placed the newly generated bootflash on the
cisco 4700, and the original one on the 4500... now they're both working.
