Hello All, I have run into a baffling wall and after 4 days or tinkering and reading online I am turning to you hoping that you might be of assistance. I have a Cat6509 w/ SUP2/MSFC2 that I converted from Hybrid mode to Native mode following these instructions to the letter:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps708/products_tech_note 09186a008015bfa6.shtml I reloaded the switch a couple of times and even turned off/on the power briefly to make sure all settings took. Everything seemed to work great. I then turned it off for a day and when I turned it back on it booted through the SP OK but when starting to boot the RP I get this, "Warning: Rommon NVRAM area is corrupted" and it goes to ROMMON mode. I then added the bootvars again and made sure the register was at 0x2102 and reset the switch. It loaded through... While in IOS I went ahead and did and "erase nvram" to format and start over. I then redid the bootvars, did a "remote command switch show boot" to ensure the SP bootvars were OK and reloaded the switch. It loaded all the way through and the bootvars were intact. So I turn it off and let it sit for 10 min, fire it up and again I get the same error, "Warning: Rommon NVRAM area is corrupted" and it goes to ROMMON mode. I do this for about 2 days. I then proceeded to upgrade the image and the ROMMON, redid the config, turned off the switch, waited 10 min and it still didn't take. If you have any thoughts I would greatly appreciate hearing them. Thanks so much for your time and have a great weekend! Image: 12.2(18)SXF14 ROMMON: 12.2(17r)S5 P.S. There is only one SUP in the chassis and this happens on 2 separate sup engines. Kind Regards, Ronen Isaac Continental Computers 920 N.
