trying to bring ipv6 to an older 6509 system (sup2/msfc2). it currently runs 12.1. 12.2 has v6 in it, but the image is too big to go into bootflash. so i grabbed some pcmcia cards and dropped the image on there. so far so good, but the failover sup2 has too old of a rommon on it (6.1(4)) and can't see disk0. luckily that is new enough that it can have new rommon flashed, but the 12.2 images i can get don't support disk0 either, which seems very odd to me. so i think that maybe it needs a boot loader. but even worse is that the 12.2 rommon thinks that bootflash is corrupt. i even tried xmodem'ing the boot image over, but as usually happens with xmodem, i never got it to fly.
so, i'm hoping someone here can provide one of the following: 1. old 7.1 rommon image i can flash 2. clue about why the newest 12.2 rommon doesn't see disk0 as a dev, and thinks bootflash is corrupt 3. a way to get cisco to stop making things so complicated :-) _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
