sounds like you could be connected to the aux port instead of console??? those would be the symptoms anyway. If not, disregard...

Can I clear NVRAM [7:65265] I have an RSP7000 that fails to accept any of the break sequences from the Cisco site, i.e., TeraTerm (alt-b), HyperTerm (Ctrl-brk), and Break Emulation (1200 baud-spacebar). I reloaded the boot image, rearranged RAM. "sh ver" seems fine but it gives me a "No password set" error when I try to go into priv. exec mode. It does not show the boot sequence on the terminal console as it boots. I got this thing used and didn't check it thoroughly for a month because I primarily needed the CI for another chassis. Now I need this one and I can't get in. Is there a safe way to clear NVRAM? Can that NVRAM chip be pulled safely? I've never tried this particular surgery before. It's running a 12.1.3 early deployment image both for boot and for main IOS image. The Bootvar is set to this image for the Boot image and it doesn't seem to boot with a different image installed on the flash - I tried swapping flash from a different RSP7000. I haven't tried renaming my 12.2.7 flash to 12.1.3 yet, but that doesn't really seem to be the problem as it will boot, and I can access the regular unprivileged user command line. What is most puzzling is that none of the boot sequence is echoed to the terminal session. Not a single character until "Press Enter ...." Help!!
