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

Subject: RSP7000 fails to break. 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!!
