Hi,
This is a known problem. I'm getting this issue with some 64MB generic ATA
flash cards on the supervisor 2 modules as well. Cisco say it's due to a
timing incompatibility and their solution is to replace the card...
I find this is an intermittent issue. If you keep trying to boot (try a few
resets as well), it eventually boots (for me, at least) however this isn't
ideal for production.

Hi Charles, these cards was working on cisco 7200 routers. Just I think that
I can load a new image in one of these cards and boot from the rommon mode.
I can see both slots: slot0 and disk0 but I can't see the stored IOS because
the invalid magic number error.
Thanks again
David

Have those cards ever worked in that device? Can you do a 'dev' in ROMMON,
and see 'slot0' or 'disk0' listed? Can you do a 'dir' on that device
listed? I don't recognize that as a normal size flash card for a Sup2.

Is it a 64MB card? If so, use 'disk0' in place of 'slot0'.

Thanks a lot Charles for your response. I tried your suggestion but when I
boot from my slot0:IOS_IMAGE I have a bad file magic number error.
Do I missing anything in the Rommon configuration?
Rommon>boot slot0:IOS_IMAGE
Thanks again Charles.
David.

I think you can format the card (if it's the 64MB ATA card) in a PC running
Windows, use FAT16 filesystem. Copy the image to the card, and try to boot
it from ROMMON. Once running, you'll need to format the card in IOS (so the
MONLIB (kind of like a boot sector) is put on there). Then you can use
Windows to copy the file again to the card (but don't format it again,
obviously). Then I think it should auto-boot. If it's less than 64MB, I
don't think Windows can recognize it as a disk drive without special
drivers, which may or may not exist. Make sure your ROMMON version is
7.1(1) if it is a 64MB card, can't recognize it without.

Hi again, just one question. Is there a way to format the PCMCIA card from
another device (A router or a PC). It because I don't have any othr
supervisor2 to do this. It could be compatible?
Thanks for any suggestión.

You can boot a sup2 from TFTP in ROMMON

Subject: [c-nsp] Cat6500 sup2 boot from PCMCIA
Hi all, I have a Cat6500 x6k-sup2-2ge running an IOS software.
My problem is that I'm stuck in rommon mode after the IOS upgrade. Now I
have A PCMCIA and I want to boot the new IOS from the PCMCIA.
I cannot format the PCMCIA from the rommon mode.
How can I format the PCMCIA? The only way is format from the target
Catatalyst switch?
All these because I have an error about invalid magic number when I
insert the PCMCIA card into the Supervisor2 slot in rommon mode.
Please I need your help,
Thanks in advance.
David
