The hyperlink below describes my problem exactly. I have an older catalyst 1900 with a DB9 console port rather than the newer RJ45 connector. My rollover cable/DB9 connector won't work. I do get output when I go into the diagnostic console but not when the switch boots. Up until the point when I deleted my firmware I was getting the ATQ0H0 (see link below) garble only.
http://www.groupstudy.com/archives/cisco/200101/msg00790.html Too add insult to my injury I tried to upgrade the firmware and it failed. Now, sans any firmware on the switch, I can only get into the diagnostic console but when I try to download the new firmware via XModem it fails. I tried to make new DB9 null modem connectors per the Cisco web site (link in the URL above) but I get nothing when using them. I'm still using a rollover cable but have the pins on the DB9 connectors crossed over per Cisco's website. The body of the message (the part from David) above isn't readable (the formatting didn't get preserved in the post) so I can't try his recommendation. Can someone please help me out with some specific guidance? I could use it. Thanks.
