Hi guys n gal's

The issue I am having is that after we received one of the 2611's it
did not want to load and gave this message in a loop.


open: file "n" not found
open(): Open Error = -1
loadprog: error - on file open
boot: cannot load "flash:n"

I tried reloading IOS and I still got the same message. Do ya'll think
its an hardware issue?

Sam,

Looks like you have corrupted BOOT variable. It's trying to foot the file
"n" instead of a standard file name. You should break the boot process (send
a "Break" signal from your terminal), get into the ROM-MONITOR, and issue
the command "boot bootflash:". Then, when router booted up, check running
config for "boot" configuration (do "show run | inc boot"), remove it from
the config (conf t, no <line from the config>), and insert a new correct
BOOT variable ("dir" to see a file in bootflash, then "conf t", "boot sys
flash bootflash<file name>", then exit and do "wr mem").

Good luck,

Mike

Thanks again
Well i am trying to do what your telling me and I did and it booted up
and I am trying to get into enable mode so I can do a conf t but it
has a password now. I think that my IOS is corrupted. Everytime I try
to do a command this is what I get for examples if I do reload
command

oh01rtr4>reload
Translating "reload"...domain server (172.17.16.120)

and if I shut it off and turn it back on I get back to the loop
messages.

Sam,

"Reload" command (as many other "configuration" commands available in
PRIVILEGE mode only. You have to do "enable" command, and then enter the
router's password. After that you will be able to do a configuration
changes, save config, and reboot the router.

Good luck,

Mike

If you dont know the enable password then here is the link to follow
the password recovery procedure. It will allow you to change the
password. I make the assumption you still have physical access to the
console.
