Ruoter, C2621 constantly booting after checking a flash, which is empty/corrupted. I can't get to rommon because it does not respond for break command.
here is a sample:
Initializing main memory
Sizing NVRAM
Initializing PCI subsystem
Exiting init
C2600 platform with 49152 Kbytes of main memory

device does not contain a valid magic number
boot: cannot open "flash:"
boot: cannot determine first file name on device "flash:"

System Bootstrap, Version 11.3(2)XA4, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

TAC:Home:SW:IOS:Specials for info

Testing lower main memory - data equals address
Testing lower main memory - checkerboard
Testing lower main memory - inverse checkerboard
Clearing lower 4K memory for cache initialization
Clearing bss
Reading monitor variables from NVRAM
Enabling interrupts
Enabling instruction cache
Reading cookie
Initializing main memory......
Any ideas ? Cisco wont help, no support.

Why can't you get to the rommon? Just hit break real quickly a few times just as it starts booting. Then try and erase the flash and put some new code on there via TFTP or something.
