Router Problem 2611/1760

well ......

Have you tried turning Smart Init off

first of all i dont know exactly what is that service of the router "Smart Init "  and i dont know whether is it on by default or off .... and  what command should be issued in order to use this service ....kindly write them for me ....

Do both routers boot 2x?

well i could not pick up the term.... but if you  mean to say Configuration Register value then that is set to 0x2102 .... and i can view that from

#sh ver  ...

Have they always done that?

well yes they always behave like this .....

i hope that will help you out to sort the problem ...

Regards
ASad

well here is the output of the command (#sh ver)  ....but i should tell you that a few days back the router was not behaving like this .....and now its booting twice ...which takes very obviously longer time then it was taking before ... and also there are no more interfaces attach with the router ....i hope that gives you some idea ...

Here is an example of a boot sequence from a 2600 router:

  You are showing 1/2 of processor board system flash and 1/2 bytes of usable memory (61440K/4096K bytes of memory vs.56320K/9216K bytes of memory.  You may have a failing Memory module that is creating this problem..I hope this helps..Booda2us
 

Here are some key points...

ROM: System Bootstrap, Version 11.3(2)XA4, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)     [boot image]
 
IOS (tm) C2600 Software (C2600-I-M), Version 12.2(5d), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)   [running image]

Check the headers of each step of your "booting twice" and see if the versions match.
If you have two versions in flash, and have multiple 'boot system' directives, it may be failing over to the 2nd image because of an error encountered in the first.

well i dont think so its does like that .... have checked the headers.... and one thing more that i erased my flash and then i took the both image one by one ...... i mean to say that by proving one IOS image and then other both works fine ... so that shows this the IOS i have is supported by the router otherwise it can generate the Error of INVLALID IOS IMAGE...... so i see some other problem .... well what else you can gues about the problem ......

Do they match or not?  If not, it's just a bootstrap first and real image second, and that's normal.
Also, can you post a "dir all-filesystems" ?

well look ..... now i have just one IOS in my router and thats is

/c2600-i-mz.122-5d.bin

and when i booted up my router i got the message

%SYS-6-READ_BOOTFILE_SKIP: boot system flash:/c2600-i-mz.122-5d.bin command is skipped

and again it goes to self decompressing the image ......

what can be the problem ....NOW I HAVE ONLY ONE IOS  

here is a output ....little garbage but if you see keenly ...you can check it out

if that clears you

here is the directory view

well certainly i have not downloaded some valid particular IOS....but i that looks me strange that at first that was working fine but now its behavior is  different...well i think what i do is that to load IOS from TFTP...and then see what happens ...
