asked on Boot process hangs on PIX 506E Firewall
I'm having trouble getting a PIX 506E firewall to boot. It will not boot past the display of the PCI table.
The console output is shown below between the ****begin**** and ***end*** markers
****Begin console output****
CISCO SYSTEMS PIX FIREWALL
Embedded BIOS Version 4.3.207 01/02/02 16:12:22.73
Compiled by morlee
32 MB RAM
PCI Device Table.
Bus Dev Func VendID DevID Class Irq
00 00 00 8086 7192 Host Bridge
00 07 00 8086 7110 ISA Bridge
00 07 01 8086 7111 IDE Controller
00 07 02 8086 7112 Serial Bus 9

00 0D 00 8086 1209 Ethernet 11
00 0E 00 8086 1209 Ethernet 10
****End console output****
Normally it should continue with messages like:
Cisco Secure PIX Firewall BIOS (4.2) #0: Mon Dec 31 08:34:35 PST 2001
Platform PIX-506E
System Flash=E28F640J3 @ 0xfff00000
Use BREAK or ESC to interrupt flash boot.
Use SPACE to begin flash boot immediately.
BUT THIS FIREWALL WILL NOT BOOT PAST THE PCI DEVICE TABLE. I never get the chance to "Use BREAK or ESC" - so can't even get to monitor mode (Yes I have tried)
Does anyone have any ideas on how to recover this device, or is it totally un-repairable?

Thanks mate - happy to award the points
I had the same problem with a PIX 515E and moving the jumper fixed the problem. Thanks,
Just worked for me as well. This fix literally saved me hours of work. Thanks.
