ROMMON message
Little Background:
Router went down, when it booted up in ROMMON mode, IOS was gone from compact flash card. Had to call Cisco for a new image and we loaded it back up and restored an old config file. Everything seems fine. But I get this message from the console on boot up and I knew it wasn't there before:
Upgrade ROMMON initialized
program load complete, entry point: 0x80012000, size, 0xc0c0
Initializing ATA monitor library......
program load complete, entry point: 0x80012000, size, 0xc0c0
Initializing ATA monitor library......
program load complete, entry point: 0x80012000, size, 0x10adb0c
Self decompressing the image:
##########################
The configuration register is set to:
Configuration register is 0x2102
The router seems okay but acts funny at times. Should this be something i should be concerned about. Would this cause router to act weird (example, not be able to save vlan database info)?
Thanks in advance...

I don't see this ROMMON message on any of my other routers. Is this a normal message?
And with Vlans:
when I do a 'vlan database' command and enter some vlans.
I then issue 'sh vlans' , i get : 'No Virtual LANs configured.'
And i am using atleast three on that router.

You've probably got a slightly different firmware on the other routers.
VLAN database mode is being discontinued. Unless you have an older platform or IOS, it is recommended that you modify the VLANs in global config mode.

The above is the IOS 'unzipping' itself, and then loading, it is perfectly normal.

One person says its normal and to ignore, another says it not. Do I get a second on any of these positions?
That just looks like normal ROMMON status messages to me.
"not be able to save vlan database info"
Can you elaborate?
