I am getting this message as when I am rebooting my switch:
"System_controller-3-reset: Resetting system controller due to excessive interrups environment checksum in NVRAM failed."

The switch prompt always come back to ROMMON mode.

It also has additional error message saying:
"System_controller-3-reset: Resetting system controller due to excessive interrups environment checksum in NVRAM failed."

It seems like NVRAM size is 0.

So How can I fix this problem? Is it a bad board (NVRAM)? Or do I just need to reset NVRAM? If so how can I reset NVRAM?

Thanks!

Sounds like RMA time . It is basically telling you it detects a major problem in nvram.
 
I was afraid you might say that.
I was hoping it is not hardware fault.
Thanks viper!
