Startup-config...not starting?? 1

[snootalope]

Hello

I'm testing a new IOS on one of my spare routers, a 1751-v, and I'm having an issue with the config file it's loading with.

I got the new IOS on the router, used the "boot system flash:12.3.16v.bin" and run through the management stuff. Hostname, interface's, acl's, lines, bla bla bla. I finish up and use the "copy run start" command. then, use the "write mem" command.

When the router reloads, I get the "decompressing image#################....." again and it looks like it's the first time i've turned it on. I do a "show run" and all my info is gone. Yet, when I do a "show start" all the info I put in is in there. Did I miss something here??

I'm begining to think the nvram is to blame, but why would it show my correct config in the startup-config and not use it?

thanks!

Sounds like your configuration register is set to by-pass the startup-config file.

do a show ver and check the bottom, it's most likely set to 0x2142

from global configuration run the command
Router(config)#config-register 0x2102
Router(config)#exit
Router#reload

give this a try
