7500e Boot Failure

[Anonymous]

After moving one of my 7500e routers from one rack to another, the system no longer boots properly. I get the error messages listed below. Is there anything I can do to reset/clear the current configuration or any pieces I can try to reseat in order to correct this issue? The switch boots up, but the ports don't ever seem to even attempt to initialize.

Most likely a flash rom error. Try to swap the boot partitions and see if that works. If the switch is under maintenance call your vendor. They should fix that.

Is there documentation on how to swap them? I searched here, but didn't find anything that sounded quite right.

We had a mixup between my reseller and vendor on the last warranty payment, I guess. Until they get things straightened out, I'm stuck trying to get this running by myself. I hope to have it covered again soon, but I don't have my hopes too high.

Does anyone have any ideas how we might be able to swap the boot partitions? Could I possible copy a boot card from another switch?

you might want to break into the boot loader (via serial connection, hit Esc when it asks) and select alternate partition to boot from.
