Hi TJ,
Robert here.
A config error may have been due to a number of commands in the
startup-config that are no longer valid under the new IOS. It could be more
serious, but since the error wasn't mentioned, it's hard to say. I suspect
that your modem is booting under config-register 0x2101 which would cause it
to "(boot)" as your modem is doing.
Do this to see if it helps:
router(boot)>enable
router(boot)#config term
router(boot)(config)#conf 0x2102
router(boot)(config)#exit
router(boot)#reload
Allow the unit to reload and see if it comes up under the new IOS.
If it does, consider doing the following:
By the looks of the config, it appears that an attempt was being made
(perhads by the previous owner) to make this unit act as a router instead of
the default DOCSIS cable modem (bridge mode). I would suggest losing this
config as it won't be functional anyway under the newer IOS. It's usually
best to make sure that the modem works in default DOCSIS bridging mode first
anyway.
To get back to a default config, go back into config mode
router>config term
router#write erase
rouer#reload
Let the modem reboot and see if your connectivity to the Internet is
restored.
To use the 924 in router mode, I think you'll need to get a different IOS
image as 12.2(10b) has been reported to have serious problems with the
'cable-modem dhcp-proxy'. 12.2.(7b) works as well as most other revisions.
The following is a working config for routing, NAT and local DHCP services
