u must have upgraded PIX from ROMMON. in case of this upgrade, the image is acutally not copied onto flash...follow the below given steps... 1. connect a computer tht servers as the TFTP server to the PIX using a crsoss-cable... 2. reload pix; press Esc key to go into ROMMON 3. int 1 // initialize inside interface addr 172.16.4.99 //PIX IP address server 172.16.4.212 // TFTP server address file pix721.bin tftp 4. Installation begins; Will auto reload when thru. (Actual image is not yet copied onto PIX, just image is loaded and configured) Back to # prompt conf t copy tftp flash provide the details to copy the PIX image onto flash boot system flash:/pix721.bin 5.now copy ASDM image onto PIX if u want to upgrade ASDM as well. copy tftp flash // asdm521.bin Ready Steady Go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the first time u perform step 3 : int 1 // initialize inside interface addr 172.16.4.99 //PIX IP address server 172.16.4.212 // TFTP server address file pix721.bin tftp PIX will auto-reload and you will get the # prompt. This happens only for the first auto-reboot. If you reboot the PIX after tht, you'll get the error "No bootable image in flash. Please download an image from a network server in the monitor mode Failed to find an image to boot" So perform steps 1-5 again and this should help u out !!...and le me know if it works ..i had the same problem a month back whn i upgraded...
u doing something wrong while performing the steps....i have done this multiple times and i know it works the way i have mentioned..... press the ESC key to move into ROMMON before it auto reboots .... can u post here the capture of hyperterminal, starting frm moving into ROMMON , then performing all the 5 steps (or probably 1-4 steps)..also do a ping on your TFTP server from the PIX to determine proper connectivity..u can add one more command "gateway 172.16.4.212" in step 3 if u r unable to ping the TFTP server hope u know how to do a capture frm hyperterminal...le me knw if any further help is required...
