Swapped the 4500M ROMMON (V5.3(16)) with identical ROMMON in my 4700M; now
the 4500M boots beautifully; but the 4700M hangs in same place. Problem
isolated to the ROMMON chip.
Does anyone know where can I purchase a ROMMON chip for 4500M/4700M? This
is my home-lab so I don't have a service contract with cisco. Thanks.
Kym
