Hi Akaradeth,
With the given flash details, my 12.1Ios is loading. But the problem is when
i try to upgrade it to IOS 12.2.
The boot flash command is still the same pointing to the 12.2 IOS as shown
in the output i copied here. This was done when I had a 12.2 IOS installed.
But inspite of giving the boot command pointing to the IOS 12.2 , it did not
load the IOS. It said " Error loading IOS...". And it reverted to the
12.1IOS which is also there in the flash.
regards
shamin
