Products Affected

Problem Description

CSCed64930 - Issue #1:

The following message will be exhibited during bootup when using Cisco/Toshiba 64MB Compact Flash in a Route Switch Controller (RSC):

*Mar 1 00:00:01.287: Compact Flash: Soft Reset Failed. Device Busy Status_cmd = 80!!

The reason for this error message is that the Cisco/Toshiba 64MB Compact Flash requires more time to become ready after initialization.

NOTE: This is just an warning message. It doesn't have any impact on functionality. The RSC still can use this device without any problem.

Condition:

This issue is seen with the AS5850 RSC.

CSCdz29466 - Issue #2:

Symptom:

The following message is displayed even when the RSC is using 64MB Compact Flash:

32768K bytes of Compact Flash card at slot 0 (Sector size 128K).

This is because the size of the Compact Flash is hardcoded to32MB. This is incorrect information. It does not have any impact on the functionality.

Condition:

This issue is seen with the AS5850 RSC.

Background

While testing the Toshiba/Cisco 64MB Compact Flash on the AS5850-RSC, these error/warning messages were found. Neither issue will impact functionality of the Compact Flash or the system. Both issues have fixes that will be intergrated into future IOS images.

Problem Symptoms

1. CSCed64930 - Increase maximum timeout value for Toshiba/Cisco Compact Flash

   Symptom:

   The following message will appear on bootup when using Cisco/Toshiba 64Mega Compact Flash in an RSC:

   Compact Flash: Soft Reset Failed. Device Busy Status_cmd = 80!!

   NOTE: This is just a warning message. The RSC still can use this device without any problem.

2. CSCdz29466 - Incorrect Compact Flash size in show version output

   Symptom:

   The show version command displays the Compact Flash size as 32MB even though a 64MB Compact Flash card is installed. However, the dir disk0: command and SNMP query will report correct information to the user.

   AS5850# show version

   ....32768K bytes of Compact Flash card at slot 0 (Sector size 128K).

Workaround/Solution
