I just did an IOS upgrade on a 3500 switch. After the uploading
completed I reload the switch, when the switch is coming up I get a
message that "Loading
"c3500XL-c3h2s-mz.120-5.WC2.bin"...c3500XL-c3h2s-mz.120-5.WC2.bin:
permission denied

Error loading "c3500XL-c3h2s-mz.120-5.WC2.bin"

Interrupt within 5 seconds to abort boot process.
Boot process failed... "

Why can I boot from the image?

Thank You

If you receive the error loading flash message, this indicates that there is
a problem loading the current image in Flash. The image may be corrupt, an
incorrect image, or the image in Flash may be missing. If the system is
unable to load a software image in Flash, the system loads the boot helper
and brings up a switch: prompt. Otherwise it is in a continuous boot cycle.
If the switch is stuck in a continuous boot cycle, use this procedure to
bring up a switch: prompt:

I followed what both section said to do. The only way that I am able to
boot the image is if I boot it manually by using the command
"boot flash:c3500xl-c3h2s-mz.120-5.WC11.bin". However, after I reload
the switch I have the same problem. What else can I do?


Thank You

So you have wrong boot string? Boot manually and conf t:
boot system flash:c3500xl-c3h2s-mz.120-5.WC11.bin (or something like that)
exit
write
reload

I've seen this a couple times.

Try resetting your boot strings in both the IOS boot configuration, as
well as in the bootstrap monitor once it bombs out. Make sure your
config register is correct.

Its a strange error indeed.
