Can’t save config on Cisco 1811 – Loads default config everytime

[ingram]

#155373

I have a Cisco 1811 that I can’t get the configuration to save on. If I make any changes to the configuration and then run the commands “copy run start” or “write memory”, after I restart the router it loads a default config file with basically nothing in it. Here is the message that is displayed when I restart it:
Router#reload
Proceed with reload? [confirm]

The only thing that stands out is the line that says “Readonly ROMMON initialized”, but I’m not sure what that means. Any help would be appreciated.[CODE]Router#reload
