Problem
I love GNS3, it is a brilliant piece of software, I use it for bench testing and proof of concept work. Yes is can be a bit clunky sometimes, but it’s FREE! I had a project open with about four ASA’s on it, and it would not save the config on just one of them.
[box]
HostName(config)# copy running-config startup-config
Source filename [running-config]?
Cryptochecksum: fdf42190 76959bba 05a6a3d6 3f900005

Solution
At first I simply deleted the ASA and added a new one, which annoyingly did the same. Then I read a post that said, do the following;
1. Open the configuration for the affected ASA.
2. Change the NIC Model to pcnet > Apply > OK > Stop the firewall > Start the Firewall.
HOWEVER, in my case the problem persisted, I eventually fixed it by formatting the virtual ASA’s flash drive.
3. Execute the following command;
[box]
HostName# format flash Format operation may take a while. Continue? [confirm] Format operation will destroy all data in "flash:". Continue? [confirm]{Enter} Initializing partition - hda: hda1 done! mkdosfs 2.11 (12 Mar 2005) System tables written to disk Format of disk0 complete HostName#
[/box]
4. Power off, then power on the firewall, problem fixed.
