It looks like the c2500 image you have is a
relocatable image, and the 4000 doesn't support
relocatable images. A relocatable image is one that
can be a different file # on flash. A non-relocatable
image has to be file 1. The 4500 is newer then the
4000 so may support relocatable images; this may be a
bootloader/bootrom version issue as well. cisco.com
will have the info though.

I know when you do a copy tftp on cisco, Pumpkin TFTP
server reports 2-3 aborted transfers before the full
tftp download. This may mean that IOS is checking the
image name or just grabbing the first few bytes of the
file to look at the headers, etc to see if its a valid
image for that router. You can try renaming the image,
etc but I'm not sure what IOS looks at exactly.
