Elmer,
I've seen your exact problem before and just upgraded the bootroms to fix
the issue. Your bootrom version 5.2(5) is a little old (5 + 5.2(5) = 10.2(5)
bootrom version) and may not support the particular 8 meg flash chip you are
trying to install. Certain vendor's (i.e. Intel) 8 meg flash chips are
supported in that version bootrom but some aren't (i.e. AMD). Check out
www.cisco.com/warp/public/471/30.shtml .
If you need to know how to get the bootroms and upgrade them just e-mail me
back. It won't be the first time an old Coast Guardsman had to help out the
Navy ;-)
Good Luck!
