This might be a stupid question, but are you sure you have the right
bootrom's for your 2501?

I checked it more than twice. Even had the book out just to make sure, I
tried two other chips that I had received today as well.

I don't think I fried the router, the old chips still work just fine, they
are just too old to "recognize" the IOS I want to use. I know it should
be very easy, that is what is bothering me. I doubt they could have sent
me two sets of bad roms. I am going to try the new ones in some other
routers I have to make sure. This is a pretty old router, but it should
still work.
