Try to follow the instructions on my RouterChief site (see link below). It
should be the same, except that I went from 4MB to 8MB with two 4MB modules.

Subject: Flash memory issues [7:17561]
I have a 2514 set up in my home lab that is having memory problems. It
currently reports the following errors on boot up:
%Error: System flash bank 0 chip 2 unknown, chip id 0xB36 (reversed =
0xD06C)
%Error: System flash initialization failed
F3: 6218292+86976+534512 at 0x3000060
However, it boots to the image stored on the flash. ( 12.04T)
My goal is to upgrade the flash to 16MB so I can run some of the larger
Enterprise images on the router. I know that one method is to install 2 8MB
flash simms. But, when I try to erase the 8MB flash that is currently
installed I get an error that it is read-only. I've also attempted to erase
flash from rommon mode, but the command is not available. I've worked in
Rommon before on other Cisco devices, but am not familiar with the > prompt.
I've attempted to set the Boot var to ROM with no luck. Currently I'm net
booting to a 12.2 IOS version, but I really need to configure it to boot to
flash for Enterprise IOS images.
Following is the output of the Show Version command:
2500#show version

2 Serial network interface(s)
32K bytes of non-volatile configuration memory.

Configuration register is 0x2102
At this point I'm just looking for a quick fix to get to 16MB of flash. How
can I tell if the 8MB flash I've got is useable? I see a PCMCIA slot on hte
system board - can this be used to upgrade the flash? I've checked for a
write-protect jumper on the system board, but there isn't one. Is my
current
flash going to be reusable in upgrading? Do I need to upgrade boot roms?
These are the questions. If anybody can shed some light on this process,
I'd
appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance, Bob McIntire, CCNA
