Did you format the new flash? I've had issues with corruption adding flash while existing flash is still installed. Try to boot to rommon mode and format the flash. You should be able to do this with both sticks installed without too much problem. Then install IOS, build the config, etc.

I have upgraded the flash in a 3640 from the 8 Mb chip to a 16 Mb chip. I did this by installing the second, 16 Mb chip into slot 1 of the motherboard, leaving the original 8 Mb in slot 1, for a total of 24 Mb of flash memory. I then installed 12.1, which was the reason I needed to upgrade the flash. 12.1 went on without a hitch, but when the router was reloaded, it would run for about 30 minutes and then go into rommon mode. It did this repeatedly, so I removed the 8 Mb chip, installed the 16 Mb chip into slot 0, and then used xmodem to transfer 12.1 through the console, a painstaking two hour task. Now the file is on flash, but at reload the file is unable to decompress, returning these errors: Error: Uncompression of the image failed. invalid compressed data-format violated Error: zip decompress failed ***System received a software forced crash *** signal = 0x17, code = 0x7, context = 0x0 PC = 0x80008094, cause = 0x20, Status Reg = 0x3041f003 The crc checks are the same as displayed on the software centers web page. I have downloaded a new copy of the file and it still did not work. I put the original 8 Mb chip in slot 0 and removed the 16 Mb chip, reloaded a fresh 11.3 image, and received the same errors. What have I done??
