i run a similar problem a couple of months ago try this
install the 8mb flash simm that have the ios image you want to boot in the first flash bank and put the second flash simm in the second bank. delete any file that resides in the second flash simm ( i canīt remember now if once must delete , erase or delete & erase the second slot of flash file system) doing this you would end with a contigous 16 mb region of flash and from there you can do a copy tftp flash to upgrade the ios beyond 8mb hope it helps - cco has no info in this issue - the problem i notice is if your "new" 8mb flash has a file stored on it regard - Diego Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=50131&t=50013 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
