I have had the same porblems here - definately IOS related. All though I have to manually erase the flash first, it works fine on the routers where the flash is stored in DRAM - haven't ried it on a 2500.
This is fixed is ver 12.2 IOS.

I'm more concerned that a technique that I've used successfully many times on these routers suddenly stops working. This is a "by the book" technique that I haven't had problems with before, and is supposed to work. Given that I have better things to do ( going to the config(boot) mode and working through is pretty time consuming ) The fact that neither RSL or the manual process works correctly tells me this might have more serious ramifications So thanks for the suggestions. this one does work. But I think I'll make Cisco take some responsibility here. Folks will be back to work Tuesday and I'll get the inform I need to pursue this ticket.
