RE: 2501 IOS Flash! [7:50512]
Argh! Still can't get the IOS to copy from tftp to flash! In addition, here's what i got from #sh flash all command: System flash directory: No files in System flash [0 bytes used, 16777216 available, 16777216 total] 16384K bytes of System flash (Device not programmable) ChipBankCode Size Name 1 1 89A0 4096KBINTEL 28F016SA 2 1 89A0 4096KBINTEL 28F016SA 3 1 4096KBUnknown Chip 4 1 89A0 4096KBINTEL 28F016SA Are the chips still good? Whats the unknown chip and does it have any effect on the transfer?! Says READ-ONLY for the flash when copying, any idea/s on how to change that? Been through loads of documentation but still can't find the answer! Do hope someone can help...thanks!

Your flash is probably bad. I recently had a problem with some new flash and had to return it because half of it was uneraseable. I never found documentation or a solid answer for my error messages. All Flash chips on a stick should be identical (or at least detectable I guess).

Richard, You need to boot the 2501 router into RXBoot mode before you can Upgrade the IOS in Flash. Visit this CCO URL: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/130/sw_upgrade_proc_flash.shtml Here is probably the cause of your problem: -- Configure the router or access server to boot into Rxboot mode On these platforms, the Cisco IOS software image is actually running directly from the Flash memory. Therefore, you cannot copy the Cisco IOS software image from the TFTP server to the Flash if you are in user privileged EXEC mode (router#). You have to configure the router or access server to boot into Rxboot mode. Check the current value of the configuration register. You can see it on the bottom line of the show version output. It is usually set to 0x2102 or 0x102. You will need this value for a later step. Change the configuration register to the value 0x2101 as follows: Routerenable Password: password Router# Router#configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)#config-register 0x2101 Router(config)#^Z Router# %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console !--- It's not necessary to !--- save the configuration here, as the configuration register has already !--- been changed in NVRAM Router#reload Note: If you are connected through Telnet, the session is lost after the reload. Wait a few minutes and try again. It is strongly recommended that you do not perform a Cisco IOS software upgrade remotely since most disaster recovery procedures require you to be physically located where the router is installed. -- Good luck, Angel Leiva - MCSE, CCNP-RS, CCNP-WAN Senior Network Systems Consultant International Network Services Irving, TX -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 01, 2002 11:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: 2501 IOS Flash!

RE: 2501 IOS Flash! [7:50512]
AGGG !!! Back to the very first post... if this router somehow is booting with a run from FLASH IOS, you cannot upgrade it in normal operating mode. The 2500 started many many years ago, with run from RAM IOS. Run from RAM meant the FLASH is more of a repository for the compressed IOS code and the router could not function until the IOS image decompressed when loading into RAM. This was the case with 11.3, where routers were delivered with 8 FLASH and 16 RAM. Today- the 2500 is so processor and memory limited, that FLASH now works like a hard drive. What portion of the IOS code is needed is loaded into FLASH. That's why 12.1, which is about when these guys went EOL, started with 16 FLASH and 8 RAM setups. Try breaking the boot (Cntrl Break @ the boot up) and loading IOS from ROM (boot mode) and keep in mind this process will not work without 11.0(10c) boot ROMs. All the best !!!
