Snippet below is from:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps5023/product_bulletin_c25-639468.html
Question: Will IOS c3750-ipbasek9-mz.122-55.SE4.bin boot/load and function correctly on a 3750v2-24FS?
Based on the snippet below, I suspect not.
When I booted up the device, I saw in the startup/boot process that the IOS checked to see if the bootldr had to be upgraded (did not need to be upgraded). Device shipped with c3750-ipbasek0-mz.122-55.EY.bin
Thank you.

Oh nuts. I did NOT see the "FS"!
You'll need to run a minimum of 12.2(55)SE5 to be able to get the FS to work.
My sincerest apologies.

12.2(55)SE4 will work on a 3750v2.

WS-3750V2-24FS | 24 SFP module slots and 2 SFP module slots | Cisco IOS Release 12.2(55)SE5 |
With c3750-ipbasek9-mz.122-55.SE4.bin, WS-3750V2-24FS generates a hardware and firmware incompatible message; device endlessly tries to reboot.
Once 12.2(55)SE5.bin or the preloaded EY.bin is restored, WS-3750V2-24FS boots correctly.

Not a problem. First FS I've had an opportunity to work with and shipped with the latest IOS EY.bin
06-14-2012 09:17 PM
"EY" IOS????
Wow! I've never seen that before!
Thanks for the ratings.

Thank you leolaohoo.

This is a 3750v2-24FS, that is, with the optional SFP modules.
I get an error message stating “Firmware is incompatible with IOS”.
I get the flash_init to load at the ROMMON prompt but not the load_helper.
Thank you.
