Hi,
Having some strange problem with some new 8MB Flash modules for my
2500's.
I can not seem to write to them in any way. This chips are recognized by the router, but when trying to copy an image on to them there is an error:
%Error: System flash write protected
Note: I'm doing this from "boot"-mode, where the modules are recognized as read/write. I have the same problem with all these new modules I've got and I've tried them on different routers with the
same result.. I have upgraded the boot roms to the latest version aswell.
When using an older module in slot 0 and one of these new ones in Slot 1 the tftp-transfer aborts when accessing the second modules (that is when the transfer reaches above 8MB)with the same error. Also tried with other images - same result.
Please advise - see console output below. Note the write errors.
Any clues - one bad module wouldn't be so strange - but all of them......???
Thanks
/Johan
