davidensc · ‎02-19-2005

I have a cisco 2610 with 64MB of ram and 16MB of flash

When I try to copy "c2600-ik9o3s3-mz.123-13.bin" in flash, I get the follow message: (Not enough space on device)

but at www.memoryx.com I found only 16MB flash!!!

Hi,

Will you please issue the command "erase flash" first. This should give you back 16777216 bytes of your flash. Then you can continue with the "copy tftp flash" and you should be O.K. with the new image file.

Try to keep your box with power until finished otherwise you would go via rommon commands.

Good luck.

Best regards,

Antonin

Hi Davide,

The file you are trying to get into flash has got the size of 16 283 856 bytes and your flash has only 16 252 924 bytes total which is why it cannot fit.

My quick math says however that 16MB flash should have 16 772 216 bytes, so yours is not displaying full space.

Will you please try "show flash:" command with the parameter "all". The chance is that you have some invalid (in error) file which occupies the rest (not displayed under basic show flash command). If you do not see anything suspicious, can you please post the output.

Best regards,

Antonin

Hi,

The flash sizing calculation seems be wrong. To my experience it may be software bug or flash problem (I can remember somewhat similar problem with AMD flash). It can be anything else which I have not experienced so far, of course. Unfortunately you cannot re-format class B flash.

I can spare some time and check & test for you when I am back at my office which is Monday afternoon earliest.

Best regards,

Antonin

Hi,

This looks like an IOS version isuue.

I have checked two procedures how to overcome this problem in my office lab using the box you have, the flash type and size you have and the IOS files you have. These are as follows (before you go any further please save your config):

1) Using rommon - parameters need to be set and tftpdnld command issued - it works OK, the point is that it is quite time consuming and your box is out of service during the procedure.

2) 2-step process: I copied a small basic IOS file (IP only) of previous version into flash (I tried with c2600-i-mz.121-26), reloaded the box and copied the intended file (c2600-ik9o3s3-mz.123-13.bin) without a problem. Your original config may need to be restored here.

I hope this can help.

Before you proceed please be aware that your box is currently without an IOS image in flash.

Best regards,

Antonin
