Dear all,
I just tried to upgrade my Cisco 2600XM router from 12.3-6 IOS to 12.4-25d IOS, but I was unable to start the router with this new IOS.
flash:c2600-ipbase-mz.123-6.bin (old IOS)
flash:/c2600-ipbasek9-mz.124-25d.bin (new IOS)

Output sh flash

I configured the boot settings using the following command;
boot system flash:/c2600-ipbasek9-mz.124-25d.bin
Maybe there is something i forget, usually an upgrade works like this, right?
Anyone any comments please?
Thanks in advance,
ps; very strange is also the fact that i couldn't configure the ip address 192.168.30.6/29 (255.255.255.248), but it is subnetted correctly. Looks like the router doesn't support VLSM, or something like that. Any support would be very helpfull.

Wim,
your boot command for a 2600 router should be :-
!
boot system flash c2600-ipbasek9-mz.124-25d.bin
!
Also ake sure you have:-
!
ip subnet-zero
!
In you config for VLSM
Regards,
Alex.

Is there a current boot statement in the config , if so you must remove it and add the new statement pointing to the new image. The new statement must be the first one listed as the router looks at them in order from the top to bottom in the config.
