Did you check to make sure you had adequate hardware memory requirements before upgrading ? That new version is a lot bigger than the one you are replacing . Newer images like sxf7 do not require a bootloader image .

Please paste the "show version" from the switch If you have.
I hope that you have checked these requirements:
Supervisor Engine 2 with PFC2:
?ROMMON version 7.1(1) or later
?32-MB bootflash device
?256-MB DRAM (minimum)
Multilayer Switch Feature Card 2 (MSFC2) with 256-MB DRAM (minimum)
Note
?Some Supervisor Engine 2 Release 12.2SX images are larger than the bootflash device. Supervisor Engine 2 ROMMON version 7.1(1) or later supports the MEM-C6K-ATA-1-64M= (64 MB) PCMCIA ATA FlashDisk device. See this publication:

?To use WS-X6K-S2-MSFC2 with 12.2SX releases, upgrade the memory.
?MSFC2 DRAM?See this publication:
