John,
I agree that the 2500 series runs from flash, and there should be enough flash
to run the image. But once I broke into my router 0x42 and before configuring
and protocols did a show mem, I didn't have any space. I didn't have to toggle
the chips, in fact I placed the image on a 2501 and 2513 with similar specs and
the problem duplicated itself. I am now running the same image squeezed with no
problems at all.
The reason I knew it wasn't the chips was I didn't have any hardware problems
before I loaded the image. Just my solution to the same problem, by running fro
m
NVRAM, the problem hasn't re-surfaced. Thanks for your insight ;}
