Some of the older board of C2500 series is more picky about the kind of
flash installed, and they will compain about it like what you have seen.
This might cause the router to crash. The reason why it cannot be
upgraded is for the same reason. The router did not recognize the flash,
thus cannot read/write it.
Hope this help...
