This is telling you that "one" of the chips (chip 2) in bank 1 is bad.
Chip Bank Code Size Name
1 1 01AD 2048KB AMD 29F016
2 1 0000 2048KB Unknown Chip
3 1 01AD 2048KB AMD 29F016
4 1 01AD 2048KB AMD 29F016
See where all the other chips say AMD and the other one does not.
Don't worry about the rom issue that I told you about earlier.
Your "show version" output told me you are already running 11.x roms.
Two thing you can try - first try to reset the flash memory simm.
Maybe this will work but I doubt it. You could try to clean the
simms contacts (gently) to see if that will help.
Second - and the more likely solution is that you have a bad flash simm.
Hope this helps.
