Make sure you have a proper (non corrupt 2600) image. I would download the
smallest valid image for the 2611 to get started. Download a 12.0 IP only
image. TFTP this image into the flash and then boot to it. From there you
can upgrade easily to the newest 12.2 image. You should not have to format
the flash, and the error that you are seeing is usually from a corrupt file
or you may wish to try a different TFTP program. I have seen different
programs work better than others. Give the 3CDeamon a try!

Subject: 2611 Flash image install
Hi,
I just bought a 16MB Flash memory and I am trying to install an IOS
image on it. However when I put in the memory and turn the 2611 on, it
gives me the following error:
device does not contain a valid magic number
boot: cannot open "flash:"
boot: cannot determine first file name on device "flash:"
I looked up cco, which says it is because "The Flash is empty or the
filesystem is corrupted". The solution is to copy a valid image to it.
The problem is that I cannot get to router (boot)> mode, I cannot format
the flash memory, and I tried the "tftpdnld" in rommon > mode, it copied
the file ok, but has a "bad checksum comparison" error. (I guess I have
to format the flash), so how can I get the image into Flash?
Thanks for your help.
Roger
