[cisco-voip] 7970 won't get new code...

[Pat Hayes]

You  might consider consulting the readme for 8.3.4sr1, the first note 
in the upgrade caveat section is:

"If you are currently running firmware earlier than 6.0(2) on a Cisco 
Unified IP Phone 7970G or 7971G-GE and want to upgrade to 8.0(x), you 
must first install an intervening 7.0(x) load to prevent upgrade 
failure. Cisco recommends using the most recent 7.0(3) load as the
intervening load to avoid lengthy upgrade times (see next item)."
