Hi,

I've just installed two 16 MB flash modules in one of my Cisco 3640 with bootstrap v. 11.1(20)AA2.
After I've installed the modules I boot the router up using an external flash card, the modules are recognized and I can partition them as one 32 MB partition. I can also succesfully copy an IOS image to it (checksum verification says everything is ok).

But I reload the router I get the following error messages:

-------------
get_man_dev: Unknown device - probably NOT formatted.
unknown flash device - mandev code = 0x89aa
cannot read flash info
getdevnum warning: device "flash" has size of zero
get_man_dev: Unknown device - probably NOT formatted.
unknown flash device - mandev code = 0x89aa

cannot read flash info
getdevnum warning: device "flash" has size of zero
open: read error...requested 0x4 bytes, got 0x0
trouble reading device magic number
dir: cannot open device "flash:"
------------

I've got several others running the exact same setup with same bootstrap version.

Any clues to why this doesn't seem to work when booting up, and how to solve it?


Best regards
