I have two Cisco 2512 routers. I was able to delete the flash partition on the first router and load the upgraded software without any difficulty. On the second router no matter what I try, it times out during loading the ios upgrade. This is what I see in the console:
System flash directory:

File Length Name/status
1 7155904 altair\ios\c2500-ds-l_112-17_p.bin
[7155968 bytes used, 9621248 available, 16777216 total]
Address or name of remote host [192.168.1.6]?
Source file name? c2500-i-l.123-20.bin
Destination file name [c2500-i-l.123-20.bin]?
Accessing file 'c2500-i-l.123-20.bin' on 192.168.1.6...
Loading c2500-i-l.123-20.bin ... [timed out]
[failed]

and in the tftp server I see :

Timeout error sending c2500-i-l.123-20.bin to (192.168.1.62), 0 bytes.

I can ping the router and the tftp server. Where should I start looking?
 
Well, it looks like the file name is correct, as long as it is the correct file. In other words, the tftp application allows the router to find what you are specifying---the router knows it exists. It may be a crc error, not allowing the file to even begin to be written to flash, like the router says---this does not belong to me. If you have the time, Try taking the trouble router and putting the flash card from the good router into it, then try upgrading. If it succeeds, that would tell you the flash is faulty. Your advantage is that you have a good router of the same make and model, so troubleshooting should be somewhat easy. The interface seems to be okay, otherwise it would not even find the flash IOS file, I would think. But that may not be much work for the interface to do---loading it is another story. In other words, I guess it could be the interface/interface module. Good luck.
