I am trying to upgrade the pix software on a 515E Failover unit. When
I load version 7.2 it says that it completes the load and boots into
7.2 From there if I reload I get an error saying that there isn't an
image in flash to boot. Also when I do dir flash: it shows the flash
as empty. Once the copy completes I get the initializing flashfs
message which I should get. Any ideas why my flash is empty?

starting to get the feeling there is something wrong with the hardware.
The flash doesnt even seem to hold any image.
