        Hello,

I'm trying to upgrade a Cisco 877W from 20 to 36MB of flash. I've made
a backup of all the files in the flash, replaced the module and bootet
the unit. Unsurprisingly it couldn't boot ISO from flash any more
and I used "rommon" to boot via TFTP instead.

The Cisco seems to recognize the new flash module fine:

        #show flash
        36864K bytes of processor board System flash (Intel Strataflash)

        Directory of flash:/

        %Error opening flash:/ (Invalid argument)

        No space information available

But I cannot format it:

        jumpgate#format flash:
        Format operation may take a while. Continue? [confirm]
        Format operation will destroy all data in "flash:". Continue? [confirm]
...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
        flashfs[4]: Checking block 151...bad checksum (58096 != 42239)
        flashfs[4]: erasing block 151...
        flashfs[4]: writing to flash handle 0x82CA55FC, device 2, offset 0xFE0000,
length: 0x20: Read Verify Failed
        %Error formatting flash (I/O error)

Am I doing anything wrong or is that a hardware problem?

        Kind regards
