help on 2500 boot prompt repeater 08-16-05

Hello,
I have a 2500 router that always starts with this prompt:
routername(boot)> altough the register configuration setting is 0x2102.
I noticed that the ios image on flash has an invalid checksum, so I
tried to get a "new" one via tftp, but once the download has completed,
it calculates the new checksum and it is invalid again!
Supposing it's a memory issue, I tried replacing the flash memory with
another from an identical router with the same ios image: this time the
checksum is valid but the prompt is still the same!!

Could you help or show the right way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Bye.

What is the name of the image you are trying to boot. Could you also
post a "dir flash:" and show run.

Thanks
