Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade a 3640 from 12.2(16). I've tried downloading 2
different versions of the IOS (12.3(18), 12.2(34)) and can't get them
to load.
When the router boots, it gives me one of two errors depending on the
software version. It's either:
"Uncompressed image checksum is incorrect" or
"Pre and post compression image sizes disagree"
and then it goes into rommon.
However, when I copy the original IOS on to the router from my laptop,
this IOS boots! I TFTP'd this from the router a few years ago when I
bought it.
I'm getting the .bin images from cisco.com using the normal method of
downloading from their website.
I'd suspect bad memory (the router has 128 MB) but the original image
that works is actually larger than the other two versions I've tried.
I'm using TFTP when I have a working image in the router and xmodem
when I don't.
Any ideas? Could I be corrupting all these images somehow?? Could it
still be bad memory? I assume this is a 3640 and not a 3640A. How can
I tell? Any help is appreciated.
-Stacy

Most likely. Why don't you use TFTP for the new images? The most likely cause
for your troubles is that the images get corrupted along the way from Cisco's
webpages to your router. Thus, what steps do you perform to get the image to
the router?
>Could it still be bad memory?
If the new images are smaller, this is very unlikely.

Hi Crishoph,
Thank you for your help. I am using TFTP to get the images to the
router when I'm not in ROMMON. Otherwise, I'm using xmodem with the
console cable. I'm downloading the images from Cisco's website after
using the software selector utility using IE on a Win 2003 machine.
Then I use Hyperterm to connect to the router. I'm in the process of
loading the original image back on so I can do a sho ver & verify that
it's a 3640 and not a 3640A.
FYI, I took a tip and got an MD5 checker. The checksum from Cisco
matches the file I downloaded so I'm not sure that the file is corrupt.

on the CCO download site various checksums for each file are shown.
for example there is a MD5 checksum.
download an MD5 checksum verifier for Windows and check that the MD5
checksum for the .bin that you downloaded matches what is shown on the
CCO site for that file.

Thanks! I followed your advice and downloaded an MD5 checker. I had
printed out the checksum pages before I downloaded the software. The
checksums do match.
