I'd always thought there was a specific way of inserting the flash chip regardless of where it's 'facing'.
Odd thing is I tried loading the IOS (v11.2) on two separate flash chips. Tried it on two different routers (2511 and 2523), had the same errors. Loaded a 12.0 and the errors just disappeared. I'm just waiting for the time when I upgrade to an IOS that requires 16MB. Hope this same thing doesnt happen again. Weird!
