Did you tell the switch to boot from the new image?

boot system flash filename(the new one)

then reload the switch.

perfect, that's the first time i've had to do that after loading an image, but that's cool now that switch can do all the same tricks as the other one. That older image didn't even have LACP

You don't have to use the command if you erase the old image first. If you have two images on there you need to specify which one to boot from.
