Upgrading IOS/ROM on 2651xm through TFTP

I bought a 2651xm from eBay and I have been trying to max out the memory. I had to buy a new ROM chip so that it would recognize the 256 MB. Now with everything install it boots up to ROMMON.

Now I am trying to have this router boot from another 2651xm that is acting as a TFTP server. But when I do a tftpdnld -r command I receive the following output.





rommon 26 > tftpdnld -r

IP_ADDRESS: 192.168.0.2
IP_SUBNET_MASK: 255.255.255.0
DEFAULT_GATEWAY: 192.168.0.3
TFTP_SERVER: 192.168.0.3
TFTP_FILE: c2600-adventerprisek9-mz.124-15.T14.bin

Unsupported interface type. Operation aborted.

*** Software Emulation Exception ***
PC = 0x420141c, Vector = 0x1000, SP = 0x80004c3c

monitor: command "tftpdnld" aborted due to exception
rommon 27 >


I am using a crossover cable between the two routers FastEthernet 0/0. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

    Can you do "dir flash:" ?

    I think I figured out my problem. The System Bootstrap, Version 12.2(10r)1 is not compatible with the XM routers.
