Flash memory Card for a Cisco 3640 Router
What type of Flash memory Cards are supported on a Cisco 3640 Router? I currentyly have a 16MB Card, works fine, but the IOS does not fit on it. I have a 24MB card, the router sees the card but gives the following error.
R3Gateway#show slot0
Flash card inserted. Reading filesystem...
%Error: PCMCIA Slot0 flash bank 0 chip 0 unknown, chip id 0x0 (reversed = 0x0)
%Error: PCMCIA Slot0 flash initialization failed
done.
PCMCIA Slot0 flash directory:
No files in PCMCIA Slot0 flash
[0 bytes used, 25165820 available, 25165820 total]
24576K bytes of processor board PCMCIA Slot0 flash (Device not programmable)

No files in PCMCIA Slot0 flash
[0 bytes used, 25165820 available, 25165820 total]

Is there a way for the card to work with the router?

I looked for the format command, but it is not there. Maybe this IOS does not support that command?

Thanks for the tips. I have issued the partition slot0) 1 command, no error. when used erase or squeeze, the slot0 does not show up as a valid option. I tried all of those before posting this message, I am not sure what I may be missing.
Since you used the partition command, can you use dir slot0: ?
Be sure to use the colon ":" after slot0
Be sure to use the colon ":" after slot0

The output from that is listed below.
Is it possible the 3640 does not support the 24MB Card?
Also why would the format command not be available?

It does, there are simply no files in it...

You forgot the ending colon here:
>R3Gateway#dir slot0 <-- does not work!
R3Gateway#dir slot0: <-- works!
>R3Gateway#dir slot0:

OK I understand the colon needs to be there. I have several outputs. The Flash memory card does not show up as an option to copy to, squeeze, erase, etc.. The router sees the card, but can't do anything with it.

Lrmoore,
Thanks for the information and help. It turns out the card is just not compatible with the Router I have. I have a differnt 32MB Card that is working fine with the router.
