After you downloaded the new code onto the flash disk, did 
you specify (and commit) the boot path?

I always recommend doing so, especially on the high end 
platforms that have multiple areas of storage, where the 
"BOOT=" variable could point to the old path. On smaller 
platforms, the system generally tends to look at the in-
built flash.

Anyway...

Insert your flash disk with the new code into the supervisor 
engine, and while in ROMMON, can you try:

rommon 1 > boot disk0: 

From your post, it looks like you're running the SUP32 
supervisor engine.

Cheers,

Mark.
