I have the same issue as rlgaooa.
I recently bought 4 2500 series routers to start my ccna training, but 2 of then have the flash banks partitioned as 1 and 2.
i have 16mb dram and 16mb Flash (2x8mb) in all the routers.
some are intel flash and others are mixed.
i have tried to remove the partition with 'no partition flash' but I get this error..
================================================
Configuration register is 0x2101
Router(boot)# no partition flash
