is the image valid?

rommon 2 > boot flash:c2600-i-mz.122-10b.bin

or

rommon 2 > confreg
correct if necessary (0x2102)

rommon 3 > reset

I had 3 routers crash today! Three different IOS's = bad checksum . What's going on? 

Hmmm a clue; *** System received a SegV exception ***
ERROR: 'Segmentation Violation (SegV) Exceptions' are always related to software
issues.
TRY THIS: Please refer to the TAC Case Collection - SegV exceptions for troubleshooting.
REFERENCE: For more information, see SegV Exceptions.

Cause of SegV Exceptions

SegV exceptions are always software problems. It is possible for different software issues to cause a SegV exception, such as:

  • Access to an invalid memory address
  • Write access to a read-only memory region
  • A jump to an invalid PC (often 0x0)
