Getting "Flash downloaded image corrupt" trying to upgrade a RS2BL040 RAID controller with current firmware 2.003-0673 from packet 12.0.1-057 July 25 2009. I have downloaded versions 12.14.0-0185,12.14.0-0167,12.13.0-015 several times each and tried doing the flash with the packaged command line tool, and the GUI interface; and got the same error every time. Running the flash from a SUSE Linux 13.2 box.

The earlier version worked, and then I could do the latest. Thanks.
