Copy startup-config running-config

Question

I am replacing a css-11150 switch. I received as version 4.01; therefore I upgraded it to version 6.10-405. The upgrade went fine.
Then I ftp the config file to the css box and copy it to startup-config. It worked ok also.
The problem started here -> when I copy startup-config to running-config, it appeared copied ok (no error message), but when I did a "sh run", the running config is empty, (no statements at all). My startup config has about 100 lines of coding. I hate to type in every single line.
Do any one running into this kind of strange problem?
thanks.

Answer 1

I upgraded from Ver 4 to ver 6.10 using the upgrade script.
upgrade
To upload the startup-config
copy ftp
Below is the "sh start", "sh run" "sh ver",
as you can see, when I did a sh run, it returns nothing. (i deleted some lines on sh start here since it is too big to post)
CSS11150# sh startup-config
