    Folks,
    
    I have to sadly answer my own question:
    
    our attempted HW upgrade to
    
    2 VIP4-50s with 2*PA-2FE each and 2 VIP4-80s with 2*PA-A3-OC3 each,
    256MB memory (VIPs & RSP) and IOS 12.0(15)S completely failed and we
    had to roll back (SW&HW).
    
    Software seems to have problems with CEF/NetFlow on PA-2FE:
    
*Feb 13 04:54:50: %IPC-5-SLAVELOG: VIP-SLOT1:
 00:00:45: %IPFLOW-2-CACHEINIT: Error initializing IP flow cache

    TFTP-Loading a simple ATM Config (two subinterfaces, and some PVCs) onto
    a "shutdown" PA-A3 lead to "restart cbus complex":
    
Loading rbs.upd from .... (via FastEthernet4/1/0): !
[OK - 1293/2048 bytes]
Feb 13 04:58:08: %RSP-3-RESTART: cbus complex
Feb 13 04:59:30: %PARSER-4-BADCFG: Unexpected end of configuration file.

    And we saw various %FIB-4- and %FIB-3- errors

    For the rest of the story I can't really tell yet if it's more likely a
    HW or a SW problem, TAC-Case pending, intensive trouble-shooting (on a
    spare box) with our supplier scheduled for tomorrow: both VIP4-80
    (those with the PA-A3-OC3s) were crashing (differently).
    
    Well, just be warned in the meantime ;-(
    
    Regards
    CP
