A carrier transition indicates when the cicuit signalling fails. For
example, this could be indicated when in interface shows 'Serial0/0 is down,
line protocol is down'. However, if the circuit were still up, but the line
protocol(PPP,HDLC,FR) were down you could see the following and not have a
'carrier transition' 'Serial0/0 is up, line protocol is down'.

I did not see the beginning of this thread, so I do not have enough info to
go on, but there could be several issues depending on the chassis, IOS,
processor load, and density of the circuits supported ... among others.

So, if after upgrading your IOS rev(as you mention earlier) you continue to
have difficulty; I might recommend contacting TAC and submitting a 'show
tech' output for them.
