Also a chance of stalling the bus for too long if you insert the new
supervisor too slowly into the chassis.. so its possible you will reboot
even if you should not have to.

Same old same.

FYI, this kind of problem is solved using UBL (in 12.2(33)SXI IOS I think).

Basicaly, during this kind of maitainance, the new module will download the
same IOS, config, etc... from the active one. I read that a few days ago,
comes in handy when you stand in the place you are in right now.

Good luck.

Y.
