Hey,

There are multiple incompatible formats. I've once formatted CF on
7200 and copied images to it, inserted it on 7600, where 7600 IOS read
it fine, but it wouldn't boot, because ROMMON couldn't read it.
Reformatted on another 7600 with similar SUP and it was good to go.

Perhaps your 6500 has older sup which does different format than your sup720?
