a)
I would appreciate if someone can help me narrow down on this issue.
I've seen packet drops on Fast-ethernet interfaces running ISL and CEF, the
load is out of the question because some boxes exhibit these errors with
minimal load.
Here's the HW SW configurtion of one of the boxes
*****************

System returned to ROM by reload

No slave installed in slot 3.

**************************
At this time I have disbaled CEF (dCEF) to get rid of the packet drop.

Same problems with some other IOS,
12.0(10)S5 Service Provider/VIP
12.1(5) Service Provider/VIP

Any ideas why this is hapening ? I've seen this on RSPx, with these 3
flavors of IOSs.

b) We've seen serious packet drops on some of the 7500s installed with SMIP
Cards and RSP8, running 12.0(18)S code,
Need to know if others are facing similar issues.

Thanks
