I found this, but it's for 12.2. All others say "A hardware or software
error occurred. Copy the error message exactly as it appears, and report
it to your technical support representative."
%SYS-2-BADBUFFER: Attempt to use [chars] buffer as [chars], ptr=
[hex], pool= [hex]
Explanation An internal software failure has occurred during an
attempt to process a buffer. This message occasionally indicates a
hardware problem.
Recommended Action Verify that the hardware installed in the
router is supported by the Cisco IOS image. Look for other log
messages that might indicate a hardware failure, such as parity
errors. If these messages are absent, this is probably a software
failure.
Are you seeing other errors as mentioned? Either way it looks like a case
for TAC...
