As long as we're mentioning weird issues....
I've found that a CF card formatted and loaded up with IOS images in one
7206 may not fully work in a second 7206. I'd prepared a card in a test
router at my desk and then put it in a production router in a POP. The
production router apparently could not fully read the card. IOS loaded,
but lots of functions did not work. When I tried reading a copy of the
config I'd saved on the card using the test router, I got a read error. I
was able for format the flash on the production router, re-tftp the IOS
image to it, and reload. It's run fine since then...and I no longer try
using CF's formatted in other routers. They get installed, formatted,
loaded with IOS, and then used.
