[c-nsp] GSR 12008 CSC-8 issues

[Sorin CONSTANTINESCU]

Hi,

I ran into the same problem with a Gigabit Ethernet LC, which wouldn't
boot. The message on the show diag was "  Board State is Waiting to
retry download after persistent failures (RTRY WAIT)"

I changed the Processor Memory and now it's up&running.

Hope this helps.
