Please don't make fun of my ultra-ghetto utterly unsupported config. :)
I've got a couple of 7010s with RSP7000s in them. Bootflash is
rsp-boot-mz.122-24.bin; running-IOS is rsp-isv-mz.123-8.T.bin (this
also happened with other versions).
I'm booting from a Sandisk 128mb compact flash chip in a CF to PCMCIA
adaptor in slot 0.
Every so often, at random intervals, RANCID detects the following
config change:
!Memory: main 131072K/2072K
!Memory: nvram 125K
!Memory: bootflash 8192K
- !Memory: pcmcia ATA slot0 125184K
+ !Memory: pcmcia Flash slot0 0K
followed 15 minutes or a half hour later by the config reverting to
normal (RANCID runs out of cron every 15 minutes):
!Memory: main 131072K/2072K
!Memory: nvram 125K
!Memory: bootflash 8192K
- !Memory: pcmcia Flash slot0 0K
+ !Memory: pcmcia ATA slot0 125184K
I've never had the router fail to boot, and the cards are well seated.
Anyone have any ideas? Should I be concerned or should I just ignore it?
