[c-nsp] SUP1A MSFC2 boot issues

[Alexander C. Fossa]

Hi,

 

I am having issues getting the MSFC2 engine to boot. I think it might be
something to do with the fact that the SUP1A MSFC2 PFC came from a 6509
and I am putting it in a 6503. I have read a lot about incomparability
issues when moving the Supervisors between different chassis, ie 6509 >
6503. However this might not be entirely the issue.

 

In the MSFC2 rommon:

 

rommon 15 > reset

 

System Bootstrap, Version 12.1(3r)E2, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

Warning: Rommon NVRAM area is corrupted. Initialize the area to default
values

environment checksum in NVRAM failed

environment checksum in NVRAM failed

Cat6k-MSFC2 platform with 131072 Kbytes of main memory

 

rommon 1 >

 

 

Even if I try and do something simple such as 'sync' it throws up this
error:

 

rommon 1 > sync

environment checksum in NVRAM failed

rommon 2 >

 

 

Any ideas lads?

 

Regards,
