[c-nsp] PA-GE not recognized by 7206VXR

[odauby]

Hi *,

When I insert a PA-GE, with or without GBIC, in a 7206VXR chassis running on
NPE-G1, the ENABLED led turns on, TX/RX/LINK leds blink a couple of times,
then the ENABLED led turns out.

The 7206VXR is running 12.2(25)S4 and the PA-GE manual tells me I require one
of these:
Cisco IOS Release 12.0(6)XE or a later release of 12.0 XE
Cisco IOS Release 12.0(6)T or a later release of 12.0 T
Cisco IOS release 12.0(7)S or a later release of 12.0 S
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)B or a later release of 12.2 B

I've tried this card on both busses (slot 3 and slot 6) and always I get the
below messages on the console:

01:38:06: %OIR-6-INSCARD: Card inserted in slot 3, interfaces administratively
