[c-nsp] Data Bus Error exception on a AS5300

[Church, Chuck]

Blowing out all the dust and reseating the RAM and flash modules might fix it.  Maybe something got loose during the move.

Subj:[c-nsp] Data Bus Error exception on a AS5300

I just moved a AS5300 that's been powered up for a few years from one 
rack to another.  I also replaced the AC PSU with a refurbished DC PSU 
(Cisco refurb through distribution).  (On a side note here, has anyone 
else ever noticed how much of a PITA it is to replace a 5300 PSU?  The 
5350 is so much easier)  The 5300 is in an endless loop of crashing.  It 
doesn't always crash at the same spot either.  Usually it crashes within 
a second or two of starting the image decompression.  A couple times it 
has completed that process, displayed the IOS legalease text, spit out a 
log message (like %SYS-3-LOGGER_FLUSHING) and then crashed.

I can get it to drop me into rommon.  Bootflash: and flash: are both
