I had this problem and opened a case. The only outcome of the case was 
that the conf-reg settings were out of sync with no way of finding the 
cause. Setting conf-reg from regular IOS cli will set all conf-regs on all 
parts of the Sup720, as said in earlier posts.

I actually recommend setting the confreg before each reboot on the 7600, 
just as a precaution.

Back in SXE we had problems with the confreg being wrong twice in approx 
20 reboots, on somewhere around 15-20 7600. This might be better in SXF, 
of course, this was when SXE had just come out.
