[c-nsp] Sup720 crashing at RP boot - HW revision dependent ?

[Marcus.Gerdon]

Tassos,

they've been delivered and supplier-tested with 8.4(2) and 12.2(17r)S4 and bootet with those smoothly in the 6506.

I'm running 8.5(1) and 12.2(17r)SX5 everywhere and updated those Sup's accordingly. But it didn't make difference.



regards,

Marcus
