We saw symptoms like these in a 6509 with SupII's when we'd upgraded
the DRAM on the RP but forgotten to upgrade the DRAM on the SP
(D'oh!). The box booted the SP fine and then stalled at the point
where it would usually download the image, and then crashed. Once both
SP and RP had enough DRAM to run the IOS image the box suddenly booted
fine.

Not an identical scenario, but it might be worth checking.
