Some of the diags are heavily dependent on IOS config, usually only the 
disruptive ones though. I don't have any 6408s but what does:

sh diagnostic content module X

....say when the card is inserted? It should list some details about 
test #7 i.e. whether it's a bootup/health test, which I'd expect to pass 
in all circumstances.

A few weeks ago, I'd have said you may have a bad slot, but recently we 
had a slot "go funny" and no amount of fiddling would clear it *except* 
a reload of the box, so it's definitely worth trying.

Have you tried other cards in that slot?
