Howdy,

    Well that was fun, I discovered that my trusty 7204vxr reloaded 
unexpectedly and I find myself without a good explanation. Show version 
gives me 'processor memory pairity error':

System returned to ROM by processor memory parity error at PC 
0x60640F70, address 0x0 at 03:09:00 PST Tue Apr 27 2010
System restarted at 04:10:28 PDT Tue Apr 27 2010
System image file is "disk0:c7200-is-mz.123-26.bin"

    and digging thru the 'show tech' gave me:

    So my inexperienced glancing would say it was something to do with 
OSPF. My question tho is, #1, how do I really debug a problem like this, 
and #2, what would the minimum cisco contract be required to make sure I 
have access to the cco/bug advisor and possibly updated IOS for this 
device? Its been a tank with absolutely zero issues in this enviorment 
for more than a year, but this event underscores the fact that we have 
no real support route and probabbly should get on some program even for 
our little operation.


Thanks.

Mike-
