I'm running the 15.0(1)M1 Advanced IP services, which is a different IOS image.

This is my personal network, I don't have a support contract on any of it.  I
like to demo the newer IOS on it for that reason.  Figured it was worth a shot
to ask over here, maybe some cisco engineer watches this or some one ran into
this before.

I would suspect not, as no one would run ISIS on this platform, as it's kinda
a half ass ISIS implementation to begin with.
