[c-nsp] 7204VXR rebooted by watchdog hard reset with PA-FE in slot 1

[Youssef Bengelloun-Zahr]

Hello all,

I have inserted the PA-FE in the chassis after the router has booted, here
is an output of a show diag :

Slot 1:
        Fast-ethernet (TX-ISL) Port adapter, 1 port
        Port adapter is analyzed
        Port adapter insertion time 00:00:04 ago
        EEPROM contents at hardware discovery:
        Hardware revision 1.0           Board revision A0
        Serial number     7808144       Part number    73-1688-04
        FRU Part Number:  PA-FE-TX

        Test history      0x0           RMA number     00-00-00
        EEPROM format version 1
        EEPROM contents (hex):
          0x20: 01 11 01 00 00 77 24 90 49 06 98 04 00 00 00 00
          0x30: 50 00 00 00 98 02 20 00 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF

The PA-FE is well recognized. I have also inspected the backplane on slot 1,
It's all good (no bend pins).



Then, I reboot the router with the PA-FE still in slot 1 and I get the same
loop again and again :

Router#reload
Proceed with reload? [confirm]
