Same old same.

FYI, this kind of problem is solved using UBL (in 12.2(33)SXI IOS I think).

Basicaly, during this kind of maitainance, the new module will download the
same IOS, config, etc... from the active one. I read that a few days ago,
comes in handy when you stand in the place you are in right now.

Good luck.
