[c-nsp] 4GE-SFP-LC ROMMON upgrade in IOS-XR

[Marc Binderberger]

Hello,

Indeed, that's what I did, some 12.0(32)... IOS version worked for me.
Alternatively IOX before 3.8.0 .

If I recall right then Engine3 with 1GB Ram and older Rommon is not
booting up at all; I downgraded memory to 512M, then upgraded the Rommon
(via older IOX or via IOS) and then installed the 1GB again.


Regards, Marc
