Dear Colleagues,
Are there any updates on that issue? I have the same problem with 
BR-MLX-1GFx24-X-ML card in MLXe-16 chassis:
telnet at lsr1-gdr.ki#show module
        Module                             Status      Ports  Starting MAC

M2 (lower):

show log:

Nov 12 18:54:54:N:System: G1 based module in slot 16 kept interactive - System in Turbo fabric data mode
Nov 12 18:54:54:N:Module 16 is reset by mgmt (reason: boot to interactive mode)

But according to "MLX Module Compatibility Matrix" document it should
work properly both with SFM and hSFM modules and with BR-MLX-MR2-M 
mgmt. module. But in this document there is no any note about "Turbo"
mode.

>From other side, 
http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/foundry-nsp/2012-April/003519.htm
claims that "If the system is operating in Turbo mode, standard switch 
fabric modules (G1) and standard (G1) interface modules are automatically 
blocked."

Thus, in order to get BR-MLX-1GFx24-X-ML card working properly I should
disable turbo-mode of hSFM? But what consequences it may have?
And what should I do when there is need to use 100G modules?

Thanks in advance!
