Hi..
We supplied Catalyst 6509 our customer site recently.
but We got the problem, the problem is that the supervisor didn't come up, still remained rommon mode. the log like below:
Testing lower main memory - data equals address
Testing lower main memory - checkerboard
Testing lower main memory - inverse checkerboard
Clearing lower memory for cache initialization
Clearing bss

Cat6k-Sup720/SP processor with 524288 Kbytes of main memory
rommon 1 >
Although We had configured bootvar sup-bootdisk or disk0: , the supervisor remained with rommon mode. In order to boot, We should enter the command "boot disk0:"
In my opinion, It's fault sup-720-3B, but I would like to know Why it is
Thank in advance any comment~!

Do you have the right IOS loaded on the box?
Do you have the boot variable set up?
boot system flash sup-bootdisk:
You may have a bad flash card. If you have good working flash card put it in this sup and reload the box and see what happens.

the bootvar configuration has no problem, When I use that config to other C6509, It has no problem to working.
It seems to be a Battery issue located in Supervisor 720-3B board.
