All line cards are required to answer SCP (serial control protocol) pings over the eobc (ethernet out of band channel).  When line card fails to

answer SCP ( due to high CPU, mis-seated line cards or hardware failure issues) the supervisor will reload that line card in an attempt to recover

it.  When the line card (in this case an FWSM) is reloaded by the sup, you will see these messages in the switches logs.

Pls. reseat the module and if the problem continues pls. open a TAC case to get the card replaced.
