Hi,
I'm having problems with a WS-X6K-SUP2-2GE module that is not booting up.
This is the output I get when trying to boot it up:

I followed the instructions on this document, uploaded a new version into the SUP through xmodem but still no luck:

Is there anything else I can do to recover from this behaviour?
Thanks,

Hi Pedro,
What IOS version you trying to boot ? I guess that you probably below required min memory which could be 256MB,
where you have only 128. And you need to have 256 on both - SUP & MSFC

Hi Arunas,
Thanks for your reply.
This a CatOS supervisor. I am trying it to boot from cat6000-sup2.6-4-4a.bin which is approximately 6MB in size. So I don't think memory is the issue here.
After some more reading I saw that this might be a problem related with the NVRAM need to use the battery (cr-2430) on board, if the battery ran out, then the NVRAM can not store the data.
If this is the case then I think RMA is my only chance.
Nonetheless please share your thoughts on this one.
