PCI bus mb0_mb1 (Slots 0, 1, 3 and 5) has a capacity of 600 bandwidth points.
Current configuration on bus mb0_mb1 has a total of 890 bandwidth points.
The set of PA-2FE, PA-POS-2OC3, and I/O-2FE qualify for "half
bandwidth points" consideration, when full bandwidth point counting
results in oversubscription, under the condition that only one of the
two ports is used. With this adjustment, current configuration on bus
mb0_mb1 has a total of 690 bandwidth points.
This configuration has oversubscripted the PCI bus and is not a
supported configuration.
PCI bus mb2 (Slots 2, 4, 6) has a capacity of 600 bandwidth points.
Current configuration on bus mb2 has a total of 600 bandwidth points
This configuration is within the PCI bus capacity and is supported.
Please refer to the following document "Cisco 7200 Series Port Adaptor
Hardware Configuration Guidelines" on Cisco.com <http://www.cisco.com>
for c7200 bandwidth points oversubscription and usage guidelines.

Any ideas? This is kicking my ***** and I don't see how to correct this!
Thank You!

Error ratio is negligible, and if not increasing, not a reason for concern.
Possibly due to congested output interface.

Thanks for the reply. This morning I went and removed all unused cards and moved the FE from 4/0 to 0/0. I was trying to get the bandwidth points down and they are now.
PCI bus mb0_mb1 (Slots 0, 1, 3 and 5) has a capacity of 600 bandwidth points.
Current configuration on bus mb0_mb1 has a total of 490 bandwidth points.
This configuration is within the PCI bus capacity and is supported.
PCI bus mb2 (Slots 2, 4, 6) has a capacity of 600 bandwidth points.
Current configuration on bus mb2 has a total of 200 bandwidth points
This configuration is within the PCI bus capacity and is supported.
Thinking this may be my problem. I then reloaded the router after doing the following
process-max-time 50
buffers middle permanent 180
buffers middle max-free 230
buffers middle min-free 50
after a uptime of only 1 hr I have the following.
