It was the NVRAM
configs. I had just upgraded the boot ROM's- before swapping the RAM &
FLASH. So- everything was new (11.0 or better), except for the NVRAM
configs (they were still built in 9.0). I guess there was a point today,
when I "more thoroughly" understood the term "backwards compatible."
This is not text book,
but my best answer :-)
Thanks All for your input
!!!
Phil
