Thanks Kevin. I had another dig at work today and found a page that said
they should work. Read through yours tonight (some of which, after another
search today I still didn't find), and one of them contradicts. It went to
TAC today. I'll have a look at the 'show pci hardware' in the morning.
I'm in two minds as to whether this can be the problem (or possibly half a
mind :-)). Whichever module is put in first works. I don't know whether this
rules out a bus problem or not.
I'll post Cisco's answer when it arrives.
Thanks again,
Gaz
