The _only_ issue is that the chassis ident is MX5-T/40-T etc...
The ID is not in the list so JunOS refuses to finish booting.
We had some part numbers swapped, asked for MX80-40 in late December and
received MX40-T, just had 7 of them swapped out. (We are currently
running 10.4, no way in hell I am jumping to 11.2 or 11.4 at this time).
The interesting thing about this... All of the support and sales folks
I talked to have been under the impression for the last 6+ months that
the new MXxx-T units were just a grey chassis version of the MX80-T
(modular MX80 w/ timing). They all though it was just a part number
change for the re-badged/colored units.
I stopped yelling at them when they had to go to business unit
management to find out that yes, 11.2 and later only and no there would
not be a 10.4S release that added the new chassis IDs for those of us
caught in the middle.
