Congratulations on having four 6509s to play with.  Sorry about 
the problems.

When you say that the user will not be able to log into the 
network, are you also saying that each and every port on each 
of these modules are configured alike?  For example, can I 
presume that these are access ports you are referencing, and as 
such all have received the "set port host" command?  What 
indications are you getting of trouble.  Can these hosts ping 
each other?  Can they ping their default gateway?  How far (if 
at all) can they get?  Do they even get a link light? Have you 
attempted to fully reseat the modules in question, or swap them 
out with a different slot?

I can only infer about what it is, but my SWAG type guess would 
be some form of an ASIC, such as the SAINT, Phoenix, etc.  
Regarding the specific error, you may want to look at this link
(watch wrap):

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat6000/reln
otes/78_6218.htm

Search within the page for both "coil" and "pinnacle".  Also 
read the note on reseating the modules from a pinnacle synch 
error.  To wit:

  If you see minor hardware failures or Pinnacle sync errors on 
bootup, reconfirm that the supervisor engine and all the 
switching modules are fully seated, the ejector levers are 
fully depressed, and the thumbscrews are fully tightened.

HTH,
