Hi,

Check out this document for the information

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/roadmap/asa_new_features.html#wp93116

Its lists the following for software level 9.0(1)

Multiple   Context Mode Features
Dynamic routing in Security   Contexts	EIGRP and OSPFv2 dynamic   routing protocols are now supported in multiple context mode. OSPFv3, RIP, and multicast routing   are not supported.

Seems to me you would need some 9.x version to support the above mentioned Dynamic Routing Protocols.

I don't think its related to the hardware model of the ASA other than that it requires a model that supports Multiple Context Mode. To my understanding the only model that doesnt support that is ASA5505 of the whole ASA5500 and ASA5500-X series.

Hope this helps

Also,

You should find the Configuration Guides for software version 9.0 and 9.1 in the below links. You can browse to the OSPF or EIGRP section and check the Guideline/Limitation section where it will show the information related to Context mode.
