It depends on your Supervisor Engine, MSFC/PFC and capture method.

There's a good IDSM "software and hardware requirements" table here (but better elesewhere on CCO)

•Catalyst software release 7.5(1) or later with Supervisor Engine 1A with MSFC2

•Catalyst software release 7.5(1) or later with Supervisor Engine 2 with MSFC2 or PFC2

•Cisco IOS software release 12.2(14)SY with Supervisor Engine 2 with MSFC2

7.02(3) is good match for rev 6 SSM software. I have it running this way and its been very stable.
