Hello,
I have to upgrade a MSFC2 Board, Sup1A-2GE with DRAM from 128 to 256 MB.
1. Router shows only 128MB DRAM, with ios 121-13.E2. Maybe memory is defective.
Are there any issues about ?
2. BUT I have an (helpful) information about config-register on MSFC2 Board.
Reading cisco docus shows, both of values (0x102 or 0x2102) are usable.
My experience is: 0x2102 doesn't work, router comes up in boot mode.
config-reg value 0x102 works ok.
See information below.
Regards Ruedi

MSFC2 Board config-register test (after spend a lot of time for this board....)

First , config-reg 0x102 >> Router cames up ok.
Then change to 0x2102
Router(config)#config
Router(config)#config-register 0x2102
Router(config)#end
