Few things I would check
1)Make sure the GBICs are of same type
2)Disable auto negotiation on both sides. On the XL you can do a "no negotiation auto"
3)What configuration do you have on the XL for this gig interface and what is the corresponding config on the summit switch(is it a access port or a trunk port)
4)Do a sh intergace gig 0/# and see what the status is
