Hi, I'm getting this error continuosly on Cisco 4506 chassis + supervisor engine II ( WS-X4013):
The supervisor/chassis sprom is invalid, system can not boot.
Rebooting in 15 seconds...
Please help me.
Thanks.

Off the top of my head, so someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you can put a WS-W4013+ into a 4006 or a 4506, and you can put a WS-X4013 into a 4006, but you cannot put a WS-X4013 in a 4506 chassis.
I'll check it out. This seems to say so:

Your catos code is probably not high enough to migrate a SupII into a 4500 chassis . It must be at least version 7.4.1 in order for it to work . Below is info on this. If it's not at this version it will continously reboot when inserted.
If you migrate your Supervisor Engine II from a Catalyst 4006 switch to a Catalyst 4503 or 4506 switch, save your configuration and reload the configuration file after you insert the supervisor engine into the Catalyst 4500 series chassis.
The Catalyst 4500 series switch requires software release 7.4(1) or a later release. If your Supervisor Engine II is running software release 7.3(2) or an earlier release, upgrade to software release 7.4(1) or a later release before migrating your supervisor engine to a Catalyst 4500 series chassis.
Caution If you attempt to boot a Supervisor Engine II running software release 7.3(2) or an earlier release in a Catalyst 4500 series chassis, the switch will continuously reboot.
If the switch continuously reboots, you need to do one of the following:
Reinsert the supervisor engine into the Catalyst 4006 switch, and load software release 7.4(1) or a later release, and then migrate the supervisor engine to the Catalyst 4500 series chassis.
Access ROMMON mode while the supervisor engine is in the Catalyst 4500 series switch, and load the 7.4(1) image from ROMMON. For more information, refer to this publication: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/473/26.html

Thank you for your help and excuse me for late replay. I did whatever you suggest me but get following error message when booting with new catos:

Do you have 7.4(1) in the bootflash?. The normal file name is different than the one you have. Can you do a "dir bootflash:" from ROMMON and verify the file and the name?
If you do not have a file, you will need to use the ME1 interface to get one.

7.6(11) should be a good code to run.

Looks like the file name you tried to load is incorrect . Try cat4000-k8.7-4-1.bin . Also your boot rom version must be at least 5.4.1 to run this version of code .
