2. CPU-HOG and traceback messages in the log

Messages appear in log in clusters of at least 10 within a couple of minutes after that it can be quiet in the log for hours. Latest logs oldest message is from 1:17am and I count 12 messages like this between then and 1:18am. After this it goes quiet until 3:38pm the same date when the local techie insert a compact flash card and configure boot from that in case it would reload itself..

followed by another 13 similar CPUHOG/Traceback messages.
I have taken note that the traceback data is not the same every time.
this is the hardware and software listing:

I have run the show tech-support through output enterpreter without any luck.
The closest bug I can find is CSCsj06593 but that deals wiith a Cat 4500 sup4 and redundant supervisories....
I have not attached the show-tech since it might conatain some sensitive info. I'll have to check with management if I can attach it as it or if I have to clean it up first.
Edit regarding problem #1
Trying to re-format the sup-bootdisk flash failed totally
l3sw5dd#format sup-bootdisk:
Format operation may take a while. Continue? [confirm]
Format operation will destroy all data in "sup-bootdisk:". Continue? [confirm]
%Error formatting sup-bootdisk (Format failure - Drive Communication)
Guess at least that problem points towards hardware.
