Trying to hookup two 2960XR's one 24 port one 48 port via stacking modules and when I insert the modules I get this error:

This usually happen if you purchase 3rd party Cisco products that has not been approved by Cisco.
If you purchased it from a Cisco reseller, then contact them so they can resolve the issue.

No we purchased them from a Cisco reseller and they are definitely Cisco. Already contacted the reseller and they are clueless.

We removed the module turned the switch off, waited a min. Plugged the module back in and then turned the switch back on. Module was recognized with this sequence and both switches are online now.
So I guess these modules are not as hot swappable as they should be.

I've seen those stup1d errors before. And I fixed it the same was I as have done in the past: Slam the module to a hard surface and re-insert.
