We have a WS-C4948-10GE that we are looking to load 15.0 code on. The version that I've loaded on the device is cat4500-entservicesk9-mz.150-2.SG10.bin
After setting the 4948 to boot using that file, the switch hangs after displaying the following output:

I get no further response from the console after the last line.
We've tried two different 15.0 code revisions with the same behavior. Would greatly appreciate any ideas.
