Aaron,
Although I am sure you do this already, I am still in the habit the USR guru David recommended years ago. When flashing new cards, make sure to set factory defaults, save to NVRAM then make whatever changes are necessary for your environment. We do this religiously and are using 0.54.0 cards without issue.
Yes, I always restore defaults from NVRAM for the modems and t1, save, reset, then configure. This is probably easier for me than most people since I have a custom SNMP tool to configure the chassis in bulk. I think it's worth mentioning that had someone asked me yesterday, I would have said that we were using 0.54 cards without issue also. I only noticed it because one of the cards had virtually no calls on it when the rest of the chassis was full. Is it possible you disabled the busy-out code either manually, or by using something other than fixed-assignment? Or that you are running sw other than 2.0.51? Or, like me, you just hadn't noticed? (You can use the session monitor on the individual timeslots and look for out-of-service channels. Thanks, Aaron

I just noticed today a large number of channels locked out on 3 modem cards. One of them had all but the last one and a D-channel left enabled! The others were 1/3 to 1/2 dead, all the modems locked out in pairs. This has probably been going on a while, but since we reboot everything on Sundays, I just happened to be looking at these chassis late enough in the week to see the problem today.
Just now having access to TCM and looking at the inventory, I can see that the problem is happening on only (and all) of our hw 0.54.0 rev DSP cards. We are running 2.0.51 software. All our other cards are rev .49 and .53, none of which seem to be having this problem.
Has anyone else seen this? Is there a cure? I can swap out these three cards with spares, but I have these and another 6 cards (in a new, as of yet unused chassis) at that rev, throwing them out isn't an option.
thx,
