If you rconsole to the slot, (#rconsole 5), you will be able to watch it boot.

Subject: [f-nsp] BR-MLX-10Gx4-X CARD_DOWN_REASON_BOOT_FAILED

I'm trying to get a BR-MLX-10Gx4-X moved from one XMR to another. It was
active in the donor XMR. Both XMRs are running the same software
revision (5.6.0e). In the XMR it was moved to, it won't boot.

S5: BR-MLX-10Gx4-X 4-port 10GbE Module CARD_STATE_DOWN(4) (previous state = CARD_STATE_SW_LOADED)

Card State Down Reason Code:
0 CARD_DOWN_REASON_NONE
1 CARD_DOWN_REASON_ADMIN_DOWN
2 CARD_DOWN_REASON_CONFIG_MISMATCH
3 CARD_DOWN_REASON_LOSS_HEARTBEAT
4 CARD_DOWN_REASON_BOOT_FAILED
...

I've tried having it boot in interactive mode and tftp'ing the
monitor/boot/fpga/application software to it. All of that claims to
succeed, but the card still won't boot.

Is there any way to get a more detailed idea of why it's failing to boot
beyond "boot failed"?

I'd tried doing that several times earlier and all I'd get was:

Remote connection to LP slot 5 established
Press CTRL-X or type 'exit' to disconnect itTSEC: bm_get_buf() failed(2) 1
TSEC: bm_get_buf() failed(2) 2
TSEC error: Invalid buffer pointer. Count=1

but I just powered off the slot, powered it up, and immediately rcon 5'd,
and actually got to watch the card boot up properly. i.e. now it's
working.
