cisco 6506 supervisor 720. Adding redundant sup720 makes other cards show major error and stops routing.

I added a redundant supervisor 720 to a cisco 6506e. The main supervisor was in slot 5 and i installed the backup in slot 6. 3 lights are green on the backup active light is orange.

I made sure the same software was on both. When the second card comes up it seems ok, but all routing seems to stop on the switch, the card in slot 2 goes into major error, then slot 3 does the same. Also, the switch seems to stop routing at that point, although that might just be the way the cards are configured. So, do i have a bad secondary supervisor? As soon as I remove the secondary supervisor, everything starts working normally again. This is using software version (s72033_rp-IPSERVICESK9-M), Version 12.2(33)SXH, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc5)

I haven't configured anything for redundancy on the supervisor.

I'll have to wait, it's in production with one supervisor, although i did do the show module and iirc, the line cards were showing minor and major errors. I want to say that redundancy showed that it was ok.

I have another chassis coming on friday so that i can test this when it isn't in production. I'll let you know then. Thank you!

Well it turns out it is a bad sup. On a different chassis, i cleared it back to factory config and it kept rebooting and showing lots of errors. Thanks for the help!
