 Hello,

 Check your bootflash.  You may have to upgrade it to a newer version
 that can recognize the NPE-400.

Yep, that's almost certainly it.  It is *amazing* the amount of
trouble people have with 7200s that is directly traceable to the
bootflash being wildly out of sync with the running IOS load.

Not that I've ever picked up malfunctioning VXRs on the cheap that
turned out to work fine after getting re-flashed whistles innocently...
