Tirei um ASA5550 antigo da prateleira, que tinha 8,4 (2) carregado. Quando tentei inicializá-lo, recebi o seguinte erro ...

An internal error occurred. Specifically, a programming assertion was
violated. Copy the error message exactly as it appears, and get the
output of the show version command and the contents of the configuration
file. Then call your technical support representative.
assertion "_vf_mode_init" failed: file "vf_api.c", line 99

As pesquisas do Google geram muita discussão sobre o GNS3 e este caso dos fóruns de suporte da Cisco , mas nada chega à causa raiz do problema AFAICT.
