EISA Board Conﬁguration

Troubleshooting E/ISA Board Conﬁguration

Begin by reading the system messages displayed by the dmesg command.

Then consult this section and “E/ISA Board Power-Up Messages” shortly

for possible causes and recommended actions.

Verifying the Syntax of a CFG File

If an E/ISA board is not conﬁguring properly, check the CFG ﬁle syntax,

using the -c option.

Note, the eisa_config -c option is useful only for diagnosing errors in a

particular CFG ﬁle, not for changing the conﬁguration.

# eisa_config -c HWPC051

Checking this CFG File for correctness:

/sbin/lib/eisa/HWPC051.CFG

Successful syntax verification

Board Stops Working or No Non-Volatile Memory

(NVM) Driver

If a board that was working suddenly stops working or the system

reports that the NVM driver cannot be used, the kernel might have been

altered and now lacks the required device drivers. If so, you will need to

relink the E/ISA board drivers to the kernel.

See “Conﬁguring the Software Required by the E/ISA Board” or board

documentation supplied by the manufacturer.

Added or Moved Board Does Not Work

If you added or moved an E/ISA board that is not working, check the

following:

Step 1. If you added the board using automatic mode, check

/etc/eisa/config.err for error messages.

Step 2. Did you add the required drivers to the HP-UX kernel? If not, see

“Conﬁguring the Software Required by the E/ISA Board”.
