Configuring HP-UX For Peripherals

Appendix A 251
EISA Board Configuration
E/ISA Board Power-Up Messages
If either of these messages appear while booting from
EISA SCSI, the system will fail to boot. If booting from
other than EISA SCSI, the EISA cards will not be
recognized.
Action: Call your HP representative.
Message: slot_num Slot EISA Expander Initialized:
eisa_id
Cause: This informational message indicates that the bus
adapter located between the EISA bus and the host
system bus initialized properly. It also indicates how
many slots the kernel is configured to recognize.
Action: None.
Message: EISA SLOT slot_num
Cause: This informational message indicates which slot is
currently being initialized. When successful, each
driver displays its own initialization message. For
example:
EISA SLOT 1: driver_specific_message
Action: None.
Message: Successfully Initialized EISA Boot Device
Cause: The system recognized a special case. If the system
boots from EISA SCSI before EISA SCSI configuration
information is stored in NVM, the processor-dependent
code uses default configuration data that might conflict
with other EISA cards in the system. To handle this,
the system ignores all cards except the boot EISA SCSI
during the first power-up and continues a limited boot.
If eisa_config (run in /sbin/bcheckrc) can create a
valid configuration, it records it in NVM and the
system.sci file, and the system is automatically
rebooted. If a valid configuration cannot be created,
eisa_config issues an error message, the system
comes up with the other cards unusable. In this case,
you can run eisa_config interactively to fix the
configuration and to reboot manually.
Action: None.
