SDI Driver Specific Status Values
ACTION: This error indicates a bug in the link driver. The driver is
designed to avoid this situation through use of various queues and
checks. If the problem happens often, see Appendix A, “Submitting an
SR.”
MESSAGE: Driver is out of extra DMA quad resources.
34 ($22) CAUSE: When processing an outbound data buffer, the driver found the
data residing on more pages than a standard DMA step can support,
but when it attempted to get an extra quad, none were available.
ACTION: None. This is an internal error used to detect the out of extra
quads condition. The driver automatically requeued the buffer for later
transmission, on the assumption some extra quads will free up.
MESSAGE: Driver is out of card memory resources.
35 ($23) CAUSE: The driver attempted to dequeue a card memory buffer entry
from a specific queue, but the queue was empty.
ACTION: None. This is an internal error used to detect the empty queue
condition. In most cases, the driver already knows the queue is not
empty, and does not check for this error. If this error occurs as part of
some other problem, see Appendix A, “Submitting an SR.”
MESSAGE: The link is already started.
39 ($27) CAUSE: During a link-open operation by an upper level subsystem, the
link module configurator attempted to create a new instance of the link
driver, but discovered the driver was already created.
ACTION: This event is informational. No action is required. The module
configurator will ignore this warning and continue to bring the link
driver up, so that the number of users may be checked.

MESSAGE: Driver received an unknown port message.
41 ($29) CAUSE: The driver received a port message which it does not
implement, or containing a function code which it does not implement.
ACTION: This is an informational error only. If this error occurred as
part of a driver reset operation, it may be ignored. The driver did not
attempt to return an error reply to the message sender. That sender
may now be hung, awaiting a reply. Attempt to determine what action
