100VG-AnyLAN and 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
MESSAGE: Bad hardware ID or path.
51 ($33) CAUSE: During a link-open operation by an upper level subsystem, the
link module configurator did not find a supported 100VG-AnyLAN or
100Base-T adapter card at the hardware path specified in NMCONFIG.
ACTION: Verify the path in NMCONFIG is correct and complete, and
matches the path where a supported 100VG-AnyLAN or 100Base-T
adapter card is installed in the computer backplane. Verify the Power
LED is lit on that adapter. If necessary, reseat the board or contact your
Hewlett-Packard Representative for hardware assistance.
MESSAGE: Adapter card reported an HP-PB fatal error.
52 ($34) CAUSE: The driver’s ISR module awoke to process a DVR request or an
interrupt, but after reading status from the HP-PB interface chip on
the adapter card, the driver discovered a fatal error bit had been set.
ACTION: The driver already verified the bit was not set because of a
power failure. The HP-PB chip has signaled a fatal error. There may be
a hardware problem with the adapter card or the HP-PB bus. Replace
the adapter card. If the same problem still occurs, there could be
excessive activity on the HP-PB bus the card is attached to. Under
heavy DMA load, the HP-PB chip might encounter a timeout while
trying to complete an HP-PB slave transaction, and post a fatal error.
Try to reduce other bus activity by pausing applications. If the system
has multiple HP-PB busses, move the card to a less active bus. If the
problem persists, there may be a hardware problem with the HP-PB
bus itself. Contact your Hewlett-Packard Representative for assistance
in determining paths or correcting bus hardware problems. If the
problem still cannot be traced to bus hardware, see Appendix A,
“Submitting an SR.”
MESSAGE: Driver could not identify PCI controller on card.
53 ($35) CAUSE: After trying repeatedly, the ID the driver is still receiving the
wrong ID from the PCI controller chip on the adapter card.
ACTION: Replace the adapter card. If the same problem persists even
after replacement with a known good card, contact Hewlett-Packard:
your software could be out of date, but a patch may be available. It is
unlikely this would be a system HP-PB bus hardware problem.
MESSAGE: Driver could not identify LAN controller on card.
54 ($36) CAUSE: After initializing the PCI bus on the adapter card, the driver
checked the ID of the LAN controller chip, but found it did not match
any of the known ID’s expected.
ACTION: Replace the adapter card. If the same problem persists even
after replacement with a known good card, contact Hewlett-Packard;
your software could be out of date, but a patch may be available. Or,
depending on the exact cause, a knowledgeable Hewlett-Packard
