100VG-AnyLAN and 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
MESSAGE: Driver encountered a software problem.
5330 CLAS0001 CAUSE: During a 100VG-AnyLAN link training sequence, the driver
started to power up the PHY chip, but encountered an error while
trying to get or reset a timer (“Cause”= 32-bit status from the call to
vg_start_timer). This timer was to be used to wait for the PHY
power-up to finish; the driver cannot connect the link if a PHY timer
cannot be started. If this error is reported, it is because the driver has
already encountered some other error.
ACTION: Typically preceded by another error message giving better
information about the original cause; check log data for that error and
look it up also. The driver did not dump, but will still attempt to
auto-reset itself, up to a total of 12 times or more.
If the problem persists, the system may be low on timers; try stopping
some applications before retrying again.
MESSAGE: Driver encountered a hardware problem.
5360 CLAS0001 CAUSE: During a 100VG-AnyLAN link training sequence, after
powering up the PHY chip, the driver encountered an error while trying
to read the PHY ID (“Cause”= 32-bit status from the call to
vg_isr_init_phy_id). If this error is reported, it is because the
driver has already encountered some other error.
ACTION: Typically preceded by another error message giving better
information about the original cause; check log data for that error and
look it up also. The driver did not dump, but will still attempt to
auto-reset itself, up to a total of 12 times or more. Most likely there is
an adapter card hardware problem.
MESSAGE: Driver encountered a hardware problem.
5390 CLAS0001 CAUSE: During a 100VG-AnyLAN link training sequence, the driver
attempted to enable MII interrupts, but encountered an error trying to
read from the serial I/O register on the LAN controller chip (“Cause”=
32-bit status from the call to vg_dio_read8). Most likely a powerfail
has occurred.
ACTION: If a power failure has actually occurred, this error can be
ignored; the driver should recover automatically. But if the same
problem happens every time, see Appendix A, “Submitting an SR.”
MESSAGE: Driver encountered a hardware problem.
5420 CLAS0001 CAUSE: During a 100VG-AnyLAN link training sequence, the driver
attempted to disable broadcast packets, but encountered an error trying
to read from the network command register on the LAN controller chip
(“Cause”= 32-bit status from the call to vg_dio_read8). Most likely a
powerfail has occurred.
