Operating Systems SCO Need Help With System Recovery After HD Errors Post 302992313 by spock9458 on Thursday 23rd of February 2017 04:00:42 PM
Old 02-23-2017
OK, I have my new hard drive installed with the IDE / SATA adapter. Installing from the original SCO 5.0.6 boot disk appears to work fine, I am not linking to any particular driver for the HD and it appears to be recognized. However, when I get to the part about selecting my CD device, the installation does not find the CD. I know from the BIOS that it is attached to the Secondary IDE channel as the Master. Is there some kind of problem with having it as the Secondary Master? I did not change that cable at all, so I know this is how it was configured the last time 5.0.6 was installed. Any ideas why it won't find my CD? I know the CD drive has power, because the tray opens and closes. The "working" light comes on when I insert the CD. However when the installation routine says it is checking the CD the light does not come on. I don't know what to do now. Any help is appreciated.

NAME
pci_error_tolerance_time - time interval, in minutes, between two PCI errors at a I/O slot that will result in automatic PCI Error Recovery VALUES
Default Allowed values (disabled) or non-zero (enabled) Recommended values DESCRIPTION
is a dynamic tunable that corresponds to time interval in minutes. It determines whether an automatic PCI Error Recovery should be initi- ated or not between two PCI errors occurring at an I/O slot. If two PCI errors occur at a slot within this specified time interval, the PCI card in the slot will be suspended and a manual PCI Error Recovery operation will have to be performed to make the card functional. Refer to the section of the olrad(1M) manpage for more details regarding the manual PCI Error Recovery operation. Who Is Expected to Change This Tunable? System administrators can change the value of based on the frequency of PCI errors seen in the system. Restrictions on Changing None. This tunable is dynamic. Changes to this tunable take effect immediately. WARNINGS
All HP-UX kernel tunable parameters are release specific. This parameter may be removed or have its meaning changed in future releases of HP-UX. Installation of optional kernel software, from HP or other vendors, may cause changes to tunable parameter values. After installation, some tunable parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended values. For information about the effects of installation on tun- able values, consult the documentation for the kernel software being installed. For information about optional kernel software that was factory installed on your system, see at AUTHOR
