bakunin, all very good points.
Still thinking single user mode if they can't get control of the console would be beneficial at least from a troubleshooting standpoint. Would let them see adapters, if any...See below:
Something else that concerned me from the boot log was this line:
I looked that up and that's coming out to be a PCI host bridge failure message. Likely the system doesn't see its adapters at all. I might be off, and my IBMer isn't available to confirm for me. Depending on whats causing the failure message, you may need a system backplane or I/O backplane replacement. Which would explain why your direct attached console isn't working.
There's other PCI I/O adapters that can cause that error, however I feel such efforts might be beyond the scope of this forum, and you'd best be off finding a 3rd party support or be willing to shell out some insane dollar amount to IBM for service.

Hi. I need to find a simple SCSI adapter card for a Sun Ultra 5 workstation. I don't need the type w/ ethernet attached (e.g. X1032) as I already have ethernet onboard & they are more spendy.
I know Adaptec is out, but what unit would work? I am attaching an external SCSI tape unit to this... (4 Replies)
Hi everyone, it's me the Solaris novice once again. Here's my situation.

Hi all, I got sort of a task to do. I have to write in C "simulated network driver". What does it mean?
- It has to run on all network adapters
- It has to be as simple as it can be
- It has to run on all linux distributions (or at least most of them)
- It does not have to run a network... (4 Replies)
I inserted a PCI Realtek RTL8139 network adapter on a PC running SCO Openserver 5.0.6.
I successfully loaded drivers and I'm trying to install the card with netconfig command, unfortunately without success.
Here are the steps I follow to install the card:

I need to connect 80pin SCA Ultra320 SCSI hdd to 68pin.
There are rumors that some bad "passive" adapters with problematic termination can fry the HDD. The adapter we got is Assmann ABSCA-2. Hard drive is 'Fujitsu MAW3073NC'
Do we need to set any jumpers before turning it on?
We already had... (0 Replies)
Hello,

Hi,
I want to change from vscsi to npiv. Is it possible to use both on the same adapter, so we can change the systems one by one, or must we place a second FC adapter in the VIO servers?
Thanks,

HY(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual HY(4)NAME
hy - Network Systems Hyperchannel interface
SYNOPSIS
/sys/conf/SYSTEM:
NHY hy_controllers # Hyperchannel
DESCRIPTION
The hy interface provides access to a Network Systems Corporation Hyperchannel Adapter.
The network to which the interface is attached is specified at boot time with an SIOCSIFADDR ioctl. The host's address is discovered by
reading the adapter status register. The interface will not transmit or receive packets until the network number is known.
DIAGNOSTICS
hy%d: unit number 0x%x port %d type %x microcode level 0x%x. Identifies the device during autoconfiguration.
hy%d: can't handle af%d. The interface was handed a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address family; the packet was
dropped.
hy%d: can't initialize. The interface was unable to allocate UNIBUS resources. This is usually due to having too many network devices on
an 11/750 where there are only 3 buffered data paths.
hy%d: NEX - Non Existent Memory. Non existent memory error returned from hardware.
hy%d: BAR overflow. Bus address register overflow error returned from hardware.
hy%d: Power Off bit set, trying to reset. Adapter has lost power, driver will reset the bit and see if power is still out in the adapter.
hy%d: Power Off Error, network shutdown. Power was really off in the adapter, network connections are dropped. Software does not shut
down the network unless power has been off for a while.
hy%d: RECVD MP > MPSIZE (%d). A message proper was received that is too big. Probable a driver bug. Shouldn't happen.
hy%d: xmit error - len > hy_olen [%d > %d]. Probable driver error. Shouldn't happen.
hy%d: DRIVER BUG - INVALID STATE %d. The driver state machine reached a non-existent state. Definite driver bug.
hy%d: watchdog timer expired. A command in the adapter has taken too long to complete. Driver will abort and retry the command.
hy%d: adapter power restored. Software was able to reset the power off bit, indicating that the power has been restored.
SEE ALSO intro(4N), inet(4F)BUGS
If the adapter does not respond to the status command issued during autoconfigure, the adapter is assumed down. A reboot is required to
recognize it.
The adapter power fail interrupt seems to occur sporadically when power has, in fact, not failed. The driver will believe that power has
failed only if it can not reset the power fail latch after a ``reasonable'' time interval. These seem to appear about 2-4 times a day on
some machines. There seems to be no correlation with adapter rev level, number of ports used etc. and whether a machine will get these
``bogus powerfails''. They don't seem to cause any real problems so they have been ignored.
