SDI Driver Specific Status Values
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 a CR.”
53 ($35) MESSAGE: Driver could not identify PCI controller on card.
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your software could be out of date, but a patch may be available.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.
54 ($36) MESSAGE: Driver could not identify LAN controller on card.
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your software could be out of date, but a patch may be available.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
Support Representative may be able to use VGPBA diagnostics to
modify your adapter card’s EEPROM to work temporarily with your
older software.
55 ($37) MESSAGE: Driver could not identify the expected PHY on card.
CAUSE: After verifying the PHY chip on the adapter card had been
successfully reset, the driver checked the ID of the PHY, but found it
did not match any ID expected for this kind of adapter card.
ACTION: Replace the adapter card. The motherboard and PMC board
may be mismatched, the PHY chip may have gone bad, or your software
may be out of date. Only the upper 12 bits of the ID need to match the
expected value, which varies depending on adapter card type.
56 ($38) MESSAGE: Adapter card LAN controller reported a fatal error.
CAUSE: The link driver received an adapter check interrupt from the
LAN controller chip on the adapter card, indicating a fatal error has
been detected.
ACTION: This error typically indicates a driver bug has resulted in
incorrect use of the LAN controller chip, however it could also indicate
an adapter card hardware problem. The driver will now attempt to
