PCI 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
all timers due to heavy system load, or by system software either failing
to release timers, or having some other bug.
ACTION: This is a fatal software error. The number of available timers
is not configurable, and the driver cannot operate reliably without the
ability to monitor the card. The same problem will likely prevent
attempts to get other required timers also. If you suspect a heavy load,
you can try shutting some processes down, then restart the driver.
Otherwise halt the system, take a memory dump, and reboot, see
Appendix A , “Submitting a CR.”
119 ($77) MESSAGE: Driver dump was forced.
CAUSE: A user is forcing a driver dump to occur, typically via the
VGPBA diagnostic tool program.
ACTION: This error is informational only. The dump is probably being
forced because the system operator suspects a link driver problem.
Forward the resulting NETDMP##.PUB.SYS file to Hewlett-Packard for
analysis if necessary, and see Appendix A , “Submitting a CR.”
121 ($79) MESSAGE: Driver is going down.
CAUSE: A request to the driver failed because the driver is in the
process of shutting down, or because it has encountered a fatal software
error and has not yet been shut down.
ACTION: If this status is reported during a shutdown operation, it may
be ignored. Otherwise this should be a signal to the operator that the
link driver has a problem and needs to be shut down, or dumped and/or
reset.
125 ($7D) MESSAGE: Driver has detected data corruption.
CAUSE: The link driver encountered conditions which should only occur
if memory structures have been corrupted. For example, following a full
reset of the driver data structures, the next transmit resource obtained
was not the first in the list.
ACTION: These errors are extremely serious. The driver halted
operations and attempted to capture a snapshot dump of the problem.
The trouble may or may not be the fault of the link driver; another
application on the system could be walking on memory. Collect all
NETDMP##.PUB.SYS dump files and see Appendix A , “Submitting a CR.”
128 ($80) MESSAGE: Illegal access to saved port message area.
CAUSE: While completing an old blocking request (requiring a driver
exit and later reply), the driver found that the entry in the pending
message save area, where the request was supposedly saved, was no
longer in use, or was not within the range of legal table indexes.
ACTION: This fatal software error is only caused by a bug or memory
corruption, because the driver should never be trying to complete the
same message twice, or passing an illegal index. After reporting this
