PCI 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
reset a timer (“Cause” = 32-bit status from the call to
lnk_timer_start). This timer was to be used to wait again for the link
connect 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.
6750 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: Hub did not report link up within time allowed.
CAUSE: If this error occurs, it is because the link did not connect within
25 to 30 seconds after it was instructed to do so.
ACTION: Verify that the cable is securely connected to the adapter card
at one end, and to a 100Base-TX or 10Base-T hub at the other.
Verify the cable is a correctly wired, Category-5 UTP cable. Category 3
or 4 cables are not acceptable.
If a crossover cable is being used, make sure it is correctly wired.
Check the configuration of the hub or switch port to which the adapter
card is connected. Adjust that configuration and, if necessary, use
NMMGR to adjust the configuration of the link, so that something will
match. If necessary, specify a forced speed and duplex setting, and
disable autonegotiation, at both ends.
6780 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: Timeout while awaiting link autonegotiation completion.
CAUSE: The link appears to be connected, but the driver thinks it is still
waiting for it to connect.
ACTION: This error should not occur. If it happens frequently, see
Appendix A , “Submitting a CR,” or contact your Hewlett-Packard
representative.
6810 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: Driver encountered a hardware problem.
CAUSE: While the ISR was attempting perform autonegotiation, a read
of the PHY’s BMSR register failed.
ACTION: The driver may have become unusable and may try to
auto-reset. If necessary, stop and restart the link manually. If the
problem persists, the PHY chip may have gone bad; try replacing the
PCI 100Base-T adapter card.
6840 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: Driver encountered a hardware problem.
CAUSE: While the ISR was attempting perform autonegotiation, a read
of the PHY’s ANAR register failed.
