PCI 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
card, but received an error. (“Cause” = 32-bit status from
pbt_isr_stop_rx). Additional errors may have been logged with more
information about the failure.
ACTION: The driver may become unusable or attempt an auto-reset. If
the driver appears to hang, try to shutdown the network manually and
then restart it. Most likely, once the reset is complete and the driver has
“reinitialized” the hardware (card), the driver can resume operating
normally.
If the problem persists, it may indicate a bad adapter card; try
replacing the card.
6960 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: Driver encountered a software problem.
CAUSE: While attempting to process a link connection failure and
reconnect the link, an extraneous input message was received in the
PHY state machine (pbt_do_phy_state_connfail). The ISR
attempted to stop the PHY timer (a system timer) when the event
occurred, but received an error (“Cause” = 32-bit status from
lnk_timer_stop).
ACTION: This is an informational message; the driver will attempt to
recover from this error and continue processing. If it can’t, the driver
may try an auto-reset. If the link appears to hang or become unusable,
try shutting down and restarting the network link manually.
If the problem persists, note the conditions under which it occurs,
whether the system is under heavy load, etc. Collect all available
information from the log file(s); see Appendix A , “Submitting a CR.”
Repeated, regular occurrences of the problem may indicate a problem in
the system software; a system dump file may be needed.
6990 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: Driver encountered a hardware problem.
CAUSE: While the ISR was attempting perform a link connect
operation, an unexpected event/message was detected in the PHY state
machine. The driver attempted to check the status of the PHY by
reading one of its status registers but the read operation 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.
7020 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: Driver encountered a software problem.
CAUSE: While beginning a 100Base-T connect sequence, the driver
started to reset the PHY chip, but encountered an error while trying to
get or reset a timer (“Cause” = 32-bit status from the call to
lnk_timer_start). This timer was to be used to wait for the PHY reset
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.
