PCI 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
7980 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: Driver encountered a software problem.
CAUSE: The driver was in the middle of a periodic check of whether the
card is still healthy, but encountered an error while trying to get or
reset a timer (“Cause” = 32-bit status from the call to
lnk_timer_start). This same timer has been used repeatedly to
reawaken the driver so it can check the card, so occurrence of this error
probably indicates a larger system problem or corruption of data
structures. 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.
8010 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: Driver encountered a hardware problem.
CAUSE: The driver was in the middle of a periodic check of whether the
card is still healthy, but encountered an error trying to read from the
generic status register on the PHY chip (“Cause” = 32-bit status from
the call to pbt_mii_read16). Most likely a hardware problem has
occurred, not a power failure.
ACTION: The MII bus may have failed; replace the adapter card. If the
same problem persists, see Appendix A , “Submitting a CR.” If a power
failure has actually occurred, this error can be ignored; the driver
should recover automatically.
8040 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: Driver encountered a software problem.
CAUSE: While attempting to de-select a PHY chip during diagnostic
loopback testing of the adapter card, the driver encountered some kind
of lower- level error (“Cause” = 32-bit status from the call to
pbt_isr_set_loopback_mode).
ACTION: This informational error is typically preceded by another error
message giving better information about the original cause; check log
data for that error and look it up also. Depending on the cause of that
error, you may decide that replacement of the adapter card is necessary.
Since diagnostic testing is in progress, the driver should report the
error, then attempt to continue. However, later tests may also fail as a
result of this error.
8070 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: Driver encountered a software problem.
CAUSE: During a link connect attempt, the driver received an interrupt
from the PHY chip on the adapter card and passed that to a lower level,
but the lower level returned an error (“Cause” = 32-bit status from the
call to pbt_isr_call_phy_state_machine).
