New Error Messages for PCI Error Handling
When the PCI Error Handling feature is installed, new error messages are included for each of the drivers
that support PCI Error Handling.
— Error messages for the btlan, igelan, and iether drivers appear in the console log only and do not get
logged in syslog.
— Error messages for the fcd driver are logged in syslog only and do not appear in the console log.
— If an I/O card has multiple ports, error messages may not be reported for all of the ports on the card if the
PCI Error Handling feature suspends the driver before the error is detected on all of the ports.
