PCI 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
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.
7050 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: Driver encountered a hardware problem.
CAUSE: While beginning a 100Base-T connect sequence, the driver
attempted to read data from one of the PHY registers, but the read
operation failed.
ACTION: This is an informational error; it is possible the read failed
because the PHY chip had not completed its reset sequence. The driver
will attempt to continue processing and try the connect sequence again
later. If successive attempts at connecting are unsuccessful, the link
will not start up.
If this particular problem persists and the driver can not read data
successfully from the PHY, it may indicate the PHY chip is bad; try
replacing the adapter card.
7080 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: Driver encountered a software problem.
CAUSE: During a 100Base-T connect sequence, the driver found the
PHY chip was not reset yet, and started to reset it again, 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 again 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.
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.
7110 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: Adapter card PHY did not finish reset in the time allowed.
CAUSE: During a 10Base-T connect sequence on a PCI 100Base-T
adapter card, the driver tried 3 times to reset the PHY chip, but it still
did not go “ready” (“Cause” is not used here).
ACTION: This is a fatal hardware error. The adapter card may be bad,
and may need replacing.
The driver cannot connect the link if the PHY will not reset. The driver
will enter a “broken” state and await a manual shutdown by the
operator. If you wish you may try running the VGPBA diagnostic and
