Novell NetWare OS/2 ODI Driver Messages

This section contains the error messages for the NetWare OS/2 ODI driver. The explanation and recommended action is included with each message.


PCNTNW-OS2-1 The LSL is not loaded.
Explanation: The Link Support Layer module (LSL.SYS) is not loaded.
Action: Load LSL.SYS before loading the driver.


PCNTNW-OS2-21 Could not add the MLID Protocol ID.
Explanation: The PCNTNW MLID could not register the specified Protocol ID.
Action: Edit the NET.CFG file and correct the protocol information.


PCNTNW-OS2-22 Could not allocate memory. The virtual board did not load.
Explanation: The driver could not allocate memory for the virtual adapter.
Action: Check the system configuration.


PCNTNW-OS2-54 The board did not respond to the initialization command.
Explanation: The board initialization failed.
Action: Perform the following steps:

  1.  Verify that the Ethernet enable jumper is set to the default  (enable) position.
  2.  Go to General Checkout/Diagnostics QAPlus/PRO to run the diagnostic utility.


PCNTNW-OS2-56 This interrupt is already used and cannot be shared.
Explanation: The interrupt is already used by another device and cannot be shared.
Action: Assign a different IRQ in the Configuration/Setup utility programs. See 'PCI Bus Control' for information on setting the interrupt requests.


PCNTNW-OS2-58 The board did not respond to the initialization command.
Explanation: The IRQ setting might be incorrect with the hardware setting, or the EEPROM might be corrupted.
Action: Verify that the IRQ settings in the NET.CFG file match the configuration settings in the Configuration/Setup utility programs. See 'PCI Bus Control' for information on setting the interrupt requests. Verify that the EEPROM on the system board is programmed correctly.


PCNTNW-OS2-61 PCI device IRQ number mismatch.
Explanation: The IRQ number specified in the NET.CFG file does not match with the IRQ number assigned in the Configuration/Setup utility programs. The IRQ numbers might be assigned automatically, or you might have manually assigned the IRQ number.
Action: Remove the IRQ number in the NET.CFG file. Or, see 'PCI Bus Control' for information on setting the interrupt requests.


PCNTNW-OS2-64 The device was not found.
Explanation: The driver cannot find the Ethernet controller in the server.
Action: Verify that the Ethernet enable jumper is set to the default (enable) position. Go to General Checkout/Diagnostics QAPlus/PRO to run the diagnostic utility.


PCNTNW-OS2-65 Device not found at IOADDRESS.
Explanation: The Ethernet controller cannot be found at the IO address specified in the NET.CFG file.
Action: Verify that the IO address in NET.CFG matches with the board. Otherwise, remove the PORT keyword from the NET.CFG file.


PCNTNW-OS2-67 PCI scan specified, device not found.
Explanation: The driver cannot locate the Ethernet controller on the PCI bus.
Action: Perform the following steps

  1.  Verify that the Ethernet jumper on the system board is set to  the default, enable position.
  2.  Edit the NET.CFG file to change the BUSTYPE keyword to  PCI1.
  3.  If the problem persists, go to General Checkout/Diagnostics QAPlus/PRO to run the  diagnostic utility.


PCNTNW-OS2-73 Unable to allocate memory.
Explanation: The driver could not allocate memory for the virtual board.
Action: Check the system configuration.


PCNTNW-OS2-80 The DMA parameter is not necessary to PCI device. The DMA parameter is not necessary to PCI device.
Explanation: The Ethernet controller does not require a DMA setting. This parameter is not a valid driver parameter.
Action: Edit the NET.CFG file to delete the DMA parameter.
