I am trying to connect DS-BA356 disk shelf in my Alphaserver DS20 (Tru64 5.1B). The SCSI card is KZPBA-CA (single ended).
When I boot in Console mode, the system sees the BA356 and the disks.
When I boot the OS, a SCSI event 700 appears and loops with messages like:
Unable to allocate contig memory for console firmware usage.
Contig Malloc: Cannot find memory in saved list.
I do a control-C, and the the OS boots.
In the kern.log, i have the following messages:
May 25 09:30:08 sapdev vmunix: hwc_check_devnode: block devt (0x05100a80) already in use by hwid 108:re-use requested by cdisk for h

Re: Can't connect a disk enclosure.
Driver isp is needed for KZPBA.
So, you should add the following line in you /sys/conf/$HOSTNAME config file, rebuild your kernel, save old kernel, move new kernel to / and reboot:
# Static Driver Definitions
...
config_driver isp

Re: Can't connect a disk enclosure.
Did you try to boot the machine with genvmunix kernel?

Re: Can't connect a disk enclosure.
I have not tried rebuilding the kernel yet and will include the isp_init entry.
I will try to schedule a shutdown for today
or Tuesday.
Thanks again and will keep you informed.

Re: Can't connect a disk enclosure.
as recommended, I booted with /genvmunix, rebuilt the kernel, and Bingo! No more errors, the devices were created and was able to configure my disks.
Thank you all for your help,
Yves
