Dear all,,,
i have two HBA cards installed on my ES40 alpha server with TRU64 version 4.0F when am booting using VMUNIX kernel and went to the log file kern.log i couldnot see these two cardes whil if am booting with GENVMUNIX i could see these two cards with emx0,emx1 i rebuilt the kernel from this step but when i booted again using the VMUNIX after coping the new file to the root / i faced the same problem of not seeing these two cards

Hi,

no offense but did you copy the new kernel to / before rebooting?

greetings,

Michael

hi

When you were booted from genvmunix and built the new kernel, you did not reuse the existing kernel config file, but created a new one instead. Right?

V4.0F is quite old. What kind of cards are these? The latest ones are probably not supported.

hi
sure i did iam not using the old file am overwriting this file, while the informatin of the HBA cards is:
PN: FCA2354 ENE10479
SN: P562C0AQHP8019

That is one of the newer cards. Which patch kit are you using?

[MahdiRa]

hi Pilmeyer
this is the output of the command
dupatch -track -type kit

- DUV40FAS0003-20000225 OSF440
- DUV40FB22AS0008-20030730 OSF440

Support for the FCA-2354 seems to be in the emx driver (which doesn't necessarily mean that it's also supported).

Can show the result of the following command:

strings /vmunix | grep 'emx driver rev'

It should show 2.10 as the version and would confirm that the driver is in the kernel.

emx driver rev 2.10
