PCI BUS error and server reboot

[Ayman Altounji]

Compaq IML (under Netware 5.1) shows PCI bus error on bus 1 device 9 function 0 (which according to Compaq survey is SCSI2 Controller) and PCI bus error on bus 0 device 13 (which I cant find any reference to?) then server reboots. This happens approx once per week!

Have tried disabling SCSI2 controllers (not in use as RAID card present) but PCI bus error on bus 0 device 13 still occurs and server reboots.

Does anyone know if the bus 0 device 13 is referring to the IRQ that was/is used by the SCSI2 controller seemingly causing the problem? If so can I disable the IRQ also?

Has anybody seen this issue before? Am I looking in the right area or is it that the system board is defective and needs replacing?

Any help very much appreciated.

Hello,
The first and formost thing to do would be to clear NVRAM by going in System Partition(F10). Enable the advanced features by hitting Ctrl A when you are at System Configuration menu. This will reset your hardware configuration. If you need assistance clearing Non volatile memory please contact our Technical Support at 1-800-652-6672.
