Message-ID: <349@umcp-cs.UUCP> Date: Sun, 14-Oct-84 07:56:10 EDT Article-I.D.: umcp-cs.349 Posted: Sun Oct 14 07:56:10 1984 Date-Received: Mon, 15-Oct-84 02:00:26 EDT References: <177@cybvax0.UUCP> Distribution: net Organization: U of Maryland, Computer Science Dept., College Park, MD Lines: 27 * From: dbr@cybvax0.UUCP (Douglas Robinson) ... the system panics with the following: hp1: not ready hp1X: hard error snYYYY mbsr=13100\ er1=4 er2=100000 mr=10 mr2=11777 I don't know of a fix but the problem is most likely not the disk drive. The ``not ready'' message comes from /sys/vaxmba/mba.c whenever the ready bit is off unexpectedly. Probably you have a hardware problem in the SC750, or something like that. (Might just be a loose card.... Considering the bits, it looks like the SC750 is executing some commands that were never sent to it.) [The bits above decode to: ATTN => drive attention bit on, DTCMP => data transfer complete, DTABT => data transfer aborted, MXF => missed transfer, RMR => register modification refused, BSE => bad sector error. The above can be found, after a bit of searching, in the VAX hardware books, or you can look in /sys/vaxmba/mbareg.h and /sys/vaxmba/hpreg.h, if you have kernel sources.] -- (This mind accidently left blank.)
