Ethernet Controller Messages
NDIS 4.0 (Windows NT) Driver Messages
This section contains the error messages for the NDIS 4.0 drivers. The explanation
and recommended action are included with each message.
PermaNet(tm) Server: No Secondary Adapter Found. Grouping Mode is disabled.
Explanation: The failover option requires an adapter that is compatible with the device driver of the
Ethernet controller on the system board. No such adapter was found.
Action: Make sure the correct adapter is installed. .
PermaNet(tm) Server: Problem Occurs on the Primary Adapter. Switching over to the Secondary
Adapter.
Explanation: The system detected a problem with the primary Ethernet connection and has transferred
all network traffic to the secondary Ethernet controller.
Action: Identify the cause of the failure on the primary Ethernet connection. Restoring the operational
state of the primary connection will cause the network traffic to automatically transfer to the primary
Ethernet controller.
PermaNet(tm) Server: Switching back to Primary Adapter.
Explanation: The primary Ethernet connection is now operating correctly. Network traffic will
automatically transfer to the primary Ethernet controller.
Action: None needed, message is for information only. .
UNIX Messages
This section contains the error messages for the SCO UNIX LLI driver.
pnt0-2 PCI search specified, PCI device not found!
Explanation: The driver cannot locate the Ethernet controller on the PCI bus.
Action: Run the NETCONFIG program to search for another Ethernet controller.
Verify that the PCI Ethernet device type is set to the default (enabled) position in the
Configuration/Setup utility programs (see “PCI Bus Control” on page 29).
If the problem persists, go to “Diagnostic Test Programs” on page 111 to run the diagnostic utility.
pnt0-6 Cannot allocate memory for the adapter during an interrupt. Please check your
Streams parameters.
Explanation: On a SunSoft Solaris system, this message indicates that the system is out of Streams
memory blocks.
Action: Use the CRASH utility to increase the number of Streams memory blocks.
Modify the interrupt request (IRQ) settings in the Configuration/Setup utility programs, or run the
NETCONFIG program to match the hardware settings.
pnt0-7 Cannot allocate memory for the adapter during reset. Please check your Streams
parameters.
Explanation: The system is out of Streams memory blocks.
Action: Use the CRASH utility to increase the number of Streams memory blocks.
pnt0-11 Device not found!
Explanation: The driver cannot find an Ethernet controller.
Action: Verify that the PCI Ethernet device type is set to the default (enabled) position in the
Configuration/Setup utility programs (see “PCI Bus Control” on page 29). If the Ethernet adapter is
enabled, go to “Diagnostic Test Programs” on page 111 to run the diagnostic utility.
