### NetWare Xr Error Messages and Solutions

#### Load command errors

The following error messages may occur while the driver is parsing the parameters.

*Usage Error: AIODGXR port=XXXX mem=XXXXX [name=bname] [node=0].

| This error will appear if you load the driver with no parameters on an ISA bus server.

*Usage Error: First parameter not 'port='.

| The driver expects the first parameter to be port=xxx on ISA machines, but this was not the case.

*Error: Invalid Port Address 0x310.

| This message indicates that an invalid port address was specified.

*Error: Port Address 0x304 is already supported.

| This message indicates that the driver is already supporting an AccelePort Xr adapter at this port address.

*Usage Error: Second parameter not 'mem='

| The driver expects the second parameter to be mem=xxxxx in ISA machines, but this was not the case.

*Error: Invalid Memory Address 0xF0000.

| This message indicates that an invalid memory address was specified.

*Error: AllocateResourceTag failed.

| This message indicates that the driver could not allocate resources from NetWare. Unload unnecessary NLMs and reload the driver.

*Error: AIORegisterDriverA failed.

| This message indicates that NetWare failed to permit registration of the driver.

*Error: AllocateSemiPermMemory returns NULL.

| This message indicates that the driver's request to allocate memory failed. Unload unnecessary NLMs and reload the driver.

*Error: ISA adapters must be loaded before PCI adapters!

| Once PCI support is loaded, you cannot load support for an ISA adapter. Unload the driver. Load all ISA adapters, then reload PCI support.

*AIODGXEM Xr PCI support has already been loaded.

| You only need to load the driver once to support all PCI Xr adapters in the system.

*No PCI BIOS entry point found.

| The driver cannot locate the PCI BIOS. Fatal error.

*No usable PCI adapters found.

| No functioning PCI Xr host adapters were found.

#### Adapter errors

The following error messages may occur while the driver is performing some initial tests on the AccelePort Xr host adapter.

Adapter 4: Port 304 Mem D0000
*Error: This is not an Xr host adapter

| This message indicates that an adapter was found, but it is not an Xr adapter.

Adapter 4: Port 304 Mem D0000 Failed Hardware Registration.

| This message indicates that NetWare failed to accept the driver's attempt to register the adapter's hardware resources.

Adapter 4: Port 304 Mem D0000 Port 304 not found.

| This message indicates that the driver could not find an adapter with port 304h. Check to insure that you have specified the correct I/O port or that you have properly configured the adapter's port address.

Adapter 4: Port 304 Mem D0000 Hardware Reset Fails.

| This message indicates that the driver could not place the adapter into a reset state. This is most likely the result of an I/O port address conflict or a faulty adapter. Be sure that there are no other I/O ports in your system at the indicated I/O port address.

Adapter 4: Port 304 Mem D0000 Memory not found error x.

| This message indicates that the driver could not find the adapter's memory. x indicates the number of memory errors found in a 256 byte block.

Adapter 4: Port 304 Mem D0000 Memory error x.

| This message indicates that the driver has found the adapter's memory, but it appears to be faulty. x indicates the number of errors found in a 256 byte block.

Adapter 4: Port 304 Mem D0000 Memory fails disable.

| This message indicates that the adapter's memory could not be disabled. This could be the result of a memory overlap with some other memory in the system, or a faulty adapter. Ensure that no memory conflict exists.

#### Initialization errors

The following messages may occur during the driver's attempt to initialize the adapter.

Adapter 4: Port 304 Mem D0000 BIOS fails initialization.

| This message indicates that the host adapter's on-board BIOS did not initialize properly.

Adapter 4: Port 304 Mem D0000 FEPOS fails initialization.

| This message indicates that the on-board operating system did not initialize successfully.

Adapter 4: Port 304 Mem D0000 FEPOS finds 0 ports.

| This message indicates that the on-board operating system initialized successfully, but found no ports.

Adapter 4: Port 304 Mem D0000 Command failure during Initialization.

| This message indicates that the on-board operating system encountered a failure during initialization of the asynchronous channels.
