### Xem Error Messages and Solutions

#### Load Command Errors

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

`*Usage Error: AIODGXEM port=XXX mem=XXXXX [name=bname] [node=0].`

> This error will appear if you load the driver with no parameters on ISA bus computers.

`*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 Xem host 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/EISA 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 Xem PCI support has already been loaded.`

> You only need to load the driver once to support all PCI Xem host 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 Xem host adapters were found.

#### Adapter Errors

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

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

> This message indicates that an adapter was found, but it is not an Xem host 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. Check to see that the PORTS modules are connected to the AccelePort Xem host adapter.

`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.
