•
Directory /etc/conf/pack.d/lsil should exist and should contain
the files Driver.o and space.c .
Here are some potential problems and their suggested solutions:
•
Difficulty loading the SCO UNIX kernel to an IDE hard drive.
You only need to link if a device is attached to an LSI host adapter.
Follow the instructions in the SCO UNIX Installation documentation.
After the installation completes, proceed to Step
2 in Section 3.4.5,
“Installing the Driver on an Existing SCO OpenServer 5 System,” and
use installpkg to install the lsil device driver.
•
A device is not found.
Reboot and press Ctrl-C when prompted to view the LSI
Configuration Utility. Verify that the device has the correct host
adapter and ID. If the device is not shown, it may be turned off or
there may be a cabling problem.
•
The UNIX system behaves unreliably after the configuration change.
Whenever you change the hardware or software configuration, you
must rebuild the kernel. Use the
/etc/conf/cf.d directory and type
the following command:
./link_unix
•
An error message occurs during the rebuild of the kernel.
Reinstall the proper lsil driver using the installpkg utility. Relink
the kernel and reboot the system.
•
The root disk is not found or the partitioning of the disk fails.
If the boot drive is a disk, use the BIOS Configuration Utility to check
that the disk is assigned ID 0 and is configured to host adapter 0,
LUN 0.
