6.3.5 Troubleshooting
Some potential problems and their suggested solutions are:
System locks up at boot time.
•
Check for conflicts with other ASPI managers.
•
Check for correct loading sequence in the CONFIG.SYS file.
•
Reboot the system.
The device driver does not recognize one of the nonboot SCSI
peripherals (system may lock up).
•
Make sure the drivers were installed in the correct sequence.
•
Make sure the drivers’ entries in the CONFIG.SYS file have the correct
path to the drivers.
•
Power down all units in the system.
•
Make sure all SCSI devices have unique ID numbers.
•
Make sure both ends of the SCSI bus are terminated.
•
Check all cable and power connections.
•
Reboot the system.
/VERBOSE
or
/V Causes more detailed information to appear on the monitor, after the ASPI8XX.SYS
driver is initialized, during a system boot. For example, the following information may
be displayed (all on one line) after using the
/VERBOSE or /V option:
53C875 Rev 3 at PCI ID 15, Bus 0, Dev/Func 70h, CMD=0117h,
SCRIPTS=FFFBE000h
This option is useful when multiple adapters are present in the system, and the PCI
Device ID, the PCI Bus number, and the PCI Device/Function number for each
adapter needs to be known. This information is required to use the
/EXCLUDE option
already described in this section.
Syntax: /VERBOSE
To see more detailed adapter information displayed when you boot, the line in the
CONFIG.SYS file that loads ASPI8XX.SYS should look like this:
DEVICE=C:[PATH]ASPI8XX.SYS /VERBOSE
