8.4 Troubleshooting

Some potential problems and their suggested solutions are:

Loading SCO UNIX to an IDE hard drive.

You only need to link if you have a SCSI device attached to an LSI Logic
host adapter. Follow the instructions in the SCO UNIX Installation
documentation. Once the installation has completed, go to Step

1

in

Section 8.3.2, “Existing System Installation,”

and use the

installpkg

to

install your SDMS driver.

A SCSI device is not found.

Reboot and press

Ctrl-C

to view the SCSI BIOS Configuration

Utility.

Verify the device is on the correct host adapter and ID.

If the device is not shown, then it is probably turned off or a cabling
problem exists.

UNIX system behaves unreliably after a configuration change.

Whenever the hardware or software configuration is altered, you must
rebuild the kernel. Go to the directory

/etc/conf/cf.d

and type:

./link_unix

to rebuild the kernel.

An error message occurs during the rebuild of the kernel.

Reinstall the proper SDMS driver using the

installpkg

utility.

Remember to relink the kernel.

Reboot the system.
