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.
