SRI(4)  —  Unix Programmer’s Manual

NAME

sri − DR11-C IMP interface

SYNOPSIS

/sys/conf/SYSTEM:
NSRIsri_controllers# SRI DR11c ARPAnet IMP

DESCRIPTION

DIAGNOSTICS

sri%d: not alive.  The initialization routine was entered even though the device did not autoconfigure.  This indicates a system problem. 

sri%d: can’t initialize.  Insufficient UNIBUS resources existed to initialize the device.  This is likely to occur when the device is run on a buffered data path on an 11/750 and other network interfaces are also configured to use buffered data paths, or when it is configured to use buffered data paths on an 11/730 (which has none). 

sri%d: imp doesn’t respond, ibf=%b.  The driver attempted to initialize the device, but the IMP failed to respond after 5 tries.  Check the cabling. 

sri%d: stray xmit interrupt, csr=%b.  An interrupt occurred when no output had previously been started. 

sri%d: output error, csr=%b.  The device indicated a problem sending data on output. 

sri%d: input error, ibf=%b.  The device indicated a problem receiving data on input. 

sri%d: bad length=%d.  An input operation resulted in a data transfer of less than 10 or more than 1008 bytes of data into memory (according to the word count register).  This should never happen as the maximum size of a host-IMP message is 1018 bytes.
