- Ok, this might be of use to someone and I hope I've got my facts right or
- I'll disappear in crackling blue flames of at least 10 megaehuds in power.
-
- One of our customers just bought VMS/SNA and two DPV-11s for his VAX 4100.
- On loading up VMS/SNA we get a bugcheck when we try and turn the SNA line on
- (in SNANCP). The bugcheck is ASYNCHRONOUS MEMORY WRITE ERROR and the image
- running is LES$ACP. The version of VMS is V5.5-2HW.
-
- We also get the same bugcheck when he tries to run a third-party package which
- has its own DPV-11 driver (thats why there's two, see?), only the image running
- is the third-party package DPV-11 driver. Theres not a conflict because we can
- reproduce the bugcheck running either package up without the other.
-
- We get on to our friendly Digital Customer Services person who connects us with
- the SNA group in the UK. Seems like theres a known problem with SYSGEN loading
- third-party drivers, on a 4100. Now, the third-party package driver is
- understandable but a DPV-11 with UHDRIVER is not what I'd call a "third-party
- item" but what the hell...
-
- Any way, we got the patch along with a new version of VMS/SNA, I think 2.1-3
- (definitely called SKIT03 anyway). The patch is CSCPAT1024 and they fixed the
- problem - both packages worked perfectly.
-
- Thanks to Digital for getting us the kits overnight, and giving me a worry-free
- weekend!
