srm reports dva0 is an illegal device
Does anyone know what could be causing this problem please:-
I installed (and later removed) a PCI SCSI controller on my digital server
7305 and switched the CD-ROM drive. At one point I added a SCSI hard drive
as a second device onto the CDROM cable (then later removed it).
Somewhere along the line the floppy drive started lighting up during the
boot sequence, and staying lit.
I have tried a known good floppy drive on the cable and all the connections
seem OK, but SRM is reporting it as an "illegal device".
When I do a SHOW * there are a number of variables set that I cannot find in
the SRM section of the user guide for the 7305 and I suspect they may be
declaring the device illegal.
I have the following entries that I don't understand:-
d_group field
d_omit
d_passes 1
d_runtime 0
d_verbose 0
exdep_data 5555555555555555
exdep_location 0
exdep_size 0
exdep_space pmem
exdep_type 3
ffauto OFF
ffnext OFF
licence MU
ocp_test
pci_arbmode Round-Robin
pci_req64
srm2dev
Has anyone come across this problem with a floppy drive, could it be related
to the declared variables, how can I solve it?
Any help much appreciated.
Simon
