SCO UNIX and the VX FT
SCO UNIX 386 VR 3.2.0 will install and run successfully on the VX FT,
including the INTEL(TM) 80486 processor versions.
However there is a version of the Adaptec SCSI card firmware which will
not allow UNIX to install. The problem causes the following error message during
installation:-
WARNING: aha:adaptor 0 SR_DETECTED, status=00,intr=88
the system then PANICs.
If you experience the above problem, please contact UNIX support who
will supply the correct firmware for your Adaptec SCSI card.
The PROM in question is in position U13 on the Adaptec card - the
correct revision is labelled 421701-00 2B, whilst the incorrect revision is labelled
421701-00 A.
| N.B. |
It is important that you load your reference disk prior to
installation and make sure that the Adaptec SCSI card is located on interrupt 15, before
commencing installation. MS-DOS Rel 3, Reference disk revision 9 and MS-DOS Rel 4,
Reference disk revision 1 both set the Adaptec SCSI card to interrupt 14 - this causes
UNIX to hang on installation (refer also to I.P.B. 3038). |
