OpenVMS ALPDRIV13_061 Alpha CPU_ROUTINES__IKB/GQA/DRIVER ECO Summary

NOTE: An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file. The name of the compressed file will be kit_name-dcx_vaxexe for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha. Once the file is copied to your system, it can be expanded by typing RUN compressed_file. The resultant file will be the OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file which can be used to install the ECO. *OpenVMS] ALPDRIV13_061 Alpha CPU_ROUTINES, IKB/GQA/DRIVER ECO Summary Copyright (c) Digital Equipment Corporation 1996. All rights reserved. PRODUCT: OpenVMS Alpha COMPONENT: SYS$IKBDRIVER SYS$GQADRIVER SYS$CPU_ROUTINES_0902 SOURCE: Digital Equipment Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: ALPDRIV13_061 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: ALPDRIV10_061 For V6.1 SYS$IKBDRIVER, SYS$GQADRIVER, SYS$CPU_ROUTINES_0902 ALPCPU904_062 For V6.1 Images only ALPCPU902_062 For V6.1 Images Only AXPDRIV08_061 (AXPDRIV) AXPDRIV07_061 AXPDRIV06_061 AXPDRIV02_061 AXPDRIV01_061 (CSCPAT_2054) AXPDECW01_061 (CSCPAT_2053) ECO Kit Approximate Size: 667 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS Alpha V6.1, V6.1-1H1, V6.1-1H2 System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: Yes Engineering Note: If you have not previously installed the ALPDRIV10_061 kit and are installing the ALPDRIV13_061 on an Alphaserver 2100 system, you should also install the ALPSCSI04_061 kit. If you have previously installed the ALPDRIV10_061 kit, you do not need to install the ALPDRIV13_061 kit (see problem description for further explanation). CSC NOTE: It is possible that installation of this ECO kit may appear to cause a system to fail to boot. The system may either have an access violation or display the following error: %SYSINIT-F-LOADERR,error loading RMS.EXE status=00000044 If this occurs, installation of the ALPBOOT05_061 ECO kit will be necessary in order for the system to reboot. ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 - V6.1-1H2. This kit addresses the following problems: Problems addressed in ALPDRIV13_061: o All SCSI drivers are being consolidated into a separate Alpha SCSI kit. Since SYS$PKEDRIVER.EXE and SYS$PKTDRIVER.EXE are SCSI drivers, they are being removed from the ALPDRIV10_061 kit and re-issued in the ALPSCSI04_061 kit. There are no new fixes in this kit. If you have previously installed the ALPDRIV10_061 kit you do not need to install the ALPDRIV13_061 kit. Remedial kit ALPDRIV10_061 contained fixes for several problems related to the Alphaserver 2100 system. If you are installing the ALPDRIV13_061 on an Alphaserver 2100 system you should also install the ALPSCSI04_061 remedial kit. o The ALPDRIV10_061 and ALPCPU904_062 remedial kits both contain the V6.1R, SYS$CPU_ROUTINES_0902.EXE image. This kit eliminates the duplication. Problems addressed in ALPDRIV10_061: o Update the SYS$CPU_ROUTINES_0902.EXE image to keep it current with the ALPCPU902_062 remedial kit. There are no new problem fixes in this kit. Problems addressed in AXPDRIV08_061: o The system may crash due to parity errors in SYS$CPU_ROUTINES_0902 which cause memory corruption. Problems addressed in the AXPDRIV06_061 kit: o The AXPDRIV02_061 and AXPDECW01_061 kits addressed common problems but there were image conflicts between the two kits. This kit combines the superseded kits and eliminates the documentation and image problems. Problems Addressed in the AXPDRIV02_061 Kit: o The LK411 rev B01 keyboard is not recognized by the device driver, and certain keys (function keys, editing keys) fail to function, or function incorrectly. NOTE: This problem was incorrectly documented to be fixed by the AXPDRIV02_061 kit. However, this problem was actually corrected by the AXPDECW01_061 kit as noted in the AXPDECW01_061 kit documentation. As discussed in the previous section, the images from AXPDRIV02_061 and AXPDECW01_061 were combined into the AXPDRIV06_061 kit to eliminate this confusion. o Some DEC 2100 A500MP (Sable) systems have been found halted with the message, "machine check in PALmode". It is not possible to obtain a crash dump of this problem. o The Compaq QVision 1024/EISA card is in critically low supply due to an ASIC supply problem. This patch kit adds support for the Compaq Qvision 1280i (isa), 1280e (EISA), and 1280p (PCI) Qvision modules, which are being used as substitute modules for the 1024/EISA. The 1280 modules are identical in functionality to the 1024 module. Sable console must be upgraded to V3.6 prior to installing the 1280i,1280e or 1280p modules. Problems Addressed in the AXPDECW01_061 Kit: o LK411 keyboards (REV B01) shipping with 2100 Server systems do not function correctly. The keyboard is not recognized as an LK450/411 and, as a result, the keyboard is treated as a PC keyboard. Eight of the function keys do not work correctly, two of the main array keys generate incorrect codes, one of the keypad keys is inoperative, and the editing keys are in the wrong positions. Problems Addressed in ALPCPU902_062 for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1, V6.1-1H1, V6.1-1H2: o Intermittent system failures may occur due to the incorrect handling of a correctable memory error. The failure appears as an INVEXCEPTN crash. o A system crash may occur during an attempt to queue a lock request against an associated resource. The crash occurs due to a corrupt R0 register. INSTALLATION NOTES: In order for the corrections in this kit to take effect, the system must be rebooted. If the system is a member of a VMScluster, the entire cluster should be rebooted.
