PROBLEM: (QAR 45730 and QAR 46647) (Patch ID: OSF405-400066) ******** DDR partially builds some device records. This problem is extremely hard to detect, as the creation of device records usually happens silently in the kernel as it encounters new devices. Symptoms of this error may be slight oddities in device behavior. Unfortunately, the extent to which behavior is affected cannot be predicted. The problem can be seen most easily by executing the following: Invoke "ddr_config -s disk DEC RZ28B". The (failing) output should look as follows: Building Device Information for: Type = disk Vendor ID: "DEC" Product ID: "RZ28B" Applying Modifications from Device Record for : Vendor ID: "DEC" Product ID: "RZ28" TagQueueDepth = 0x4a The (correct) output should look as follows: Building Device Information for: Type = disk Vendor ID: "DEC" Product ID: "RZ28B" Applying Modifications from Device Record for : Vendor ID: "DEC" Product ID: "RZ28" TagQueueDepth = 0x4a Applying Modifications from Device Record for : Vendor ID: "DEC" Product ID: "RZ28B" TagQueueDepth = 0x40 PROBLEM: (Patch ID: OSF405-069B) ******** Boot capability for new hardware support requires a new genvmunix. This patch delivers an updated genvmunix for that purpose. PROBLEM: (QAR 45730 and QAR 46647) (Patch ID: OSF405-400066) ******** The "ddr_config -x" option fails to compile a cam_data.c file from a version prior to DIGITAL UNIX v4.0. The following error messages will be reported: ddr_config.ORIG: Line 3233: Syntax Error ddr_config.ORIG: Line 3233: Failed parsing DENSITY_TBL entry Conversion of /sys/data/cam_data.c failed. Line numbers are relative to the temporary file /tmp/cam_data.tmp Looking at the /tmp/cam_data.tmp file, the error occurs between two records separated by a comma. For example: TYPE Record_A = { .... }, <----- fails here Record_B = { ... }; PROBLEM: (ZUO101134/QAR 52226) (Patch ID: OSF405-066) ******** This patch is an upgrade/replacement for the Ethernet driver when a DE500-AA Fast Ethernet interface is used. This driver, when used with a DE500-AA containing the DECchip 21140-AC, will allow filtering of greater than 16 multicast addresses and fixes the previous limitations to Hash/Perfect mode filtering. PROBLEM: (Patch ID: OSF405-069) ******** This patch adds support for DE500-BA 10/100 Ethernet adapter. Support for the DE500-BA requires recognition of a new PCI device ID and also requires specific code to operation the device. PROBLEM: (Patch ID: OSF405-069) ******** This patch fixes occasional machine checks encountered during use of the KZPAM-CA or KZPAM-DA controllers. This required performing a receive process restart instead of a chip reset. Please refer to APPENDIX B at the end of the cumulative README. PROBLEM: (HPAQB16E6) (Patch ID: OSF405-400218) ******** The DDR subsystem did not appropriately handle SCSI devices that return non-standard device types. The standard device types range from 0 (disk device) to 9 (Communications Device). For example, a custom SCSI device that returns a device type of UNKNOWN (0x1f) could panic the system with the following message: "trap: invalid memory read access from kernel mode" A device with a non-standard device type would ordinarily not be shown as present on the system as it would require a custom SCSI device driver to access it (one which does not come with the base operating system). Note: Non-standard device types are supported by CAM in pre-v4.0 releases. PROBLEM: (Patch ID: OSF405-097) ******** This provides latent support for TZS20. PROBLEM: (QAR 54987) (Patch ID: OSF405-108) ******** This patch is an enhancement to the Ethernet driver for the DE500-XA Fast Ethernet Interface. This patch improves the failover time in an ASE environment when the cluster members use DE500-XA interfaces. PROBLEM: (QAR 52217, QAR 54680) (Patch ID: OSF405-376) ******** The maximum block size (MaxTransferSize) for "unknown" tape devices specified in the /etc/ddr.dbase file was previously limited to 64 kilobytes. This would cause applications, such as back-up utilities, to fail if a block size of greater than 64 kilobytes was specified. This patch modifies the value of MaxTransferSize to 16 megabytes to support devices and applications that can support larger block sizes. PROBLEM: (QAR 55766 QAR 60909) (Patch ID: OSF405-420) ******** This patch fixes the following problems that may occur on some DE500 adapters: o The hardware setup operation may interrupt a pending ARP packet transmission. o If the cable to the adapter is not connected, the hardware setup operation will not execute.
