pnt0-2 PCI search specified, PCI device not found!
Explanation: The driver cannot locate the Ethernet controller on the PCI bus.
Action: Perform the following steps

1.  Run netconfig to search for another Ethernet controller.
2.  Verify that the Ethernet enable jumper is set to the default  (enable) position.
3.  If the problem persists, go to General Checkout/Diagnostics QAPlus/PRO to run the  diagnostic utility.

pnt0-6 Cannot allocate memory for the adapter during an interrupt. Please check the Streams parameters.
Explanation: The system is out of Streams memory blocks.
Action: Perform the following steps

1.  Use the CRASH utility to  increase the number of Streams memory blocks for the failing size.
2.  Modify the IRQ settings in the Configuration/Setup utility programs,  or run netconfig to  match the hardware settings.

pnt0-6 Cannot allocate memory for the adapter during an interrupt! Please check the Streams parameters.
Explanation: On a SunSoft Solaris system, this message indicates that the system is out of Streams memory blocks.
Action: Use the CRASH utility to increase the number of Streams memory blocks for the failing size.

pnt0-7 Cannot allocate memory for the adapter during reset! Please check the Streams parameters.
Explanation: The system is out of Streams memory blocks.
Action: Use the CRASH utility to increase the number of Streams memory blocks for the failing size.

pnt0-11 device not found!
Explanation: The driver cannot find an Ethernet controller.
Action: Perform the following steps

1.  Verify that the Ethernet enable jumper is set to the default  (enable) position.
2.  Go to General Checkout/Diagnostics QAPlus/PRO to run the diagnostic utility.

pnt0-12 device failed checksum test!
Explanation: The driver cannot find an Ethernet controller.
Action: Perform the following steps

1.  Verify that the Ethernet enable jumper is set to the default  (enable) position.
2.  Go to General Checkout/Diagnostics QAPlus/PRO to run the diagnostic utility.

pnt0-13 add_intr_handler failed! Interrupts already enabled.
Explanation: The IRQ specified or found conflicts with other devices in the system.
Action: Perform the following steps

1.  Modify the hardware settings.
2.  Run netconfig to match the hardware settings.

pnt0-14 Cannot locate hardware.
Explanation: The SunSoft Solaris driver cannot find any Ethernet controller.
Action: Perform the following steps

1.  Verify that the Ethernet enable jumper is set to the default  (enable) position.
2.  Go to General Checkout/Diagnostics QAPlus/PRO to run the diagnostic utility.

pnt0-15 No more devices to open.
Explanation: The SunSoft Solaris driver cannot find any more Ethernet controllers.
Action: Perform the following steps

1.  Verify that additional IBM PCI Ethernet adapters  are present or replace the Ethernet adapter  that fails to respond.
2.  Go to General Checkout/Diagnostics QAPlus/PRO to run the diagnostic utility.

pnt0-17 Device fault... Reset initiated!
Explanation: The SunSoft Solaris driver has been reset due to device fault.
Action: Perform the following steps

1.  Verify that additional IBM PCI Ethernet  adapters are present or replace the  PCnet card that fails to respond.
2.  Go to General Checkout/Diagnostics QAPlus/PRO to run the diagnostic utility.

pnt0-19 IRQ found for PCnet hardware does not match space.c!
Explanation: This is a warning message referring to the IRQ found in the system.
Action: Ignore this message if you are sure that this is what you want to do. Otherwise, run netconfig to match the hardware settings.

pnt0-19 IRQ found for PCnet hardware does not match pnt.conf!
Explanation: This is a warning message referring to the IRQ that the SunSoft Solaris driver found in the system.
Action: Ignore this message if you are sure that this is what you want to do. Otherwise, run netconfig to match the hardware settings.

pnt0-20 add_intr_handler failed! Unknown interrupt type.
Explanation: The IRQ specified or found conflicts with other devices in the system.
Action: Perform the following steps

1.  Modify the hardware settings.
2.  Run netconfig to search for another Ethernet controller.

pnt0-21 add_intr_handler failed! Out of range interrupt number.
Explanation: The IRQ specified or found conflicts with other devices in the system.
Action: Perform the following steps

1.  Modify the hardware settings.
2.  Run netconfig to search for another  Ethernet controller.

1.  Modify the hardware settings.
2.  Run netconfig to search for another Ethernet controller.

pnt0-23 add_intr_handler failed! Vector already occupied.
Explanation: The IRQ specified or found conflicts with other devices in the system.
Action: Perform the following steps

1.  Modify the hardware settings.
2.  Run netconfig to search for another Ethernet controller.

pnt0-24 add_intr_handler failed! Vector already shared at different IPL.
Explanation: The IRQ specified or found conflicts with other devices in the system.
Action: Perform the following steps

1.  Modify the hardware settings.
2.  Run netconfig to search for another Ethernet controller.

pnt0-26 The DMA number is not necessary for PCI device.
Explanation: The IBM PCI Ethernet adapter does not require a DMA setting.
Action: Edit the SPACE.C file to delete the DMA parameter.

pnt0-29 The IRQ number is already in use by another
Explanation: The IBM PCI Ethernet adapter
Explanation: The specified IO address is already in use

pnt0-31 IO address is not necessary for the PCI device.
Explanation: The I/O address specified is not required.
Action: Remove the assigned IO address specified for the Ethernet controller.
