LAN Error Messages 

Listed below are the messages that are generated by the token ring driver
or token ring card.  Depending on the logging configuration for the Token
Ring Link subsystem, these messages are logged to the console, to disk,
or both.  These messages have the following format:

Internal driver error in SYSLINK (LANWARN ####) or (LANERR ####)

where #### is an error number.  The messages are listed in numerical
order according to the error number.

10           MESSAGE      Unable to obtain an I/O Services timer.

             CAUSE        A call to obtain a timer resource returned an
                          error.  Too many timers may be in use.

             ACTION       If you suspect your system might be low on timer
                          resources because of heavy loading, try

                          fail, try warmstarting your system.  If the
                          problem persists, a system dump will be
                          required.  Call your Hewlett-Packard support
                          contact.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

11           MESSAGE      Unable to release an I/O Services timer.

             CAUSE        The driver tried to free a timer that was not
                          recognized by the system as valid.  Memory data
                          corruption may have occurred.

                          Hewlett-Packard support contact.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

12           MESSAGE      Unable to release an I/O Services message frame.

             CAUSE        A call to the system message freeing routine
                          returned an error.  The port may belong to a
                          process that no longer exists or is not
                          operating with the required capabilities.  Also,
                          the message frame may not have been recognized
                          by the system as a valid message frame.

                          another process.

             CAUSE        A call to a system message SEND routine returned
                          an error.  The destination port may belong to a
                          process that no longer exists or is not
                          operating with required capabilities.

17           MESSAGE      Unable to obtain a step data structure from
                          driver internal resources.

             CAUSE        All steps are in use and wait for DMA
                          completion.  The driver may be low on steps
                          because of heavy LAN traffic.

             ACTION       Ignore this problem unless other problems are
                          occurring.  If you are experiencing other

                          in error.  The destination port may belong to a
                          process that no longer exists or is not
                          operating with required capabilities.

20           MESSAGE      Unable to release buffer manager buffer.

             CAUSE        The driver tried to free memory that the buffer
                          manager did not recognize as a valid buffer
                          because of a driver problem or memory data
                          corruption.  Also, the driver may have tried to
                          free a buffer that is already freed.

             ACTION       System dump required.  Call your Hewlett-Packard
                          support contact.
