============================================================================= AST RESEARCH, INC. TECHNICAL BULLETIN #0696A 08-16-91 ============================================================================= SCO UNIX BOOT FAILURE WITH MEMORY EXPANSION BOARD PROBLEM: Under SCO UNIX 3.2 version 2.0, system will hang intermittently during boot if memory expansion board is present, AST part number 202387-001. AFFECTED SYSTEM BOARDS: All system boards with the following part numbers: 202356-004 and 202360-001 CAUSE: During UNIX installation the software will check for known devices and will activate a driver for that device. UNIX mistakenly identifies a device that is not present, and activates a driver for it. This causes the system to hang, with the following error message: WDHA-OUT: command byte 01 rejected WDHA-OUT: command byte 07 rejected SOLUTION: The new release of SCO UNIX 3.2 version 3.0 resolves this problem and is scheduled to be released by SCO in July, 1991. NOTE: A temporary solution would be to slow the system down during the boot process, and resume normal speed after completion of boot sequence, which would be the login prompt. This can be accomplished by using the <CTRL> <ALT> <DOWN ARROW> and <CTRL> <ALT> <UP ARROW> sequence. For further information on speed commands, please refer to your systems user manual.
