The reason this is interesting is that I'm seeing that message on my
uV2 simulator, and I'm quite sure the simulated DEQNA doesn't have
whatever real-hardware issue that code was designed to work around.
This leads me to suspect a bug somewhere else that's leading to packets
sitting on sc_inq but not getting pushed to the hardware rather than a
hardware bug after all.
Thoughts? Is anyone else seeing that on a simulated DEQNA?
Not sure, but I think I've seen it on my 4000/90 as well (well, ze0
instead of qe0), which would suggest that the code gets triggered for
a lot more than the original hardware bug of the DEQNA.
Hi. I've also been seeing this when trying to run NetBSD on my VAX
4000/90 too, using ze0:
ze0: xmit logic died, resetting...
This happened when using a diskless environment that booted fine, but
started to fail with this error message on the first heavy read/write
operations on NFS...
That is what stopped me from playing with my beautiful VAXstation
4000/90 that is laying around since 7.0 days...
There are some old messages in port-vax about that, probably an
unrelated bug?
