1828.0. "defea-aa problem on alphaserver 2100" by DAIVC::SAPTONO (Digital Indonesia) Mon Oct 09 1995 11:09

    Hi All,
    
    My Customer has 3 alphaserver 2100 using DEFPA-AA will connect to 
    DEF6M-MA. I've already  done ( from notes 1607.6 ) and device online
    known as fwa0.
    If we try to active this device I got :
    
    %system-F-medofl, medium is offline
                      fatal hardware error 
    
    What happend with this hardware....?
    Any respond or pointer will be appreciated.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Saptono.

Does it happen on more than one of the 2100s?

Can you post the results of:

  $ ana/sys
  sda> show lan/cou/dev=fra

I'd start replacing hardware.  I don't know of any driver problems that would cause
an init failure.  The init failure says that the device failed to respond (ie. no
interrupt) during initialization.  Also, I assume that even though the note says
DEFEA, you really have DEFPAs, since the device name is FW.
