573.2AS255 PCI timeout address??SIOG::TMCKEOWNMon Feb 17 1997 09:0210
    I have a machine check crash on a AS255 that lists a time out on the 
    address 88100070 in the EPIC_PEAR register, how do I determine the PCI
    option that timed out?? It is not clear to me how to do tis from the .1
    reply...
    
    
    Thanks,

573.3graphics card in shared-interrupt PCI slot?WRKSYS::RICHARDSONMon Feb 17 1997 12:1914
    I forwarded this one off to one of the device driver people (who may
    not be in today since it is a holiday for most non-DECcies...).  In the
    meantime, a few questions for you.  Is the graphics device in the AS255
    a TGA2?  The address you mention would be assigned to one, if you have
    one (the video valid register).  If you do have a TGA2, make sure you
    have not installed it in the PCI slot that is closest to the
    motherboard.
    
    It would be useful if you could tell us that operating system and
    version the victim system is running, what version of firmware, and
    what version of Open3D is installed, as well as what PCI cards are
    installed and which slots they are in.

573.4Som info requested....SIOG::TMCKEOWNMon Feb 17 1997 12:5616
    Hi Charlotte,
    Thanks for response.....I have some of the info you requested...
    System is running Digital UNIX V4.0B, some of the PCI slot info is
    Slot 12 - NIC DE450
    Slot 13 - TGA2 Graphics card
    
    I am unsure of the relation of slot 12,13 to physical location. Someone
    else was gathering info. I do not have Firmware revs etc. but the
    system is only installed 4/5 weeks ago. I will check out location of
    TGA2 physical slot...as a matter of interest how did you related the
    address to the TGA2 module???
    
    Thanks

573.5inside knowledge of the addressWRKSYS::RICHARDSONMon Feb 17 1997 15:1010
    I know that the TGA2 gets mapped to those physical addresses; I do the
    Xserver support for that graphics board, so I have to look at the
    addresses in DAS traces and such.  The Xserver does not use the address
    you have in there anyhow, though - only the device driver uses that
    one.  I think slot 13 is the top one, which is an OK place for the TGA2
    to be (that's where mine is).
    
    Make sure you have installed Open3D.
