9255.0. "4.0B/8200 at boot: "NVRAM parameters invalid"" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (Jason Orendorf) Fri Mar 21 1997 18:22

Customer just upgraded his 8200 from 4.0A to 4.0B.  At boot, gets messages:

	isp1 at pci0 slot 1
 	isp1: QLOGIC ISP1040 - Differential Mode
 	isp1: Firmware revision 2.10 (loaded from driver)
 	cam_logger: CAM_ERROR packet
 	cam_logger: bus 1
 	isp_init
 	NVRAM parameters invalid, using driver Fast10 defaults
 	isp1: Failed to enable fast RAM timing.
 	scsi1 at isp1 slot 0

Installed the latest 4.0B patch kit (at least OSF410-405045 - isp1020 patch)
which eliminated other errors he was getting, but not these.  The machine
has 3 other isp busses, all ISP1020s.  Only the ISP1040 is showing these
messages.  I had him upgrade the firmware to the latest as well as rerunning
ECU.  No changes.

Ideas appreciated.

9255.1Use eeromcfg-UtilityFURKA::"[email protected]"Frank LinkerTue Mar 25 1997 07:3512
Hi Jason,

I had the same problem at an A100a. There I have to use "isp1020_edit -sd" to reset the ISP1020A to it's factory defaults.
Durin my search at internal Altavista ( altavista.pa.dec.com ) for keyword "nvram parameters invalid", I found an article to use the command "eeromcfg" at a TurboLaser to fix that problem.

May that help ya !
