499.0. "PSE V1.1 if_fta.o driver" by GIDDAY::LEUNG () Tue Mar 18 1997 19:45

    <Cross-posted to HPC and Fortran conferences>
    
    UNIX V3.2F
    PSE V1.1
    DEFPA FDDI controller
    
    Customer has a problem where the FDDI driver if_fta.o stops working
    instead of re-initializing itself after receiving illegal length
    packets. For a base UNIX V3.2F (one without PSE), this is solved
    with patch OSF370-350145 which provides a new if_fta.o file. However,
    we cannot use this file on a system where PSE is installed given that
    the kernel cannot be built (linking error ftaoutputFAST undefined).
    
    Is there an equivalent patch for system where PSE is installed?
    I checked V1.2 but the driver if_fta.o looks to be the same as in V1.1
    
    Thanks

499.1EOL for UDP_PRIMEHPCGRP::BENSONFri Mar 28 1997 09:166
    
    Please de-install UDP and rebuild the kernel.
    
    Very few customers use the UDP_PRIME support supplied in
    PSE V1.2 and earlier. As of V1.3 UDP_PRIME support is being
    dropped.
