64-bit driver fails to attach in Sol-9

Hi,
I have a driver which I can compile, install and use succesfully on sparc (Enterprise 450) in Sol 7 and 8 in both 32 and 64-bit kernels (it also runs in 2.6 and in i386 2.6, 7 and 8 32-bit modes but never mind).
Sol-9 32-bit is also OK but with 64-bit, when I run add_drv, it loads (I can see cmn_err() messages from my ini() routine) but it fails to probe or attach. I see fini() traces too but nothing from my probe() or attach. devfsadm returns error 11.
If I do a simple modload, then I can see the init() traces so I assume it has linked OK. modinfo shows the driver is loaded. modunload removes it and I then see the fini() traces.
Any ideas?
Just to cover the bases mentioned elsewhere in this forum:
I am using Forte C 6U2 with -xarch=v9 -D_KERNEL -xO3
I am putting the driver into /platform/sun4u/kernel/drv/sparcv9 and I have an entry in /etc/devlink.tab.
I have tried putting it into /usr/kernel/drv/sparcv9 to no avail
I use the following to load it:
add_drv -m"* 0666 root root" -i'"pci1011,1065"' e8k
I don't have a driver.conf file as it is PCI (and none of the other platforms need it)
There's nothing interesting in /var/adm/messages apart from my cmn_err() traces.
In fact I am using exactly the same methodology and build/install scripts that work so well in Sol-7/8 64-bit.
TIA
Bob

Did you had a look at the "compatible:" property in the "prtconf -pv" output > for your pci device? Does it contain the string 'pci1011,1065' ? Yes, it does - here is the entry from prtconf -pv (I also tried the secondary address EACA,8000 with add_drv - which works on Sol-i386 - but no progress):

Add_drv fails to attach: probe not called after init

i am trying to add_drv a simple pseudo-device driver. i have basically
copied the pio sample driver code available elsewhere on this website.
i've compiled using forte c5.0, and am trying to load on an ultra 5 running solaris 8.
i have tried loading both 32 bit and 64 bit versions.
as this is a pseudo driver (there is no real device yet... i just want to test the load/unload stuff), i have an xxprobe routine which always returns DDI_PROBE_SUCCESS.
let's say the driver executable is named relidrv, which i copied to /usr/kernel/drv or drv/sparcv9 (depending on 32 vs 64 bit'ness of the build)
i have a simple relidrv.conf which simply contains name="relidrv", parent="pseudo" and instance=0.
then, as root:
add_drv -v relidrv
gives me:
exit status = 0
devfsadm: driver failed to attach: relidrv
exit status = 11
Warning: Driver (relidrv) successfully added to system but failed to attach
i put some cmn_err(CE_WARN,...) calls in init(), probe(), and attach(). the init() call returns 0, all well and good. however, according to my cmn_err output, probe is never called, neither is attach.
suggestions?

in a previous thread by murraystokely, the answer appears. a very big thanks to both mause and murray...
the problem was that the driver itself lived in /usr/kernel/drv/sparcv9, but the conf file should have gone into /usr/kernel/drv.
hint for whoever writes the next revision to the Writing Device Drivers manual... mention this!

SCSI target driver won't attach

I am writing a SCSI target driver for a data acquisition system with Solaris 8 X86. When I try the add_drv command: add_drv ds21 I get the following errors:
devfsadm: driver failed to attach: ds21
Warning: Driver (ds21) successfully added to system but failed to attach
I probably need to include an alias with the add_drv command, but, I have used the prtconf -vp command to list the devices names however, none of the devices tied to the SCSI bus show up on the list. Any suggestions?

I think that you are missing entries in your driver.conf file for the devices that your driver is controlling. See the bst sample driver.
If you have just one scsi bus, it should take the form
name="ds21" class="scsi" target=t lun=0;
where t is the SCSI Target ID
If you have more than one scsi bus, it should take the form
name="sd21" parent="/sbus@1,f8000000/esp@0,8000" target=t lun=0;

My driver is not attached!!!

I'm trying to modify HBA driver source
I compiled my modified source and using add_drv command I tried to install compiled driver.
but the following messages were displayed in monitor
devfsadm : driver failed to attach : testglm
Warning : Driver successfully added to system but failed to attach
driver installed
What is the problem???

Thank you so so much for your answer.
I used command add_drv in add_drv -i 'pci1000,f' testglm
but I couldn't attach my driver.
My testglm steps from original glm source
and glm driver is automatically loaded when system boot
So When I add my testglm driver to system , Is is conflicted with operating glm driver???

Pseudo driver: Failed to process interrupt

I wrote a very basic, hardware-less device driver. It is similar to the ramdisk example. I'm using 64-bit Solaris 8. The device name is "pkb" and the file pkb.conf (in /usr/kernel/drv/) has the following line:
name="pkb" parent="pseudo" instance=0;
When I execute add_drv -i "pkb" /usr/kernel/drv/sparcv9/pkb I get the following error message on the console:
unix: WARNING: Failed to process interrupt for pkb0 due to down-rev of nexus driver pseudo0
The device does however get an entry the /dev directory (/dev/pkb -> ../devices/pseudo/pkb@0:pkb)
When I execute an open() and then an ioctl() on this new device, ioctl returns a -1 yet the operation appears to work (I get the value I requested). errno = 3 after ioctl() fails. Subsequent ioctl()s do not work at all and errno = 22;
So, after spending many days on the web AND paying for Sun support, I fail to find a reference to the message "unix: WARNING: Failed to process interrupt ...."
Any ideas?

Hi,
Changes were made in Solaris 8 to the way bus nexus drivers process addition of interrupt handlers on sun4u. Consequently there is a check in the code to ensure the version of the nexus driver being called is at the correct level. If its not, you get the message you report.
The pseudo nexus driver doesnt support interrupts, and the check fails.
(If you like playing with kadb, the message comes from within i_ddi_intr_ctlops, which is called by (i_) ddi_add_intr.)
Have you checked the return status from ddi_add_intr? Normally if this fails you driver should then fail the attach, returning DDI_FAILURE.
To test an interrupt handler, you'll need to write a driver for a piece of hardware.
Its not obvious to me what your ioctl routine is doing. Can you post the code for it?
Hope that helps a bit.

Hard drive failed - need to get music off my iPod

Greetings:
I have an iPod Video, 80 gigabyte.
A while back, I had a hard drive fail which was storing all my music to sync to the iPod. Now, I have the music on the iPod, but need to get it back into iTunes, without iTunes deleting the music upon sync.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Paul

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

T61 DVD/CD-RW drive fails to read and crashes

Hello Everyone, I hope people still visit this area of the forums!
I've highlighted and bolded the symptoms to make them easier to find.
I recently purchased a T61 6457-C15 on eBay, and have been in the proccess of setting up and customizing it to suit my tastes. When I recieved the laptop, it looked as though Windows had been restored to original factory state, plus some free software, so I proceeded under that assumption. First I used Windows Update to download all the updates that it could find including IE8. I wanted to have an anti-virus program running on my computer before I used a browser to access the internet. I ran IE8 and went straight to the Microsoft Security Essentials website and downloaded the Install program. At this point I tried to remove the pre-installed and expired Norton Internet Security using the built-in uninstall, but it failed. A message box popped saying that I needed to put the Norton installation disc in the CD-ROM drive so that the uninstall program could find a Norton support file. My computer did not come with any discs, but my mothe had bought Norton 2008, so I took that disc and put it in the drive. The drive started spinning right away, and the uninstall program found the file it was looking for in a few seconds. The support file directed me to the Norton website to get their removal tool, which removed Norton from my system in short order. Afterwards, I ran the Microsoft Security Essentials install program and got MSE running on my computer before doing anything else.
Then I went to the Lenovo support website and had it auto-detect my system. That took me to the support page for my system, where I went to the "Downloads and Drivers" page. I downloaded Access Connections and ThinkVantage Toolbox for Vista 32-bit (my OS is Vista Business 32-bit). I then used Lenovo System Update to retrieve all the updates it deemed neccessary from Lenovo, including those for itself and system components, both software and firmware. There were 35 or more updates suggested, and I trusted the software, so I started downloading them all. I'm not sure, but I think that a DVD/CD-RW drive update was included in the list, but I can't remember if it was auxiliary software, drivers or firmware. After Lenovo System Update was convinced that it had all the neccessary updates, I downloaded Revo Uninstaller and set about removing uneccassary and unwanted programs from my computer and trimming the startup list. I did not touch any Windows or ThinkVantage components, and I searched each program online, so I'm sure that I did not delete or disable any drivers or system files, or anything from Lenovo. I mainly removed Apple products and non-functional software from my system, including an integrated camera driver (my system does not have an integrated camera) and third-party programs that were already missing files or otherwise inoperable when I got my computer. Up to this point I had been using a gigabit ethernet connection to download software; I had not used the DVD/CD-RW drive except for the one time I specified earlier.
Now that I had my system set up to my liking, including personalization and power settings, I started to install my first program: Command & Conquer the First Decade from a DVD-ROM. When I put the disc in the drive and closed it, it took a few seconds for the drive to spin up, and once it did, it was constantly running at high speed and I could hear the reader constantly moving back and forth quickly. After a few minutes the disc's install menu finally appeared, so I clicked on the install button. I waited several minutes but nothing happened, so I tried to view the contents of the drive by going to My Computer > DVD/CD-RW drive (D, right clicking and selecting explore from the menu options. When I did that, the address bar of the My Computer window started to fill up with a dark gray progress bar and said "loading (D", I think with the drive or disc name after it. After it took several minutes to fill completely, nothing happened. I waited a few more minutes to see if anything would change, (nothing did,) I clicked on the X button in the top right corner of the window to close it. A few minutes and clicks later, the My Computer window was labeled as (not responding), and the window itself became grayed-out. I started Task Manager and tried to close the My Computer window, but the entire Windows Desktop disappeared along with it, saying that it would attempt to restart. Even Task Manager became non-responsive and quit after closing My Computer. After a few minutes of staring at my background (and nothing else), I ejected the disc, and Windows Desktop reappeared immediately and acted as if nothing had ever been wrong.
I checked Device Manager, but neither the DVD/CD-RW drive nor any of the ATA controllers were flagged; in fact they all said they were working properly with up-to-date drivers. I ran the ThinkVantage Toolbox diagnostics on the drive using a data CD, a music CD and a different DVD-ROM, but in each case the drive failed the tests and a message box popped-up saying that the discscould not be read because they were scratched or there was a hardware problem. I checked the discs both before I put them in and after I took them out, and they were not scratched; also, all of the discs are publisher-manufactured from a software or music company. I restarted my computer, booted the Rescue and Recovery option and Ran PC-Doctor from there. I ran the same drive read tests with the same failure results. The entire time the drive was behaving the same way it had when it first failed to read a disc. Next I removed and cleaned the drive both inside and out with a can of compressed air; I also cleaned the ultrabay itself. Finally I tried fixing the problem with Microsoft Fix It, but when it automatically ejected the drive and i put a disc in, the disc became trapped in the drive and Windows froze up like before. I had to restart Windows twice (once with a BSOD) in order to get the disc out. When the disc was removed the computer went back to normal operation once again.
Please help me, my DVD/CD-RW drive is a Matshi ta UJDA775, my operating system is Windows Vista Business and my T61's model number is 6457-C15. I have tried all the troubleshooting fixes and none have worked. I have tried updating drivers and using diagnostic software and they have not worked. I have tried disabling drag-to-disc burning and it has not worked. I have treid removing and cleaning the drive and that has not solved my problem. I did notice that the driver for the "Intel(R) ICH8M-E/M SATA AHCI controller" is the only related driver that can be rolled back, so maybe that might fix it. I'm also wondering if a firmware change caused this, and if so, if there is any way I can undo that. The only other fix I've heard of that I haven't tried is editing the registry, but I'm hesitant to do that. I haven't tried booting from the CD drive because I have no bootable CDs and I'm worried that my computer might get stuck in that mode. I'm hoping that someone can tell me what I can do to try to fix this problem, preferably without wrecking my computer. Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
P.S. Just adding a note; I went through both the Microsoft and Lenovo Update histories and the only related updates I could find were: ThinkPad BIOS update, Easy Eject utility, Intel Matrix Storager Manager driver for Windows (32-bit), and maybe one of the two Intel Chipset Support for Vista updates. I tried rolling back the AHCI driver but it had no effect.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, my problem is fixed, and here's how. I had some trouble figuring out how to contact Lenovo technical support; online options directed me to the IBM support website, which was clearly designed for businesses. Selecting the "Call technical support" option on the Lenovo support website and then choosing my country gave me a 24/7 hotline number. After waiting about five minutes on hold, a nice young fellow by the name of "Tyrese" answered (I maybe misspelling his name), but the connection was so bad that we could barely hear each other. Although he semed eager to help, when I told him my problem the first things he suggested were simple, like cleaning the drive, However, when I told him all of my efforts, described above, to fix the problem myself and read him the log from the Rescue and Recovery diagnostic program, after he checked the error codes against his computer database he promptly replied that the only fix was to send out a new drive. I was happy to have gotten such a successful resolution to a support call in less than fifteen minutes; apparently, all the work I had done trying to solve the problem myself had paid off in a way. Unfortunately, although I had tried to spell out my address for him, some of it got left off of the address label, which caused some trouble in receiving the new drive. Once I got it, I installed it using the uninstall & remove (old drive), shut down, start up, insert & install (new drive) method that I referenced earlier in this topic. I've been using the new drive since then without any trouble, so I guess that the only fix was to replace the drive. Also, I noticed that the new drive was a Hitachi, perhaps a T400/410 or T500/510 Ultrabay Slim drive, which should help me avoid the problems that other users were having with the older Matshi-ta drives. I hope this description helps anyone else having a problem with the optical drives on the T61/61p.

Hp officejet pro l7590 windows 7 32-bit install fails

I have downloaded the HP Officejet Pro Full Feature Software and Driver for windows 7 (32-bit) for my Officejet Pro L7590 connected by USB cable to my computer. I right-click on the downloaded software and select "Run as Administrator". The installation hangs at step 7 of 8 and then shows me that the L7590 printer driver failed to install. When I look in my "Printers And Devices" I see the HP L7590, but right-clicking on it only shows scanner functions (no printer options). And no option to remove printer.
I have tried uninstalling the HP Software and reinstalling the HP Officejet Pro Full Feature Software and Driver as well I have tried installing the HP Officejet Pro Basic Print and Scan Driver from HP, all with the same failed results.
The only way I am able to use the printer is to uninstall all HP software and simply plug the USB cable to my computer. Then a printer driver is loaded and I can print. The problem is that I do not get the "Solution Center" functionality which I need for scanning.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Lou

Just so we get off on the right foot, I am going to have you run through the un-instillation and re-installation of the printer again, but in a thorough and managed way. I would like to ask for information's sake if the PC you are using is a HP computer or another manufacturer. This may be useful in future steps if they are necessary. We will want to remove the PnP drivers (the ones that automatically loaded) as well.
First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it. Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer.
In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.
Then follow this link to download the full feature software and drivers for the printer:

Install that and let me know the result!
Have a great day!

Hard drive failed on original Macbook. No OSX discs came with it. Now what?

I had my hard drive fail on my original Macbook and I didn't get any OSX discs when it came from Apple all those years ago. So do I try and find Tiger, the original OS, or look to upgrade to Leopard? I can't find any answers on what really to do here and I need to get it up and running because it's the first week of school and I don't have a computer (thank goodness for my iphone).
I've looked on Amazon for OSX and found some Leopard. I have 2.0Ghz with 2GB RAM in my Macbook now and will be getting a new hard drive Friday. The Leopards on there run for about $275 new. I was hoping it wouldn't be that much, but I might now have any other options.

I can do a clean install on a new hard drive with the Snow Leopard Upgrade version?
I did a bit of research and found out that you can not without a previous install of Leopard. I did, however, find that the Mac Box Set has a full install DVD AND contains iLife and iWork. It can be found [here|http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC209Z/A].

Hard drive failing on Macbook 13" OS 10.7.3 Need to xfer all files to an iMAC 21.5. How to do this?

Hard drive failing on Macbook 13" OS 10.7.3 Need to xfer all files to an iMAC 21.5. How to do this?

Can you boot the MacBook into FireWire Target Disk mode? That turns it (temporarily) into an expensive hard drive. You can then move files.
Another way would be to use an external hard drive, attach it to the MacBook and user software such as Bombich's Carbon Copy Cloner to copy the hard drive (assuming you have sufficient space on the iMac.)
Best of luck. Please keep your data backed up in the future to avoid this. It'll make your life easier.

W500 w/ Windows 7 64-Bit Ultimate fails to recognize some audio CDs

My DVD/CD drive (a HL-DT-ST_DVDRAM_GSA-U20N) in my Lenovo W500 laptop (running Windows 7 64-Bit Ultimate) fails to recognize some audio CDs.
It recognizes most audio CDs, but a few are not recognized by Windows 7 itself, or by any other program on my computer.
These CDs are recognized by other Windows 7 computers.
I don't think that it's a copy protection issue, since the CDs don't mention any copy protection scheme (and also since they work on other Windows 7 machines).
One CD that wasn't recognized by my machine was the second CD from a two CD set (the first CD was correctly recognized).
I have the latest updates for Windows, and all my programs, drivers, BIOS & firmware.
Thanks.

What kind of behavior are you getting from the drive? If it's spinning up, down, and up again your lens might be dirty or the drive could be failing.
If you do clean the lens, be careful. Do your research first or you might make it worse.
Edit: Replacements are:
42T2511 or 42T2541 (DVD)
42T2543 or 42T2513 (DVD/CD-RW combo)
42T2545, 42T2515 or 42T2551 (DVD-RAM/RW)
You can get the 42T2543 for $23 and the 42T2545 for $45 on eBay.

I have a mac pro 1.1. the main hard drive failed. How do I reload OS X 10.7 back in my computer. the app store will not let me reinstall this os. My computer is not compatible OS x 10.8?

You need to first install the OS your Mac came on the bundled gray disks. Assuming it's Snow Leopard, you could then login into the App Store using your same Apple ID and password to download and install Lion.
If your Mac is a bit older and came with Leopard, 10.5.x, you can bypass that and install Snow Leopard from your retail disk. The only software you'd need to install separately from the gray disks would be the optional software, such as the iLife suite and other titles not included on the retail SL disk.
