S10 HW 1/06, bge driver non-functional

Hello,
I'm having a problem with a new installation of Solaris 10 (HW 1/06) on a Fujitsu Siemens ESPRIMO P5905. It's a fairly new model x64 box. The system installed fine, but the on-board Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet is non-functional. I've tried both the Broadcom bcme driver and the Sun bge driver, plus I've installed the latest patches from Sunsolve (118844-30, 122028-02) with no luck. The system finds the card and appears to receive packets but not send.
Is there any way I can report a bug without a Support Contract from Sun?
The card is an on-board PCI-E chip and works fine under Linux 2.6 or Windows Server 2003. The PCI ID is pci11e4,1677 which is listed in /etc/driver_aliases for the latest (patched) bge driver.
One other detail are the following messages from the bge driver on load:
ddi_intr_get_supported_types(): Returned 3
Using legacy interrupt type
bge_add_legacy_intrs
Thanks in advance for any help...

  • DVD Drive Non-Function Mac Mini 3,1 (late 2009)

    Hi
    The DVD drive in my Mac Mini has recently become non-functional, "About this Mac" sees the drive fine,

    But when you insert a disc there is no response, it does not see to attempt to read it just ejects after about 20-30 seconds.
    Any suggestions as to what could be the problem? This issue started sometime after I upgraded the memory, but I cannot be sure that the two things are connected as I very rarely use the DVD drive and the first time I tried to use it was several months later.
    Many Thanks

    Optical drives are pretty short lived in my experience.
    Might try a cleaning Disc.
    Have you done a PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...

  • CD/DVD drive non responsive

    Hi, I'm having, what seems to be a very common problem, with my cd/dvd rw drive that came as standard with my hp pavilion elite desktop pc, albeit with a slight twist in comparison with others here.
    My dvd drive has functioned perfectly since i bought the system just over 5 months ago, today, for the first time i tried to burn a media dvd using windows dvd maker. half way through burning the disk the process stalled with an error message claiming the disk was corrupted and to insert another, healthy disk into the drive to continue burning, i chose to cancel the burning process thinking its was the windows dvd maker program. The disks are of high quality, not the cheap kind and i assumed micros**t was to blame. I thought little of it, these things happen but immediately afterwards I went to use the drive for its other intended purposes and it will not recognise any disks within the drive. Regardless of media or disk type.
    I've run through a dozen suggested fixes here and on other forum boards with no success, the PC recognises that the drive is there, both in the main system folder (my computer) in the device manager and in the bios. It doesn't seem to have lost the drive, it just isnt functioning. I've tried clearing the filters (appears i didnt have any) driver re-install with a clean reboot with no luck, I've also opened the case and done the wire juggle which unsurprisingly, didn't help. The drive drawer functions fine, the drive just doesnt read any disk i place inside of it.
    I place a cd/dvd in the drive and nothing happens. When i try to manually access the drive from my computer the dvd drawer ejects and i get a pop-up asking me to insert a disk, despite the fact there is already a disk inside. I've tried multiple dvds and cds and it does the same thing for each, nor can I get programs such as itunes or WMP to read from the drive, they all show the drive as being empty??
    I tried the hp diagnostic thing too but i couldn't get the program to test the drive properly on account it depended on the drive being able to read a disk from within the drive, which it stubbornly refuses to do, so i cant tell if the problem is hardware or software based? anyone had anything similar and if so were you able to repair the problem? Im at my wits end and quite frankly I'm disappointed, I've had compaq presarios and hp pavilions before and they've all been solid platforms but having such a problem after only 5 months has seriously damaged my opinion of hp.
    I should probably mention I've also tried using windows (of the colour 7) to diagnose the problem from the device's properties menu but windows is about as observant as an amnesiac chicken and repeatedly tells me the device is fine and dandy, go figure
    Erm apologies about the obscene length and labyrinthine, rambling nature of the post by the way... heh
    ANother edit, i should also mention i've tried the 8 step guide by raster blaster, with no success, alot of the steps don't seem to allow for a recognised drive that doesn't recognise a valid disk within it, if that makes sense. Even the windows diagnostic is skuppered before it can get going because it's convinced the drive is empty or the disk is incompatible regardless of how many disks i've tried in it.
    OS: WIn7 64bit
    DVDrw: AD-7251H5
    Desktop: HP Pavilion Elite 340-uk
    Driver Version: 6.1.7600.16385

    hi big_dave, thanx for the assistance,
    device driver re-install was one of the first things i tried and while it re-installs the drivers on start up, the problem persists. I also took your advice and tried to search for a firmware update, but couldnt find one for my drive, so im assuming (possibly incorrectly hehe) that my firmware is up-to-date.
    Just to clarify, the drive is recognised by windows and in the bios, I've tried using a command prompt from outside of windows and it recognises the drive but will not read any disks within it, i recieve the drive is not ready message, I've tried a driver re-install followed by a clean reboot. I've also tried the inbuilt win7 troubleshooter program but because the drive will not read from any disk i place into it, the troubleshooter doesn't even get anywhere, the tray ejects the disk and the trouble shooter just keeps telling me to insert a disk of a valid type, i've tried some dozen or so disks... sigh... I tried a system restore but then that didn't work and i also tried the hp diagnostic tool but i have a similar problem as with the win7 troubleshooter, the program attempts to run it's diagnostics but before it even gets anywhere the disk is ejected and the program tells me to insert a valid disk regadless of the fact i have tried numerous disks that correspond with the particular aspect of the drive im testing eg audio disks to test audio cd playback capability etc etc. I even opened the tower and tried disconnecting the drive at both the drive itself and the motherboard with no success. I haven't yet tried the CMOS switch thing but im not entirely sure what that is or what it does or if it would even help me (or make matters worse! lol)
    As I say my drivers and firmware seem up-to-date, i've done a full system scan for viruses and and i've checked the drive for any visible physical damage (for what that was worth) and could find none and the registry file contained no filters to delete, it was clean.
    Looking at this list im guessing my best bet is to replace the drive? A sore disappointment for such a recent purchase and if i thought it wouldn't take forever and a day to get a replacement from hp themselves i'd go about it.
    I cant help but feel angry that hp clearly has made so little effort to correct software and hardware issues with their products, not to mention the use of substandard parts in their machines, sure a dvd rw drive is pretty cheap to replace and takes little fuss to install but it makes me wonder what might fail next that wont be so cheap and convenient to replace.
    Still thnx for the advice Big_dave and good luck to anyone else having problems with hp dvd drives, may you meet with more success than I.

  • System Preference Panes non-functional (some)

    I am "fixing" a friends MacBook Pro as a favour, and she's getting exactly what she paid for. It may be a few years old - not sure. It's running Snow Leopard, 10.6.8, but I'm putting it in this more general section because it may not be SL-specific.
    A few of the System Preferences panes don't work. A message comes up which simply says "non-functional" or something like that. Specifically, the ones whcih don't work are:
    Desktop and ScreenSaver
    Spotlight
    Energy Saver
    Background: she forgot her password, and this is on a computer which was formerly someone else's. I couldn't even get the thing to the login screen, so something else was wrong besides her password, but I had her gray Snow Leopard installation disks, so got through the re-install process, made a new User for myself, as Administrator, and was then delighted to find that all of her data was still intact. I had to add myself in to the permissions on her UserID. I made a new user for her as well, because we still didn't have her own original password, and I looked around but couldn't find it. I copied all of her data over to her new UserID.
    I also did all Updates, plus tried a 10.6.8. combo update.
    Then I made an error. The former owners UserID was also still there. We couldn't log on as her either, without her password, but I figured that we didn't need that anymore, checked with the current owner first, and deleted the original User (and renamed the computer). I cannot reconstruct in my mind whether the System Preferences panes malfunction occurred before or after deleting the original User.
    There is other minor wonkiness, but basically the machine is running and the data has been preserved (and now backed up). But one thing at a time: I've reinstalled the OS a couple of times, without improvement. I tried to upgrade to Mavericks, but after downloading, it told me that this computer could not be upgraded (without saying why not).
    I haven't found any plist files which look relevant. I did more 2 of them out of HD-Library-Preferences, without any effect, so put them back. I find the Preference Panes in System-Library-PreferencePanes, but didn't see anything to do about that. The offending panes look like they're at least present.
    Is there something simple I'm missing? Can I get those panes back?
    Thank you.
    Charles

    Macbook pros need to be at least 2009 for 13" and 2007 for 15" and 17" to run Mavericks.  see system requiements.
    At this point, the easiest solution will be to make your backups current, then wipe the drive and do a clean install of the system. That means more work reinstalling the backed-up data (you only want to restore data and third-party apps, not any of the system components), but it makes sure you get a clean, working copy of the system.

  • Wired interface non-functional

    So I have a most unusual problem with a mac mini server that is driving me banana's that I hope someone in the Apple community has run into, and found a decent solution..
    The mac mini (2.3GHz quad core i7, late 2012) is running 10.9 and server 3.0.1.   I did an upgrade from 10.8 (and whatever the previous version server was)..
    Since then the wired ethernet interface (en0) literally stopped working. (Links up, but no connectivity.. no ping, it does not even send an ARP)
    Data points about the problem.
    - It worked flawlessly up until the upgrade to 10.9.
    - wireless interface is still fine, static or dhcp.
    - The IP is statically configured via System preferences - Network.
    - ifconfig in terminal show NO IPADDRESS assigned to the interface.
    - if I reconfigure the interface to DHCP, it will not receive an IP and ends up with an APIPA address..
    - if I go into terminal and 'ifconfig en0 down' then 'ifconfig en0 <IP> up' the interface works again until restart.  It will also correctly display the IP in terminal.
    - If I reset, it goes back into this same state (network preferences shows proper config, ifconfig does not, and the interface is non functional)
    - If I then go to cli, and manually ifconfig down then up, all is good again..  Doing so from system prefs has no affect..
    Here is where it gets really interesting, and why I am convinced this is a software issue..     I did a clean install of 10.9 and Server on an external USB disk, and things work exactly as expected if I boot from that Volume..  If I boot from the internal drive, Its in the broken state again..
    This absolutelty tells me its some kind of software issue, and I am out of ideas short of wiping the internal drive, and reloading all the data from scratch..
    Anyone else run into this?  If yes, were you able to fix it without wiping/reloading?

    First, thank you for taking the time to respond and offering great ideas..
    I'd delete the interface & recreate it.
    In 'System Preferences > Network tab' select the ethernet, click the - button. Then add it again. Reboot & see if it has any effect.
    - Had no affect..  More accurately, it works the same as doing ifconfig down/up in cli, where the interface will work again until the next reboot.
    See what appears in Console (Spotlight search for it) in the 'All messages" section when you remove connect the ethernet.
    - Log messages are below..  Interestingly, I do not get the failure messages that I have highlighted in red on another machine that is is also running 10.9, with server loaded.

    Have you tried changing the port on the switch it is connected to?
    - Yes, for ease of testing I have it plugged directly into my MacBook Pro  (I also tried new cable first )
    Does safe mode have any effect?
    - No, Same results.
    Again, booting the machine from a clean install on a USB disk, does not show the issue..    I’ve got a lot of data on the machine, so I am doing anything I can to avoid wiping and reloading it all..  Ive added the output of etrecheck, in case its of any help.

  • K8N Neo4 (MS-7125) USB, Mic, S/P Out, and LAN ports all non-functional

    I'm hoping someone can give me a hand with this.  I'm not a novice when it comes to motherboards but this particular board is making me feel like it.
    Ok, I've got a K8N-Neo4 MS-7125 model.  Athlon64 3700.  I have all the current drivers and ran the liveupdate to make sure. 
    The LAN port will light up, but the Device manager will not recognize it, nor will the LAN utility.
    The board has 4 USB ports.  The top two are non-functional, the bottom two work.
    The S\P OUT port has never worked, nor do I know how to engage it or find it on the device manager
    The microphone....this one is fun.  Its like the microphone is stuck in a feedback loop.  Whatever comes through my speakers, is heard on the other end by other users.  I am not heard at all, although I can hear myself through my OWN speakers.  Even with the mic unplugged, people still can hear my speakers.  Imagine having your speakers plugged into the mic jack.  The only way to kill the feedback is to actually go into the sound manager and mute the whole mic system. 
    I can live without the LAN and USB ports, but it would be a HUGE help if someone can help me with the mic and S\P ports!!
    Thanks!!!

    Ok, I'll do my best to remember everything   
    Athlon64 3700 939socket

    120GB Seagate 7200 RPM Harddrive  (IDE) Partioned two drives
    1x512DDR ram  PC3200 400mhz
    As for the flavor of the NEO4 the only other numbers I know of, is on the board it says N1996 right below the processor.  Is that what you need?  Its a PCB V.3 board nvidia Nforce4.
    Speakers are standard cyber acoustic
    Logitech Mic/Headset combo
    This particular case allows for hookups for headphones and mic in the front.  The case has jumpers in the back that allow you to gain access from the front (but you probably already know that).  I've always used the front MIC/Headset jack, and I have a splitter in the back for the headphones and that jumper.  In trying to resolve the issue, I tried every jack with the microphone (even the ones that I know are labeled as speakers).  I do get my own voice through MY speakers on the front jack AND the mobo jack.
    Hopefully I got you enough info!
    Thanks in advance!!!

  • Non functioning system

    Purchased a KT3 Ultra2 after reading good reviews. Replaced old Chaintech CT-7AJA motherboard. Fitted new 512MB DDR memory module (PC2100). Reconnected all devices etc. Switched on power. Front panel power LED came on. Hard drive LED came on for 20 seconds. Then nothing. No screen activity at all. No P.O.S.T. messages on screen. Put a floppy disk in the floppy drive. Floppy light did not come on after a reboot. Tried booting without memory module and beeping sounds heard. Replaced memory, still non functioning system. Put old mother board back. Every thing works fine. Took board back to PC World who replaced it. Tried again. Still non functioning. The problem is not my processor as it still works fine on old motherboard. (Removed sticky label from your socket A socket and used special cooling compound on heatsink).Problem is not my devices as they work fine on the old board.
    Has anyone else ever had this problem?
    It doesn't seem logical.
    Any suggestions appreciated.

    Why?? It is not even posting so it has nothing to do with OS problems. Yet. Even so I can't see any reason to format and reinstall an OS just because you have a new MB. Driver conflicts can be sorted out in safe mode.
    To Geoffery, What are your PSU current ratings for 3.3V and 5V rails? Are you positive you have your heatsink around the right way? Machined slot must go over the raised portion of the CPU socket.

  • Tx2z - CPU non-functional?

    Hi, my tx2z died on me this morning around 5 am when I tried to turn it on to finish up some engineering homework. The computer power on, fan on for a bit, but it got stuck on the black screen with blinking caplock and numlock light.
    I don't know if this have anything to do with it, but now I think about it, it might be related. Last time I use it, it was the same day, or night, around midnight. I was working on some physics homework on the laptop with my friend. So I finished my part, and went over to help her. So when I tried to show her how to solve the equation on the calculator, we got a static electirc shock, and I didn't even touch her. Ok, so we laughed about it since we are doing stuffs dealing with electric fields. When we finally finished at 1, I went back to my dorm with the laptop, put it down to let it charge. Then when I try to do my engineering homework soon after with the computer, I was shocked again. This time by touching the comptuer.
    So I believe my Tx2z died because of "CPU non-functional" according to the LED Blink Sequence table. The LED only blinked once in each cycle. Is that correct?
    So if this is the case, what are my options? I doubt I am still under warrenty, since I just got the laptop before going to college 2 years ago. CPU non-funcational means that the CPU is dead and need replacement, right? And if I am correct, it is usually not possible to install new cpu in laptop. So I need to send it in and let them replace it? Will it be cheaper with I just go buy a new computer?
    I am still hoping that it is not the CPU problem, since I really like this laptop, it is really not that old, and I have been taking care of it. It does overheat very easily though, sometime burn my hand when I am doing some 3D modeling / rendering. But even on power saving mode, when I am just checking email, it still overheated.
    Any replies, helps, suggestions will be appreciated, thanks.

    yup, I have pretty much given up by now. I started to make a list of hardwares that I want to buy to assemble a new computer. Tablet is good, but the fact that it can't last me through college, that's just sad. So $400 to repair, and the new computer that I am planning to put together cost around $500. I think I will go with the new one with way more processing power, way better cooling, and most important, the ability to upgrade / replace broken parts without having to pay a fortune.
    LIST
    Case, power supply, motherboard w/ ATI HD4250, AMD Phenom ii x4 3.4 Ghz, 4 GB DDR3, 1 TB HDD, DVD Burner, Card Reader...
    So as for the tablet, I am starting to harvest parts from it. So far, ripped the hard drive out to recover some data and to use as an portable hard drive. Will probably take the RAM out in a day or two. The ony big disappoinment about not fixing the tablet is that the touchscreen is pretty much wasted, since I have no clue how to utilize that. Wish I have taken Computer or Electrical Engineering. 

  • Iphone 3 dropped in salt water. Appears non-functional - won't turn on. Nothing on SIM card -- had that checked. Is there ANY way to retrieve the photos and contacts. There is no backup of them.

    iphone 3 dropped in salt water. Appears non-functional - won't turn on. Nothing on SIM card -- had that checked. Is there ANY way to retrieve the photos and contacts. There is no backup of them.

    leave the phone in rice for >24 hours to see if it will recover
    you can check itunes as well to see if there are backups there from the top of the screen hit edit (itunes on mac) > preferences > devices , and see if a backup is listed
    also check icloud.com to see if you had any of the information backed up there (only possible if have have a 3gs or higher)
    also there are data recovery companies that can recover data even from wrecked hard drives but its not cheap, if your interested in that I would say lookup a company called drivesavers, I believe they are authorized to work on even in warranty iphones
    good luck

  • WAKE UP APPLE. SpotLight & Time-Machine effectively non-functioning after 10.7.5 combo update

    I have just done a complete clean restore from Snow Leopard DVD, doing all its Updates. Then, installed Lion from App store and did the 10.7.5 Combo update. (All that took 2 days).
    Time-Machine and Spotlight non functioning....
    Turned off Spotlight and Time-Machine got my apps & data back...
    Turned off Time-Machine and turned on Spotlight - nothing.
    Followed every combination of the many many helpful tips in this discussion group (involving Onyx, Terminal, Console, Privacy, removing all external drives etc etc). Finally Spotlght began to index.....
    3 days later, it was about 60% complete but slowing down. I rebooted (nothing else) and now Spotlight has restarted the Index once again and I have 3 weeks to wait now.... (Ihave about 600 Gbyte of data on a 1 Tbyte disk)
    Many others have had similar problems
    So clearly there is a significant bug in the system - with no sure fire workaround - and no apparent reaction from Apple staff about what they are doing or what sequence of actions one needs to take to resolve this issue.
    This is sad - Apple is going the same way as IBM, DEC, Microsoft, Adobe - loading functioning systems with more and more bells and whistles until finally they trip over their own feet with the complexity of the whole works.
    I feel entitled to moan - having owned nothing but Apple computers for 30 years.
    (I tried to upgrade to Mountain Lion two weeks ago, but the App store installation just froze and Apple say the DVD drive is a dying species and will supply no disks or other media to do proper restores.....!)
    ANY IDEAS ABOUT HOW TO WAKE APPLE PEOPLE UP!

    Time Machine just doesn't seem to function with lion or Mountaain Lion. I don't know about Spotlight, but I use Intego Backup Assistant for my backup and its doing fine.

  • T400 Fingerprint scanner is non-functional+R&R question

    I was hoping to hear from anyone else with a similar configured T400 that has done a clean Win 7 Professional installation.
    Have you had any issues installing and using Fingerprint reader software?
    Have you had any issues installing Rescue & Recovery 4.3?
    I'm having no luck installing R&R, and the Fingerprint scanner is non-functional.
    moderator note: subject line adjusted.
    T400 - 2.53Ghz CoreDuo - 4GB Ram - 200GB 7.2kRPM Encrypted HDD - LED Backlit Screen, Web Cam.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have a T410, not a T400, so I don't know if you have some difference in hardware causing the problem.  I assume your T400 has a UPEK fingerprint reader, like mine, not an Authentec reader?  You can verify this in Device Manager.  My UPEK reader is using the WBF driver, version 1.3.0.214.  I am also using the Lenovo fingerprint software, V 5.9.2.5912.  The older version(s) were not compatible with Win 7.  I'd suggest uninstalling everything, then reinstall the versions I have, thus ensuring you have the latest.  I am unclear why the previous posts discussed NOT using WBF.  Yes, I recall a problem with WBF back in the Win 7 beta days, but it works as designed now, and the non-WBF driver did NOT work for me on Win 7.  So, if you do not have the WBF driver installed, UNinstall the reader from device manager, including telling it to remove the driver software, then install the correct WBF driver.  I have R&R version 4.30, and everything works as designed.

  • I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor.  It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. How do I fix?

    I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor.  It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. This means I can't use the computer anymore. How do I fix? I tried using the Command+F2 keyboard shortcut, but it doesnt' work.  It's possible that since I reinstalled the OS, it still needs to be set up, so there's only a welcome screen (but since I can't see it I'm not sure).

    There is no limit to the number of times you can re-install Office on the same computer.
    You can activate by telephone:

  • I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).

    I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • How can I include "None" functionality in a LOV

    I am trying to setup the ability to set a value to null in a Popup LOV giving my users the “None” functionality. This is the SQL I use to ccreate the LOV:
    select 'None'VALUE,
    Null UID
    from dual
    UNION ALL
    select VALUE,
    UID
    from LOOKUP_VALUE
    when I select the “None” from the list and try to create the record I receive:
    ERR ERR-1023 Unable perform validations
    ORA-01722: invalid number
    Any idea on how to allow “None” type functionality?

    Thanks Sergio;
    You are right I am trying to insert a NULL into a number column. When I add a row and do not put a value in this column it is ok because the column is defined to allow nulls. If I put a value in this column and later want to change the value nothing (NULL) is when I have the problem. I could create a None value for all my LOV and use it but I would rather just remove the value from the column and leave it NULL.
