SCO tcp services fail?
joeh
Have an HP Netserver where 2 NICs together were failing
SCO didn't seems to have anything that would actually spill the
PCI bus/device/function values; a consultant sent me a bootable
image and after i got those values i went into netconfig and
configured the 2 NICs (Intel Express 100 b + )
At boot time i no longer get the message "PCI scan fail"
Instead i get the mac address and the IRQ
But things are still not working now. Before where at least 1 NIC was
working, now both interfaces are not showing up in netstat -i.
Not only that, the loopback device is also gone!
All i see in netstat -i is 'atl0' device.
I checked /etc/tcp and see that it has proper ifconfig statements.
The ifconfig call gives me 'ioctl SIGIOCGI...'
Please:
[a] How can the devices be successfully scanned by the os with mac
addresses and then disappear for ifconfig?
[b] How can the loopback device be gone?
Something has happened to SCO tcpip services. Does anyone recognize
these strange symptoms?

[a] the /etc/strcf script is failing on 'net1'
Where does this link to?
What does strcf depend on in terms of defining
the device/interface?
[b] More than that, when i try to remove /add the interface
in SCO's 'netconfig' the kernel rebuild fails; ks???gen failed
to rebuild kernel. So things are not in sync now. It removed/
added a device, but can't tell itself about it somehow, and
yet part of the os is trying to find it.
SCO old-timers give me a hand please
thanks

Maybe its time to nuke the network configuration (at least
down to the point where a kernel will relink) and start
from scratch. Then grab fresh drivers from
ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/drivers/OSR505/network/pro100b
What is the error you get when you relink the kernel?
