Warning and Error Messages

Memory Allocation Error

pci_pci Loading Message

Determining Installation Parameters

March 2013
If the driver has an error or warning to report (often related to driver
startup problems), the message always appears on the system
console if such a device exists for Solaris. In addition, message are
available in other ways. A limited amount of messages are
sometimes available if you use the crash command selecting the
panic function within. The messages are logged to a text file:
/var/log/messages.
On some systems, the driver might fail to load with a memory
allocation error appearing on the console. This could happen either
as part of running dinstall or the first time running a Bfv API
application since booting the system.
This error occurs because the system's kernel virtual memory space
becomes fragmented over time and cannot provide space for the
amount of memory required. This error is especially likely if you
chose a large history size.
If the driver is loaded soon after boot time (by running any
application that uses the driver), the chances of being able to allocate
the memory are much higher.
On some systems, at boot time a message might appear on the
system console mentioning forced loading of pci_pci. This message
can safely be ignored.
Any time after the driver has been installed (but not removed), you
can determine what installation parameters were used by looking at
the file platform/sun4u/kernel/drv/boston.conf on SPARC
platforms.
