Troubleshooting
Problems and Solutions
My computer crashes or displays panic messages during the bootup procedure!
You may have to boot from the backup kernel created earlier, and then perform the driver update procedure again.
To boot from the old kernel, follow these steps:
1.Reboot the computer.
2.At the Booting UNIX System… prompt or loading UnixWare graphics, press the Spacebar.
3.For UnixWare 2.1x: From the [boot]# prompt, first type KERNEL=old kernel (e.g., KERNEL=unix.work) and press Enter. Then, type go and press Enter. Your computer should now boot from the backup kernel created earlier in “Installing the Driver When UnixWare is Already Installed” on page 84.
4.For UnixWare 7.01/7.1: From the [boot]# prompt, first type
BOOTPROG=old kernel (e.g., BOOTPROG=unix.work) and press Enter. Then, type go and press Enter. Your computer should now boot from the backup kernel created earlier in “Installing the Driver When UnixWare is Already Installed” on page 84.
To repeat the driver update procedure, follow these steps:
1.Follow the instructions in “Removing the Driver” on page 88 to delete the driver from your computer.
2.Perform the driver update procedure again. See “Installing the Driver When UnixWare is Already Installed” on page 84.
