Abstract: SCO 5.0.5 & IBM PCI T/R ADAPTER SHARING INTERRUPTS


SYMPTOM:

During installation of SCO 5.0.5, if 2 or more IBM PCI Token Ring adapters (41H8900) are installed with the token ring adapters sharing interrupts, there will be errors during the SCO installation.
The system needs to be rebooted and the installation re-started.
If SCO 5.0.5 is already installed and 2 or more token ring adapters are added, the system will hang as the OS is loaded if the adapters share the same interrupt.


PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:


FIX:

Ensure the token ring adapters do not share the same interrupt.
