(BF77) Linux reference codes

The first five characters (BFyyy) of these SRCs indicate the driver or subsystem responsible for the error:

The last three characters specify the error condition. The last three characters of the SRCs are arranged such that 1xx is lowest severity and Fxx is highest severity. For example:

Use the following table to locate the last four characters of the (BF77) Linux SRC that you want to find, then perform the suggested actions:

If the suggested action in the Description/Action column in any of the following tables does not work (or if that column does not contain a suggested action), use the action specified in the Failing Item column.

Reference Code	Description/Action Perform all actions before exchanging Failing Items	Failing Item
0A00	Unrecognized command code or unrecognized buffer address. Have the customer do the following: Reload the driver and reset the device to recover lost buffers Upgrade the driver	NEXTLVL
0F01	The olympic driver was unable to initialize the token ring card. Corrective action may be possible depending upon the error code.	IOADPTR
0F02	The Cardbus token ring adapter did not respond to initialization commands. Ensure that Cardbus adapter is properly inserted.	IOADPTR
0F03	The token ring adapter was unable to join the ring. Have the customer use the network configuration tool supplied by the distributor to specify a ring speed (instead of automatically detecting ring speed).	IOADPTR
0F04	The adapter open request failed with the specified error code.	IOADPTR
0800	The driver was unable to send a received packet to the upper layer protocols because there is insufficient free memory. The customer may need to increase system memory.	LPARCFG
0F05	The specified hardware, PCI or parity error has occurred. Have the customer reset the adapter	IOADPTR
0F06	The specified interrupt has occurred, but was not expected by the driver or a timeout occurred during device close processing. For occasional occurances, no action is required. For excessive occurrences, have the customer reset the adapter. If resetting the adapter does not work, perform the action specified in the Failing Item column.	IOADPTR
0F07	Unrecognized srb command or cannot set mac/laa address while card is open. Have the customer reload the driver	IOADPTR
0F08	A short circuit has been detected. Have the customer do the following: Check and replace cables, if necessary Check and replace peer stations on ring, if necessary	IOADPTR
0F09	An internal hardware error has been detected in the specified adapter during auto removal processing. Have the customer reload the driver	IOADPTR
0F0A	An FDX protocol error has been detected. Have the customer reload the driver	IOADPTR
0F0B	Invalid return code in asb. Have the customer upgrade the driver	IOADPTR
