| I've set up a system with a Magma PCI card and apparently that system used to have one installed when used by the previous owner. Anyway, when I've tried to re-install the driver package, it's giving an error when running the postinstall script: Installing MAGMA Allin1 PCI v5.4 for Sparc PCI as <MAGMApci> ## Installing part 1 of 1. /kernel/drv/mh64 [ verifying class <none> ] ## Executing postinstall script. Adding entries to /etc/iu.ap Removing old entries from /etc/path_to_inst is the basedir Installing 64bit driver into the kernel is the basedir 2 ("pci11c9,10") already in use as a driver or alias. pkgadd: ERROR: postinstall script did not complete successfully and the module doesn't get loaded into the kernel. I've tried running 'devfsadm -C' in case that might clean up something which is preventing the postinstall process from completing properly but it hasn't changed the result. Is the error message coming about because the system already knows about a Magma card which was installed perhaps in a different PCI slot to the one I've put my Magma card into? I've tried to 'pkgrm MAGMApci' before running 'pkgadd' to reinstall the package, and that hasn't changed the result either. The 'is the basedir' lines don't report any pathname for the $BASEDIR variable - that could be an indication of something else that's wrong with Magma's scripts? I've run 'pkgadd' with the -v argument to see more of what it's doing and it looks like the error is generated from when the script is running 'add_drv' with the following command line: /usr/sbin/add_drv -i "pci11c9,10" "pci11c9,11" "pci11c9,12" -m * 0666 root sys mh Any ideas on how to deal with this? Thanks, Craig. |
