SYSMAN IO CONNECT or SYS$USER_CONFIG.DAT?

» close window

The Question is:

 
If I boot my machine (4100) then my 3rd pty. PCI driver is auto configured and
 comes on-line via my entry in SYS$USER_CONFIG.DAT. However if I delete
 SYS$USER_CONFIG.DAT and manually try a SYSMAN> IO CONNECT BCA0
/DRIVER=BCDRIVER /ADAPTER=2 /VECTOR=56
/CSR=%XFFFFFFFF89DD2000
then the device never comes online. What am I missing? I know my PCI bus is
 adapter=2 and my IRQ is 14 and the rest of the parameters were obtained from
 ANA/SYS ...CLUE CONFIG.

The Answer is :

 
  What was included in SYS$USER_CONFIG for the specific PCI device?
 
  It would appear that there is a difference in what was specified, or
  that there is a conflicting device, or that there was some other error,
  or that there is a resource required by the driver that is not available
  when the manual connection occurs.
 
  "BC" is not a registered device prefix, nor is it in the "unregistered"
  range -- device driver prefixes "J*" and "Q*" -- that is reserved for
  customer (unregistered) device drivers.
 
  Please contact the third-party for assistance with this device driver.
 
  The folks at the Compaq Customer Support Center can assist with the
  device registration process, if the third-party desires it.
