Troubleshooting
Introduction
There are several circumstances in which your system may operate in an unexpected manner. The
Troubleshooting section explains many of these circumstances and offers one or more workarounds for
each situation.
Unusual Situations and Their Resolutions

Situation Resolution
LP1005DC-CM2 reported as the
LP1050DC. When running lspci or kudzu
utilities, you may see the Emulex FC Host
Adapter LP1005DC-CM2 reported as the
Emulex FC Host Adapter LP1050DC for the
pci_id address f0a5. This is due to a delay in
getting the pci_id tables updated in the
SourceForge upstream kernel.
None at this time.
"Rmmod fails to unload driver due to
Device or resource busy" error message.
This message occurs when you attempt to
remove the driver without first stopping
HBAnyware, when HBAnyware is installed
and running.
Stop HBAnyware before attempting to unload the driver. The
script is located in the /usr/sbin/hbanyware directory. Type:
./stop_hbanyware
Unload the driver. Type:
rmmod lpfcdfc
rmmod lpfc
Driver Install Fails. The Linux install script
fails to install the driver.
The install script may fail for the following reasons:
• A previous version of the driver is installed. Run the Linux
Install --uninstall script and then try to install the driver.
• The current driver is already installed.
"No module lpfc found for kernel" error
message. When upgrading the kernel, rpm
generates the following error: "No module
lpfc found for kernel KERNELVERSION".
"A recently upgraded kernel cannot find
the ramdisk" error message. After
upgrading the kernel, the kernel cannot find
the ramdisk which halts or panics the
system.
"The driver is not loaded after a system
reboot after upgrading the kernel" error
message.
These three situations may be resolved by upgrading the
kernel. There are two ways to install the driver into an upgraded
kernel. The method you use depends on whether or not you are
upgrading the driver.
• Upgrade the kernel using the same version of the driver.
• Upgrade the kernel using a new version of the driver.
See the Installation Manual to learn how to upgrade the
kernel.
