I had this problem and worked with Compaq support on solving the issue. I
am putting it out on the list for sharing knowledge. We are finally up and
running just fine, now.
Original Problem:
==================
I have just installed a KZPBA-CB PCI-to-UltraSCSI Differential Host adapter
card in a DS20, 2 CPUs, 500mHz Controller ISP 1040B, v5.0a. Here is the
sequence of events.
set os_type nt
power cycle
Alpha BIOS screen - pressed F2
CMOS setup - floppy pointing to 5.25 - changed to 3.5
save - reboot - F2 setup
utilities - run maintenance set
a:eeromcfg
edited host adapter scsi id - set to 12 - save - exit
utilities - run maintenance - enable Ultra Fast-20
CMOS - F6 - console selection - changed to UNIX
F10 to save - f10 to save - enter - power cycle
> show dev -
PKC0 - Firmware Version 5.57
verify scsi id is a 12
>
> boot -file genvmunix
save current /vmunix
# doconfig -c <MACHINENAME>
# mv /sys/<MACHINENAME>/vmunix /vmunix
# shutdown -h now
>boot
....... doesn't see the new card like genvmunix did
bad messages as machine is rebooting ..........
Mailbox failure 3 during a init - retrying
config_malloc: cannot find memory in saved list
cam_logger: SCSI event packet
cam_logger: bus 4
isp_get_console_image:
unable to allocate contig memory for console firmware image
cam_logger: SCSI event packet
cam_logger: bus 4
isp_init:
unable to readback firmware from card
cam_logger: SCSI event packet

isp_cam_bus_reset_one

pushed the halt button

power cycle - didn't work............

PAL 1.72-59
Solution:
=========
We compared the /tmp/test output from genvmunix, sizer -n, with the currently
rebuilt kernel. What was noticably missing was the following entries after
the rebuild:
# Static Driver Definitions
#
config_driver mchan < ---- Memory channel
config_driver tga
config_driver ata
config_driver fdi
config_driver lp
config_driver ace
config_driver gpc
config_driver isp <----- driver for the kzpba
config_driver tu
<snip>
We added the mchan and isp lines, rebuilt the kernel, and rebooted the
machine. Everything came up just fine.
