Appendix D Firmware and Device Driver Error Messages D-15
The above message indicates an unsuccessful attempt by the
sf
driver to force a lip
(loop initiation process/primitive). The only recourse the driver has is to initiate a
socal
reset.
D.6 Internal Software Errors
Internal software error messages can be displayed when the driver detects some
inconsistency in the state of the machine. These may be the result of failed hardware,
usually either the disk array host adapter or SBus hardware.
The errors do not normally occur under normal operation.

given a packet to free that is already on the Free List.
