Hi,

I have had a problem with a Solaris 9 application whereby a Condor
1553 driver fails to initialise. If I reinstall the driver, it still
fails.

However, if I reinstall the OS, and then reinstall the driver then it
successfully intialises and behaves as expected.

I realise I haven't given many specifics, but is there an area of
memory the OS maintains for driver settings that may have become
corrupt?

For information, installing the driver over the top of an original
installation caused the original fault (i.e., failure to initialise).

Regards
Michael.

Did you do a reconfiguration reboot after installing the driver?

How do you mean reinstall? Just overwriting the driver file, or do you go
as far as "modunload" the running driver and reloading it?
