Environment
HP BL25 server
Novell NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 6
Novell NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 6
Situation
Server had been upraded from Support Pack 5 to Support Pack
6. When warm booted after the upgrade, the server would
restart and come up fine. On cold boot, the serverr would
hang when loading acpidrv.psm.
Resolution
There are 2 steps to the resolution. First, if
EXCLUDE.PL or CONFIG.NW exist in the the server boot
directory (ususlly c:\nwserver) rename or delete them. Next
start the server with the -ns -na swotches. When the server
has come up to the : prompt, type the command 'regedit'. This will
bring up the registry editor. CD to \\my
server\hwdhardware\. If the key "NBI_Disable_Scan" exists
delete it. At the regedit prompt the letter 'h' will give
command help.
