SYMPTOMS
During the normal use of a computer system with the SMC9232 10/100 network
interface card (NIC) installed running Windows NT, the computer fails with
multiple STOP messages. The computer may fail with any or all of the
following three STOP messages:
- The following STOP errors message appears on your Windows NT Server:
STOP: 0x0000000A (0x00000034, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0x80402DA6)
NOTE: The first, second, and third parameters will be identical.
- The following STOP errors message appears on your Windows NT Server:
STOP: 0x0000001E (0xC0000005, 0x8017A7E4, 0x00000000, 0x00100048)
NOTE: The first parameter will be identical; other parameters may vary
depending on your system configuration.
- The following STOP errors message appears on your Windows NT Server:
STOP: 0x00000046 (0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
NOTE: All of the parameters will be the same.
CAUSE
The version of the SMC driver that is failing is the version for Windows NT
3.51, the Smc9232n.sys version 1.01 dated 3-6-96. Currently, SMC is aware
that the Smc9232n.sys may be causing this problem, and SMC is working on a
solution.
WORKAROUND
The SMC 9232 NIC is not on the current Hardware Compatibility List for
Windows NT 3.51. Until this problem is resolved by SMC, replace the SMC
9232 with a network adapter that is listed on the HCL.
