Problem: Unsupported hardware detected on systems using KZPCC controllers.
Summary:
The installupdate script incorrectly reports that the KZPCC driver is unsupported.
Apparently, it parses the bus and controller names, truncating them at the first digit
so the KZPCC driver i2o becomes i, which it then fails to recognise as a supported
device.
After ignoring the warning and continuing the installation, 5.1B successfully
install and runs on this hardware.
Thanks to Dr Thomas Blinn & Randy Rodgers.
Original question:
> I have a DS20E with a KZPCC controller, currently running Tru64 UNIX 5.1A PK3.
> Firmware is the latest.
