I think the 1.2M image may default to serial console as its the image I burned for my model 77 boot disk. Make sure that you capture a complete verbose boot as that will have all the POS register dumps etc. Its also possible that the NCR machines won't return what I'm expecting from Int 0x15 func 0xc0 and if so the verbose boot messages will contain relevent debuging information. I've a pretty good idea that I've seen an NCR MCA box before and am kicking myself for letting it escape me.

Yay! Its a rather large "Apricot FTs 486" with the Panther Rev F MB: http://www.mitsubishi-computers.com/insight/en/products/servers/fts/ftsmain.htm It is currently running NT4 (SP5) with all the adapters in it recognised and supported. It is also known to run OS/2 Warp 4, and I once briefly had Solaris 2.4 (x86) on it. Here is what happened while trying to boot FreeBSD... Firstly, the keyboard did not work! It loaded the kernel, and then asked for the mfs disk and said 'press enter to continue' but the keyboard doesn't do anything. The num-lock and caps-locks LEDs do not toggle either. Ok, so I boot using a serial console... yay! I can continue with loading the mfs disk! It loads, then says "booting in n seconds...", I press enter, it starts probing! Yay! Oh, hang on, its hanged :( Hmmm. It hangs while probing npx. Ok... vi src/sys/i386/isa/npx.c ... hmmm, lets bypass that "if ((status & 0xb8ff) == 0)" bit and just return 0 - we'll use the emulator... Tada!!! Well, almost... it doesn't grok the AHA-1640 and no disks are found. I will play with your driver over the next couple of days.

This is good since it means that Int 0x15 Func 0xc0 detects non-PS/2 machines correctly. The 'BIOS SDT: ...' lines are what we're looking at for this. Since you were good enough to capture an entire verbose boot and transcribed the config of all your cards I'll be able to get working on the Buslogic probe/attach bits. > It is currently running NT4 (SP5) with all the adapters in it recognised > and supported.

I know there are some issues with DMA channels. Did I maybe forget to mention adding the line to sys/i386/conf/files.i386? i386/mca/aha_mca.c optional mca aha Add that and make sure you have: controller aha0 to your config file. I should probably compile the MCA bus support as a module and compile the drivers as modules as well to make testing a tad easier. > In case it helps, here is what is in the machine: > > Motherboard - 8Mb RAM, com1, lpt1, standard VGA > > slot 1 - Hypertec HyperPort [3 serial, 1 parallel] > port: 2f8 irq 3 [only com2 is enabled] > > slot 2 - AHA-1640 SCSI Host Adapter > port: 330 irq 15 dma 4 rom dc00 > > slot 3 - Hyperam MC 32/16 [32Mb RAM] > EMS window: c000-c3ff > > slot 4 - 3Com EtherLink/MC > port: 300 irq 12 rom c800 > > slot 5 - Hyperam MC 32/16 [23Mb RAM] > EMS window: c400-c7ff > > slot 6 - BusLogic 32bit BusMaster MCA-to-SCSI Host Adapter (v1.42a) > port: 334 irq 14 dma 5 > > slot 7 - BusLogic...[same as above] > port: 234 irq 11 dma 6 > > slot 8 - BusLogic...[same as above] > port: 134 irq 10 dma 7 > > [there are 11 scsi disks spread across the 4 controllers] > > > And now finally to the nitty-gritty: > > Here is the output from a successfull boot: > > [options KBDIO_DEBUG, NPX_DEBUG, DIAGNOSTIC, DEBUG are also in kernel] > > [start script] > Console: serial port > BIOS drive A: is disk0 > BIOS drive C: is disk1 > BIOS drive D: is disk2 > > FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.7 639/63488kB > (jkh@cathair, Tue May 18 03:22:02 GMT 1999) > kernel text=0x1289fb data=0x1c478+0x19d5c syms=[0x4+0x1e780+0x4+0x201fb] > > Please insert MFS root floppy and press enter: > > Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt. > Booting [kernel] in 9 seconds... > > Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help. > disk0s4a:> > disk0s4a:> boot -v > Copyright (c) 1992-1999 The FreeBSD Project. > Copyright (c) 1982, 1986, 1989, 1991, 1993 > The Regents of the University of California.

The guys at http://www.942wavelan.com/ sell them. If you search the archives someone mentions that the Cabletron Wavepoints appear to just be rebadged Lucent cards. They actually appear to be a bit cheaper then the Lucent ones.

Having perused the Linux Aironet driver sources a little while back, I would be much more concerned with the quality of the driver than the hardware at this point in time.

We're looking at them and WaveLAN cards for ad-hoc routing research and possiable campus wide wiring. I believe the comments were not so much about the hardware/drivers as about problems getting access to the specs which resulted in a limited subset of the cards being supported. Since some people reported good results and we'll appparently be seeing a driver soon, I'm inclined to believe it's mostly just "but the VHDL source wasn't released under the GPL" bitching. ;-) -- Brooks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Tue Aug 31 17: 4:39 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from sasami.jurai.net (sasami.jurai.net [63.67.141.99]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D1A0614D76; Tue, 31 Aug 1999 17:04:36 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from winter@jurai.net) Received: from localhost (winter@localhost) by sasami.jurai.net (8.8.8/8.8.7) with ESMTP id UAA17800; Tue, 31 Aug 1999 20:03:59 -0400 (EDT) Date: Tue, 31 Aug 1999 20:03:59 -0400 (EDT) From: "Matthew N.

With wst0 compiled into the kernel, the drive is recognized correctly, and even works properly with small amounts of data; I have been able to back up and restore (using tar) a small test directory. When I try to tar up a usefully-sized directory or filesystem, however, the drive will begin its work apparently correctly, but the tar will exit with an I/O error at a variable point a few seconds to minutes into the backup. The following goes to syslog: wst_done: wst0: nonrecovered data error total=337920 ERR=70 len=20 ASC=31 ASCQ=0 After this point, and until the next reboot, all attempts to access the drive cause the machine to hang for a few seconds, and then return to normal, but with the new tar process asleep, apparently uninterruptibly, on wstdsc. After the brief hang the following appears in the syslog: atapi1.1: controller not ready for cmd atapi1.1: controller not ready for cmd atapi1.1: controller not ready for cmd atapi1.1: controller not ready for cmd atapi1.1: controller not ready for cmd wst0: Sense media type failed Has anyone seen this problem? I am running 3.2-STABLE on a vanilla PIII-450. The filesystems being backed up are, in toto, quite large, but the disk space used is less than 3GB (and should thus fit on one tape with or without compression). Any help would be appreciated; I'm willing to go to -CURRENT if it'll fix the problem, but as this is my primary work machine I'd rather not do so unless I'm confident it will improve the situation.

You said that the current version (3.3.3.1) does not support that chipset; however, the README for ATI cards says: Mach64 series: 88800GX-C, 88800GX-D, 88800GX-E, 88800GX-F, 88800CX, 264CT, 264ET, 264VT, 264GT (3D Rage), 264VT-B, 264VT3, 264VT4, 264GT-B (3D Rage II), 264GTIIc (3D Rage IIc), 264GT3 (3D Rage Pro), 264LT (3D Rage LT), 264LTPro (3D Rage LT Pro) The Inspiron 7000's specifications describe the video adapter as a "standard ATI Rage LT Pro", and also as a "ATI Rage Mobility-P". Are these adapters the same? If indeed they are, then, shouldn't they be directly supported by XFree86 3.3.3.1?

Is there an established FAQ or whatever about the various sound cards supportted by 3.2-R? I am interested in serving (legal)MP3s to my stereo/home-theater, and want the best sound quality I can afford without going nut$. The stereo is not yet purchased, but will be very nice. I have an on-motherboard Crystal Audio, which I have not yet configured, but it is my understanding that this is not really a good card (it would be nice if I'm wrong).

Someone needs to get a bug up their bum to split out the ISA specific stuff from the rest of sio.c I've got a number of MCA and EISA serial cards that are waiting on this person who will most likely be me. *sigh* You're welcome to do the work though... I'll commit it if it passes the review and testing by a few others. You could do the lpt driver at the same time and make me really happy. -- | Matthew N.

A modern flash drive uses a standard IDE interface and do not need any special device drivers (the computer/BIOS does not know that it is not a normal IDE disk drive). You can get a flash drive with 20MB capacity up to 440MB. And the read/write preformance is much better than the DOC2000 (the DOC2000 uses a 8bit ISA adapter to work in a PC). The flash drives are nodays even cheaper than the M-SYS DOC2000 per MB and much easier to find among the computer resellers. Sandisk is one big supplier of flash drives (and other Flash EEPROM based storage products). http://www.sandisk.com/oem/1.8drive.htm /Max (how have tride both DOC2000 and flash drive in a NetBSD system). > > > > Hello: > > I'm needing to build a FreeBSD router to be installed on > > rooftops.
