Sender: owner-freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org It was suggested I ask a question here (although I'm not subscribed - so please leave my reply address in any e-mails.) My situation is that I'm putting together a new machine, using an ASUS P2B-DS. This motherboard has a aha2940u2w on-board (and, I understand it's an identical chip set.) Now - I've got this brand-spankin' new Sony CRX140S SCSI CD-RW. I've plugged it into a machine running FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE and an aha2940uw (note - not u2w - just uw.) It was able read the 3.3-RELEASE CD without any problems. But - when I try and use this CD-RW with this aha2940u2w, I get - well - weirdness. I can boot from the CD just fine, the kernel loads up - no mysterious messages, etc... Then, I get to reading the CD to do the extraction of /bin, a few files work, then I get a lot of cpio "skipping Junk" messages (indicating the CD isn't being read correctly.) I've verified that my SCSI termination is correct - I've even tried many permutations of the possibilities to ensure it's not something I'm missing. Some people have asked if it's possible there's an interaction between the aha2940u2w and this new CD-RW drive... since it works fine on the aha2940uw. The drive is so new, there are no firmware updates at SONY's web site (the manual is even dated Oct. 1999... ) Any suggestions to help resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. - Thanks - - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-scsi Tue Nov 16 8:51:53 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org Received: from chuggalug.clues.com (chuggalug.clues.com [194.217.82.22]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id EE0A314BC7 for ; Tue, 16 Nov 1999 08:51:15 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from geoffb@chuggalug.clues.com) Received: (from geoffb@localhost) by chuggalug.clues.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id QAA77980; Tue, 16 Nov 1999 16:51:02 GMT (envelope-from geoffb) Date: Tue, 16 Nov 1999 16:51:02 +0000 From: Geoff Buckingham To: Thomas David Rivers Cc: freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.ORG, rivers@lakes.dignus.com Subject: Re: AHA 2940UW vs AHA 2940U2W?

(someone rich :-) I have an Epson GT8500 / ES1200C at home, connected to an Adaptec 2940 together with 6 other devices (yes, the SCSI bus is _full_). Works like a charm. I can even scan and write a CD-R at the same time, however, I tend to try to avoid this. :-) At the university's computing centre we have an HP ScanJet 6100C connected to the built-in SCSI adapter of a SUN Sparc- Station-5. OK, this is not FreeBSD, but Solaris. But it's also driven by SANE, so it should work with FreeBSD as well. Anyway -- if you buy a SCSI scanner, don't buy a cheap one. The cheap ones tend to have crippled SCSI interfaces, and you end up having to use a separate SCSI adapter just for the scanner. I think at the SANE homepage there is a table which lists the "good" and the "bad" ones. ;-) Regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, Leibnizstr. 18/61, 38678 Clausthal, Germany (Info: finger userinfo:olli@dorifer.heim3.tu-clausthal.de) "In jedem Stück Kohle wartet ein Diamant auf seine Geburt" (Terry Pratchett) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-scsi Tue Nov 16 22:53: 3 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org Received: from uni4nn.gn.iaf.nl (osmium.gn.iaf.nl [193.67.144.12]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 244EF14ECE for ; Tue, 16 Nov 1999 22:52:59 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from wilko@yedi.iaf.nl) Received: from yedi.iaf.nl (uucp@localhost) by uni4nn.gn.iaf.nl (8.9.2/8.9.2) with UUCP id HAA09945; Wed, 17 Nov 1999 07:33:43 +0100 (MET) Received: (from wilko@localhost) by yedi.iaf.nl (8.9.3/8.9.3) id AAA45749; Wed, 17 Nov 1999 00:10:46 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from wilko) From: Wilko Bulte Message-Id: <199911162310.AAA45749@yedi.iaf.nl> Subject: Re: 512 / 2048 switchable CDROM (Pioneer DRM-600) In-Reply-To: <3831B5A2.5C66CC59@hiwaay.net> from Kris Kirby at "Nov 16, 1999 1:50:58 pm" To: kris@hiwaay.net (Kris Kirby) Date: Wed, 17 Nov 1999 00:10:46 +0100 (CET) Cc: scsi@FreeBSD.ORG X-Organisation: Private FreeBSD site - Arnhem, The Netherlands X-pgp-info: PGP public key at 'finger wilko@freefall.freebsd.org' X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL43 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org As Kris Kirby wrote ... > I've got a Pioneer DRM-600 (on the front panel) which IDs as a DRM-604 > over the SCSI bus.

Most workstations require 512bytes/block for booting. As far as I know, most/all CDROM drives can be switched from 512 to 2048 bytes by SCSI commands with no problems. The jumper is just there to set the powerup default, as the workstation's firmware is not clever enough to send the switch command before the OS is up. > I ask because the > last time I connected it (and I don't remember what the switch settings > were) I got messages from the kernel telling me that it required Vendor > Specific commands. I don't think these are related to the jumper, as the jumper is useless bejond initial use if I'm corrent with the above.

This model has an on-board adaptec controller this is what seen, during the boot, it is a different controller to the PCI-UW2SCSI unit you are trying to use, which is likely to be an AMI Mega RAID or an adaptec RAID of some kind (depending on which Dell re-badged) The AMI unit is supported in cureent ( and I believe should be bootable) There is an experimental version of the driver back ported to stable available from mike smith, bu I think you will still have to boot from the on board adaptec or an IDE disk ATM. For the moment I suggest you try boot floppies from: ftp://current.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/4.0-19991115-CURRENT/ to confirm they can see the disk. You should be able to search the mailing lists at www.freebsd.org for amr0, Dell PERC, or AMI and RAID to find docs / details for the driver. > > Where have my disks gone?

Until now, I didn't know that the Enterprise 1500 wasn't supported, and I was looking at getting one. I even read the README included with the drive, and there was no mention of supported/unsupported cards. However, now I know that certain firmware versions are supported, but not what firmware versions each card supports.

I've stopped holding my breath. 8-) The PAO people have it (cardbus), and Warner has imported PAO's work into the source tree and it's working on newbusifying it. The news here is that, afaik, the groundwork for importing cardbus has been laid. -- Daniel C.

Isn't it possible to flash the f/w onto the isp card itself? Or does the Alpha always use the f/w contained in the SRM? The same cards also run in a PC, so without the notion of SRM...

It may or may not download from the card. Likely not. It also probably depends on the SRM version and the platform. Insofar as updating the cards themselves- this is a pretty much undocumented procedure that I would rather not become responsible for. There are tools available from the Qlogic website which allow you to do this (on a PC executing from DOS), but it's not really clear whether the SRM will pull this out of the BIOS flashrom and then download it to the SRAM on the card and set that running- I believe that SRM just downloads the code *it* has. It's possible that there's a lot of steps that could be undertaken for trying to figure out how to update/extract from the card itself all of this stuff. It's a bit of an edge case where things just plain don't work, though. The reason the f/w will be going back in the tree is to provide a *selection* of features such as Fabric or Target Mode support. The INSTALL kernel should not have any of this compiled in because it makes things probably too big to fit on floppies. Well, it's there for Alpha because there are so few other boards supported that there is room for it. Hell, maybe it's even there for i386- I haven't checked. I do know that Theo of OpenBSD has requested this be able to be turned off so he can fit the Sparc install kernel onto a floppy. It's a hard problem to get right solution for, sorry. -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
