To the original poster: I have an AWE64GOLD that works perfectly, in a configuration similar to yours. You may have another device that conflicts with the AWE, or the IRQ/DMA setup you specified in your kernel.conf may not match what your PnP BIOS is actually assigning your card. You need to post _complete_, unabridged dmesg output, and preferably, also the output from the 'pnpinfo' command, if you want us to be able to puzzle out the source of your problems...

I have managed to attach LCD (HD44780 compatible from Powertip. PC2004-B model). However, the contrast is too bad and i cannot even start developing software to control it the way it need. (super quite home mp3 player, tired of working fans :)). It is an extended tempretaure unit (-20C - 75C) and it needs voltage from GND to -7V on Vo (contrast control pin). I cannot figure out how to get -7V from pc power supply. The other thing, is that LED backlight is heating badly. I thought it has resistor built-in, but it seems as it does not. What resistor should i use there for +5V line (typical current for the LED is 260mA). I hope, someone whould help, because i am a programmer and not very good at MAKING hardware.

It's been ported, it just hasn't been released by 3ware yet. You should be pestering them directly about this. -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also.

Actually, yes, both "ends" need to be terminated. If there is only one device (or all devices are interanl or external) then the SCSI card itself is the other "end". Most modern SCSI cards have an "auto-termination" feature where it senses whether it needs to terminate at the card or not, and does the right thing. You should make sure auto-termination is enabled.

There may already be one in there, in which case you may need to do nothing. I can't see anything in there with the name Canon, but the card doesn't have to have the Canon name. A typical entry might be like this: # Non-brand Compact Flash Card(32MB) card " " "KCF 32M" config 0x1 "ata" ? If your card isn't recognized, you'll get messages like this in the /var/log/messages: Nov 28 12:25:45 sydney /kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 1 Nov 28 12:25:51 sydney pccardd[3279]: Card "CL ATA FLASH CARD LEXAR "("TIDALWV") [V1.01] [(null)] has function ID 4 Nov 28 12:25:56 sydney pccardd[3279]: driver allocation failed for (null)((null)): Device not configured In a case like this, you might create a new entry: card "CL ATA FLASH CARD LEXAR " "TIDALWV" config 0x1 "ata" ? This might still fail because of irq conflicts. You can specify a particular irq in place of the ?, for example 9 in this case: card "CL ATA FLASH CARD LEXAR " "TIDALWV" config 0x1 "ata" 9 Now you should get: Nov 28 12:29:50 sydney pccardd[3286]: Card "CL ATA FLASH CARD LEXAR "("TIDALWV") [V1.01] [(null)] matched "CL ATA FLASH CARD LEXAR " ("TIDALWV") [(null)] [(null)] Nov 28 12:29:55 sydney /kernel: ata4 at port 0x260-0x26f irq 9 slot 1 on pccard1 Nov 28 12:30:05 sydney /kernel: ata4-slave: ata_command: timeout waiting for intr Nov 28 12:30:05 sydney /kernel: ata4-slave: identify failed Nov 28 12:30:05 sydney /kernel: ad8: 7MB [251/2/32] at ata4-master using BIOSPIO Nov 28 12:30:05 sydney pccardd[3286]: ata4: CL ATA FLASH CARD LEXAR (TIDALWV) inserted.

(For anyone who wants to know: 1U, two PPGA370 Sockets, two on-board ethernet (fxp), two hotswap ide ata100-drives, usb, serial, parallel. Work is on a next 1U with up to 3 drives and ipmi on board.). I gave 4.2release a try as far as I recognised that there was no support for this controller in previous versions. Detection was sucessfully, installing without any problem, looked really good to me. So, what is the first to check out with an mirrored raid? Take one of the drives out of the bay and look what happens. I did and looked... Hum... System stopped... Waiting... System still hangs... Put the drive back into bay. Nothing happens at all. Not the behaviour of an raid array I expected. Linux didn't recognise that controller at all, the shipped driver for w2k worked as expected -> system was running with an degraded raid. So, what about the state of the drivers for FreeBSD? Looking into source gave me the opinion that the two drives were handled as to independend ones, just mirroring/striping algos added. No special failure handling if connected via an FastTrack and mirrored. Using the striping really rocks - 53MB/sec write performance with two IDE 30GB drives. I asked Gigabyte for help and they told me that Promise will release their drivers for Linux and other Intel-Unixes in GPL at Dec., 20th. What a nice xmas present ;-) Hopefully anyone is going to implement that new drivers into FreeBSD or fix that problem.

I understand that the built-in NIC is now supported. Does anyone know how it rates in comparison to the Intel Pro/100 cards? Looking for differences in system load and network performance. Secondly, I would like to have environmental monitoring capabilities. From what I can glean from Intel, this board has an option called Hardware Management ASIC that provide this functionality. Is this what I think it is and if so, is it supported in FreeBSD? Lastly, and a little off-topic, the Intel site shows that the Retail Boxed version of this board includes the Hardware Management ASIC. Can anyone confirm this? The OEM version lists it as an option.

I'll possibly hack something in (like: if drive is in a mirror and fails, then mark it as failed in config-data and disable it). It's not more than needed. Some Tools for remirroring are real simple. > Personally (biassed opinion here), if you want ATA RAID, get a "real" > RAID controller from 3ware. If there is the possibility to boot up from a (software-)raid and USE it with no additional cost, I do prefer this. The implementation is not a big thing, most of the work is done already. So, why not _finish_ the work? IF I _really_ need a Raid, I use external Arrays (CMD, Infortrend f.ex.). But having such a benefit (mirrored ide, bootable) without high costs in a 1U system is worth using it for higher availability - if the drivers do support it. Thats _my_ personal opinion ;-) Thanks btw, Oliver -- -- http://www.nextra.de - INTERNET@WORK ----- oliver.blasnik@nextra.de -- Nextra Deutschland | Oliver Blasnik Senior System Administrator GmbH & Co KG | Lyoner Strasse 26 D-60528 Frankfurt Region Mitte | tel +49-69-66441-0 fax +49-69-66441-199 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Wed Nov 29 9:30:45 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mail-internal.nextra.de (mail.nextra.de [212.169.184.81]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 41FF137B401 for ; Wed, 29 Nov 2000 09:30:42 -0800 (PST) Received: from omnilinkw63 (f-euro.fw.nextra.de [212.169.184.9]) by mail-internal.nextra.de (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id SAA22446; Wed, 29 Nov 2000 18:30:31 +0100 (CET) Message-ID: <015e01c05a2a$1a6a1520$6560310a@omnilinkw63> From: "Oliver Blasnik" To: "Terry Glanfield" , References: <200011291716.RAA19113@program-products.co.uk> Subject: Re: ServerWorks SMbus Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2000 18:30:39 +0100 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2919.6700 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6700 Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi Terry, "Terry Glanfield" wrote: > Has anyone done any work to support the SMbus on the ServerWorks > ServerSet III chipset?
