Before doing this I was getting random panics with an error msg of "I/O channel check, likely hardware failure" followed by a lockup. Still clocking at 25Mhz, I'm afraid to try 33Meg. Thanks to those who wrote to explain that a DX4 triples the clock, why don't they just call the blasted thing a DX3 ? :-) Before setting cache to write through I could crash the board on a iozone 20 every time. Now I can run iozone with any file size with no problems. Anyone got any thoughts on whether this board is broken or just plain not capable of handeling a DX4 at full speed ? It came in Sat and of course MDCs tech support doesn't work on Sat :-) I've been fiddeling ever since. Planning on calling them tomorow, not sure as to whether I should just send this thing back and demand a new board or just accept that one of their "certified" configurations isn't :-( JT "Jeff Tyler says:" > From owner-freebsd-hardware@freefall.freebsd.org Sun Dec 31 12:57:52 1995 > From: Jeff Tyler > Message-Id: <199512311732.MAA01539@jthome.jthome.com> > Subject: Problems with a DX4/100 in a Micronics JX30WB VL/ISA mb > To: hardware@FreeBSD.org > Date: Sun, 31 Dec 1995 12:32:03 -0500 (EST) > Organization: Never touch the stuff ... > Location: Eight miles from the rude bridge that arched the flow ... > Phone: (508)-440-8624 > System: FreeBSD jthome.jthome.com 2.0.5-RELEASE > X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] > Content-Type: text > Sender: owner-hardware@FreeBSD.org > Precedence: bulk > > Hi, > I just upgraded to a dx4/100 on a Micronics JX30WB vl/isa > motherboard and I've had some problems getting the system to stabilize.

In fact, the only problem that I have experienced is when trying to make the /usr/ports/net/irc distribution, the system locks up completely when downloading the compressed tar file. My connection is currently a full time 28.8 dial up to our provider and I am using user ppp, so I expect I didn't do something correctly in setting it up as I get messages like the following within minutes of launching user ppp: connet80# ppp User Process PPP.

Some people here in Finland use Mylex (sp?) RAID5 + Linux NFS server. It is connected using Fast Wide SCSI. So if you can use AHA 2940W or 3940W you can use it (?). I think FreeBSD is supporting 2940W and 3940W (is it? I am using 2940). The only problem I can see is the huge partition it defines if you use 4G disks you will have 4*4G (5*4G?) partition. There has been some problems even in 4G partitions in FreeBSD (with dump at least). I am very interested in RAID + FreeBSD + NFS systems. Please write if you have some info about them.

I cloned my disc from my working current (of mid december) I added a 2 serial + 2 parallel card given me by a friend (who's never used the card, he in turn was given it by another friend) The card is config'd for the normal 3f8 4, 2f8 3, 378 , 278 & is marked MADE N TAIWAN R.O.C RTA-03H(V2) The system boots fine with the card's own 2 Winbond W86C451 SIO ICs, & the 1st parallel works fine too (2nd untried). When I remove a SIO I get sio0 not found at 0x3f8 sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa The Problem: When in the 1st Serial IC socket I put a new S9442AF PC16550DN PATENTED I sometimes get sio0 not found at 0x3f8 sio1 not found at 0x2f8 lpt0 not found at 0x378 and sometimes sio0 not found at 0x3f8 sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa sio1: type 16450 lpt0 not found at 0x378 (& what causes the difference I've not discovered yet, but that's minor) I've tested the 2 16550s, 1 at a time, in a spare 1 serial + 1 parallel card they report OK: sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa sio0: type 16550A sio1 not found at 0x2f8 lpt0 at 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa lpt0: Interrupt-driven port Perhaps there's something weird about my 2+2 card, as I'm seeing 2 errors: - 16550 not recognised on this card (but same IC OK on another card) - the parallel port recognition fails too - A 16550 in sio0 seems to obscure recognition of sio1 16450 ... this may be a card associated weirdity, or just possibly FreeBSD recognition code is weak here ? I've used a 2.1.0 boot flop as well as my own custom kernel & see same behaviour.

I have added a psm0 line (exactly the way it was in the LINT config) along with the PSM_NO_RESET option and made the device, but the kernel still does not think the mouse is there. It is, since I am writing this mail from the same box under Win95. I have looked at psm.c and inserted some debugging printf's and the probe read (the inb() call) is returning 0x55. The check it seems to be doing is if bit 2 is set, the mouse is not there. Is this correct? It also assumes that it is at port 0x60, and IRQ 12. I know the interrupt is correct, and I assume the port it right. Does anyone else have a PS/2 AUX mouse and have it work under FreeBSD?
