It's not likely to come back as it doesn't fit in with the New World Order where the drivers themselves control the mappings alongside the isa/pnp code. The solution is to: 1) Make sure you have "controller pnp0" and "device pcm0" in your config file. (nothing more, no "at isa? port 0x220" etc) 2) If that doesn't work, ie: you get an "unknown 0: ..." or something, then you need to get the device LOGICAL ID to us. send us a 'pnpinfo -v' or something so we can add the device id to dev/pcm/isa/* so that it's recognized by the driver. 3) If you have no luck, send us a dmesg showing the old probe and attach routines from a kernel that works. Beware, if you used pcm before, the device will be probed as pcm0, not pcm1. So, after you get something like this: pcm0: at port 0x534-0x537,0x388-0x38b,0x220-0x22f irq 5 drq 1,0 on isa0 .. you will need to 'cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV snd0' - otherwise your /dev/dsp etc symlinks will point to /dev/dsp1 (ie: pcm1) which won't exist anymore.

I have compiled in two IDE device handlers into the kernel, but during boot, the kernel reports not finding anything on the second handler. I can return with more specific info, but would like to ask if anyone with BP6 if they have tried to use more than one device handler? Does it work? How?

Make sure that you connect your DVD-ROM in Secondary/Master side, not Secondary/Slave. The later case is an usual WRONG configuration. If you can upgrade your box to -current, lemme see if ata driver can recognize your DVD-ROM. BTW, if you use ata driver, it is no need to include ata1/ata2 into your kernel config file.

Your description above indicates the DVD/CD drive is set to be a SLAVE. To be detected as the only device on the secondary controller, it must be set to be a MASTER. There is usually a jumper on the back of the drive near the IDE connector to set the drive as MASTER or SLAVE. -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."

Just to make sure I am implementing it correctly I have a duel p2-266 with an intel dakota motherboard...my kernel looks like this.... options SMP options APIC_IO options NCPU=2 options NBUS=3 options NAPIC=1 options NINTR=24 Now I was told when running make to use the -j option. But I have tried numbers from 1 to 20 it seems the larger the number the faster it gets. Is there a convention I should be following to utilize the smp in compiles?

If you don't supply one, it does every thing serially, and you won't benefit from the second CPU. The point at which you see the biggest benefit will depend on what the limit on performance is. In my machine, the limit is almost always disk performance.

Well I did some benchmarks of doing make buildworld for -current on a -current box. I went from 1 to 20 in steps of 2. From memory the best resulsts where about -j 12, but that ate a LOT of memory :) If you actually want to use your computer while doing a compile then -j 4 is probably OK. The system I did it on was a dual PII-350 with an IDE disk and 128 meg of RAM. --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-smp Tue Sep 28 19:44:29 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-smp@freebsd.org Received: from pop3-3.enteract.com (pop3-3.enteract.com [207.229.143.32]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 85DE014E8D for ; Tue, 28 Sep 1999 19:44:26 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dscheidt@enteract.com) Received: (qmail 94506 invoked from network); 29 Sep 1999 02:44:25 -0000 Received: from shell-1.enteract.com (dscheidt@207.229.143.40) by pop3-3.enteract.com with SMTP; 29 Sep 1999 02:44:25 -0000 Date: Tue, 28 Sep 1999 21:44:24 -0500 (CDT) From: David Scheidt To: Daniel O'Connor Cc: freebsd-smp@freebsd.org, "Adam D.

I have a dual PII-400, with 256MB. One Ultra2 SCSI disk, and two IDE disks. I get about ~55 minute buildworlds, with idle CPU most of the time, and ~100 disk transactions per disk involved. Memory isn't a factor, either.

Hmm.. my best was ~54 minutes.. Seems quite strange given I have an all round slower box.. I did a buildworld on a friends dual PII-450 box w/ 10k disks in 45 minutes, so perhaps you need to increase the number of processes :) (ie try -j 12 or similar) --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-smp Tue Sep 28 20: 1: 5 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-smp@freebsd.org Received: from pop3-3.enteract.com (pop3-3.enteract.com [207.229.143.32]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 1DB0615034 for ; Tue, 28 Sep 1999 20:01:03 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dscheidt@enteract.com) Received: (qmail 2032 invoked from network); 29 Sep 1999 03:01:02 -0000 Received: from shell-1.enteract.com (dscheidt@207.229.143.40) by pop3-3.enteract.com with SMTP; 29 Sep 1999 03:01:02 -0000 Date: Tue, 28 Sep 1999 22:01:02 -0500 (CDT) From: David Scheidt To: Daniel O'Connor Cc: "Adam D.

I only time them when I am actually using the box, so i tend to have netscape, mpg123, an editor or five, and a bunch of ssh sessions up. So some of the cycles are not for someting else.a Lately, my buildwoprlds have failed if I do more than -j4 or so.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-smp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi... I just acquired, at work, a Dual-P166 ALR Server with 512MB of RAM and somethign like 32gig of disk space to use as a Squid Cache Server...and have installed FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE on it (its the first one that I get into our machine room, of hopefully many if I can convince them)... When I boot with SMP enabled, I get: panic: mpfps Base Table HOSED! mp_lock = 0000001; cpuid = 0; lapic_id = 00000000 I looked through the archives, and there is a thread on this that Steve responded with: "Traditionally I've used config options, perhaps 'IGNORE_MPTABLE_176' would be good. Then document it in LINT in the SMP section. At the very least I would want an informational message to come out to the console about "ignoring invalid MPtable entry: #xx: during boot if this goes into the tree." But, how do I find out what I want to ignore? And does this even apply in my case, since my BIOS is an *old* PhoenixBIOS 4.04.x? This machine has been used with Solaris/SMP as well as Novell, so we know that the hardware itself works... Thanks... Marc G.
