I can not find a driver for it anywhere. The motherboard is all ISA with no PCI slots on it. The scsi adapter which is built on the motherboard I'm guessing would be with the ISA bridge.

The Prosignia VS is an EISA system so you can pick up a supported Adaptec AHA2740 or 2740-AT for $20 or less on eBay. -- | Matthew N.

Yes, but only in -current after January 6th or so. The ahc driver is the driver that supports the Adaptec Ultra160 boards.

Originally had problems with it under linux 2.2.13, but those were resolved as of 2.2.14. Currently using 3.4-STABLE dmesg output as follows: wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): wd0: 2441MB (4999680 sectors), 4960 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): wd1: 39082MB (80041248 sectors), 79406 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S Trying to use the fdisk portion of /stand/sysinstall post install configuration informs me that the 'A geometry of 79406/16/63 for wd1 is incorrect, using a more likely geometry. It switches to 4982/255/63. No matter what I try, I cannot get this to work properly. I have heard there were problems with the driver in 3.x for larger drives in CHS mode, however this drive is in LBA mode, or so the BIOS informs me anyway. As far as I can tell, newfs claims to have finished properly, when using the next option for setting up disk labels? I forget the terminology, please forgive me.. anyway, it runs newfs, and that APPEARS to finish properly, however it gives an error. Though I don't know how important this error, as the handbook clearly states 'Ignore all error messages relating to being unable to mount this new slice, and exit sysinstall, then edit /etc/fstab and mount it' Or something to that effect. It's on http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/disks.html if anyone's that interested. I have tried creating the slice in both normal, and dangerously dedicated mode.. the only perceivable difference thus far that I've noticed is that going to dangerously dedicated resets any custom geometry I have inputted with the (G) command, someone might want to look into that. I guess my question really boils down to, is there any way out of this problem? I'm fairly sure that it's not a BIOS issue, as I have stated, the drive worked flawlessly under linux 2.2.14, and windows without any special tweaking needed although using linux is not an option at the current time. I have the latest BIOS update for my board, I have checked before sending this message, was released 10/19/1999. I have heard rumors that the 4.0 RC's do not exhibit this behavior I am experiencing. If this is true will the changes be back-ported to the 3.X branch? There is still a 3.5 release on target for the relatitely near future, no? Is there anything I can do to make this work?

If you see more than that here, it means that the driver will screw up disk addresses. > Trying to use the fdisk portion of /stand/sysinstall post install > configuration informs me that the 'A geometry of 79406/16/63 for wd1 is > incorrect, using a more likely geometry. It switches to 4982/255/63. No This is probably OK. Neither of these geometries is supported by IDE drive hardware. The driver ignores any changes here and keeps using the default geometry (which doesn't work if it has too many cylinders). The geometry "used" for writing partition tables needs to be consistent and acceptable to the BIOS. xxx/255/63 is normal for drives larger than a few GB. > matter what I try, I cannot get this to work properly. I have heard there > were problems with the driver in 3.x for larger drives in CHS mode, however > this drive is in LBA mode, or so the BIOS informs me anyway. This just means that the BIOS uses LBA mode in each i/o command that it sends to the drive. The wd driver has no idea which mode the BIOS uses. It uses CHS mode unless it is condifured to use LBA mode.

Just FYI, I'm porting SmartFirmware to an Intel L440GX+ right now due to interest from some customers. SF is IEEE-1275 `OpenBoot' compliant firmware written in ANSI C. Please see for details. If all goes well (hah!) I should have a preliminary beta running out of flash in 1-2 months, depending on how much free time I can find. It'll be pretty limited and won't support most legacy devices initially, and the console will be only on /pci/isa/serial. Once SmartFirmware is running from ROM, the next step is to port some of the more popular OSes such as OpenBSD, Linux, and FreeBSD. SF won't be able to run any OS that needs a PC BIOS nor any cards that have only x86 ROMs (well, those without builtin C drivers). Anyway, it'll take a while due to other work. I'll post a note when I have something running if enough people are interested. Longer-term plans are to port to a few additional motherboards and devices depending on demand. -- Parag Patel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Sat Mar 11 6:31: 7 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from news-ma.rhein-neckar.de (news-ma.rhein-neckar.de [193.197.90.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E97D037BC26 for ; Sat, 11 Mar 2000 06:30:58 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from daemon@bigeye.rhein-neckar.de) Received: from bigeye.rhein-neckar.de (uucp@localhost) by news-ma.rhein-neckar.de (8.8.8/8.8.8) with bsmtp id PAA19532 for freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org; Sat, 11 Mar 2000 15:30:57 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from daemon@bigeye.rhein-neckar.de) Received: (from daemon@localhost) by bigeye.rhein-neckar.de (8.9.3/8.9.3) id MAA53342 for freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org; Sat, 11 Mar 2000 12:41:04 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from daemon) From: naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de (Christian Weisgerber) Subject: Re: console friendly motherboard/BIOS ?

Branching off my own set of concerns: * Has anybody so far actually successfully ordered a PC Weasel? I've been told that it would become available RSN, next quarter, next month, etc for what must be the better part of a year. A few days ago it still said "inquire" on their website. * I've heard rumors that (some) modern BIOSes don't support MDA any longer. Any experiences there? * Finally, ISA is really being phased out. At this year's CeBIT many board manufacturers displayed Athlon boards (I didn't look at the Intel ones) that were PCI/AGP only, without any ISA slots. Actually I appreciate that move, but it kills the current Weasel. > can anyone suggest a motherboard/BIOS that does this? i'm not > picky about the CPU, any current models would likely be plenty > fast. Sure. Take any alpha board with SRM. Since SRM is required to run BSD in the first place, any supported alpha will do. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Sat Mar 11 7:51:38 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from area51.v-wave.com (area51.v-wave.com [24.108.26.39]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id EB1E737BC1A for ; Sat, 11 Mar 2000 07:51:34 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from flatline@area51.v-wave.com) Received: (qmail 13980 invoked by uid 1001); 11 Mar 2000 15:52:21 -0000 Date: Sat, 11 Mar 2000 08:52:21 -0700 From: Chris Wasser To: kythorn@dark-tower.ab.ca Cc: freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Problems with Linksys NIC and the new dc driver.
