Hi.
I posted a question to "questions" and got no nibbles, so this time, I thought
"hardware" might be more appropriate.

The poweredge 4600 has oodles of PCI busses, but 4.5-RELEASE-p4 doesn't detect
cards plugged in to three of them, the PCI-X ones.
My guess is this is a server-werks chipset issue.  "pciconf -v -l" indicates there are
CMIC-HC server werks devices.

I have tried with a PCI-X card with a BCM570X on it, and also with an old
64-bit, 33Mhz qlogic F/C card.

In both cases, the BIOS sees the cards, but the OS doesn't.

Here is the `pciconf -v -l' output:

I obviously missed the first part of this thread, but if you're trying
to get a Geforce4 Ti 4400 or any new NVidia card to work with the nv
driver, I have a patchset that does just that.  It simply adds the PCI
IDs and proper names for all of their newest cards, though I have only
tested with my new GeForce4 Ti 4400.  The patchset is at:

ftp://ftp.wolves.k12.mo.us/pub/stuff/nvpatch.tar.gz

You should be able to drop the patchset into the 'files' directory in
the XFree86-4-Server port and it should work.  If not, then manually
apply them.  The patchset will stay at that ftp location until it is
no longer required.

Hi

No.  The POWER3 chip is a relative of the PPC chip as seen in a Mac.  
Not the same chip but based on the same architecture as the desktop PPC 
chip.

if anyone can get FreeBSD to run on a pSeries - without a MAJOR hack -
you will be my personal god...  theoretically - shouldn't you be able to
run NetBSD on one of these?  are there drivers for SSA drives?

interesting assertion. it implies that there is a mechanism for dumping 
the pnp device 'facts' to the screen that i am heretofore unaware of.

i'd be *most* interested to find out what that is.

yes, but they are enumerated *very* quietly. i'd like to have a userspace 
ability to peek. 'tis a handy thing. 

i can su to root and run pciconf. neat tool. 

what's the pnp equivalent? pnpinfo, right? 

as i alluded to previously, it doesnt *tell* me anything. did i
miss a flag to pnpinfo that you are aware of and i am not? did miss an 
application that you are aware of and i am not?

my current belief is that adding an ioctl to /usr/src/sys/isa/pnp.c that 
allows a userland process to obtain these facts would be a positive thing.

then i'll just reimplement /usr/src/contrib/pnpinfo.c to utilize same.

> Can you please stop with this pointless quest now?

if it's pointless, u bet i'll stop!

but i'm currently hypothesizing that you are mistaken.

No.

You're running off down a path that has no benefit to either yourself or 
FreeBSD in the long run.  What you want to achieve is best handled by the 
use of ACPI; you can read the raw tables with acpidump and look at the 
resulting device tree with devinfo.

Consider investing time and effort where it will yield the best return.  
Futzing with pnpinfo is not a good example.

Can you be more specific about "the OS doesn't"
Can you supply dmesg output from a verbose boot, please?

Also, try this patch & see if it helps..

not in 4.5. will it be in 4.6? does it support non-ACPI machines?

of course! but it's the one that's on my laptop, and i'm probably not 
alone. 

the bulk of my career with FreeBSD has always been with 'lagging 
edge' technology. I've reached the point in my life where all my *desktop* 
boxes are legacy free, but my laptop wont be any time soon.

legacy support makes freebsd more *accessible*. esp in poorer economies
that really *need* to have access to FreeBSD on ancient hardware so that
they can spend their money on food and medicine and stuff....

my own first experience with FreeBSD was on a 386/33 at a time when
pentiums where the current platform. FreeBSD was a superior choice when
compared to Win3.11 or Win95 on said 386. I wonder if i'd be where i am
today if the minimum FreeBSD hardware requirement had been a 486....

well, if acpidump doesnt need acpi, then work on pnpinfo would be merely 
redundant. :-)

if acpidump requires acpi ( which seems to be the case ) then i 
believe that your assertion of uselessness is unsupported. because there 
are older computers that can be productively used with FreeBSD that dont 
have ACPI.

of course, you know much more about acpidump then i do, so if i am
mistaken and acpidump *will* work on older systems, then i'll consider
your strong advice.

this is a pretty strong statement! so i should have no problem with 
not having ACPI?

yup. best return is 'whatever works on my box' followed closely by 'best 
architecture for long term growth'.

> Futzing with pnpinfo is not a good example.

if acpidump can run on, or could be convinced to run on, my non-acpi
laptop, then i think that you are absolutely right. if it can,  i'll 
think really hard about moving to 5.0 so that i could help make *that* 
work.

I think the boot time bus walker may not want to walk past a
non-existing bus.  I don't know how to get around that..

PowerPC.  IBM's RISC replacement for the PC.  The same processor
family as in the Mac.

Not yet.  There's a project under way.

I don't know.

I have a similar machine here (dual processor 44p 270), and one of my
background projects is to get FreeBSD or NetBSD running on it.  From a
FreeBSD perspective, I'd prefer to wait until Benno has his Mac port
up and running :-)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Greetings. I recently posted to freebsd-questions about my audio issues but 
haven't recieved any workable answers. So, I thought I would try hardware.

My setup:

I have an MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU Motherboard which uses the VIA Apollo KT333 
chipset w/ the VT8233A Southbridge. It has integrated AC'97 Audio using 
RealTek's ALC 650 6-Channel chipset. Everything on this system is wonderful 
and flies with my FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE installation. The only problem is that 
I can only get the audio to partially work. My pertinent dmesg output line 
is:

pcm0: <VIA VT8233> port 0xe800-0xe8ff irq 9 at device 17.5 on pci0

It was detected beautifully so I ran "sh MAKEDEV snd0", successfully (I 
think) creating all the device nodes (as listed in the pcm driver man page).
Finally, following the suggestion from the FreeBSD Handbook, I installed 
and tried to use mpg123 to test my audio. Here is the output from that 
attempt:

frodo# mpg123 waste.mp3
[...omitted startup lines...]
pcm0:play:0: play interrupt timeout, channel dead

Since then, I tried playing an audio CD with xmms and it worked just fine. 
I can't, however, play an mp3 with xmms either. It just hangs forever until 
I kill it. KDE's aRts also hangs indefinately; completely useless. Now, 
just as I am authoring this email, when I try an mp3 with mpg123, instead 
of complaining about an interrupt timeout it just displays its usual 
startup mp3 decoding status and ends by outputting:

Playing MPEG stream from waste.mp3 ...
MPEG 1.0 layer III, 112 kbit/s, 44100 Hz joint-stereo

[4:16] Decoding of waste.mp3 finished.

No complaints, but also no sound and this all happens in the course of a 
fraction of a second. So, my question is pretty open ended. Does anyone 
have any idea if
a) My AC'97 RealTek chipset is truly supported by the PCM driver
b) If so, is there some bug or is my support only partial
c) If no to both 'b' cases, what are some of the things I may be doing wrong

Note: The audio works just fine under my Windows 98 installation (but I 
don't want to run windoze). Thanks in advance for any assistance.

No.

Do you have any good ideas on where to find SSA gear to develop drivers
against?

I've got everything but the enclosure and disks.  :)

I have tried with a hub and nothing has changed: same error.
My hub is built inside the monitor (Nokia 445Xpro).
My HW: Abit KT7A (bios rev: 1.3), K7 1333MHz, 1024 MB Ram 133MHz
This error is common to OpenBSD 3.0, NetBSD 1.5.2 and FreeBSD 4.5
I haven't tried older version of these O.S.
With windoze and linux all is fine (kernel 2.2 and kernel 2.4)
Hope this help.

I have not yet tried it with a hub (I will as soon as I get a chance).
One
thing I forgot to mention (which probabally confuses the issue more) is
that
the mouse works fine under Windows, and worked fine under freebsd-4.4 (i
reinstalled from the iso to get to 4.5, I wanted to start clean). I'll
try the hub idea, please let me know if you can think of anything
else. -Chris

Hi,

I have once asked if someone would be interested in implementing UDLR
and DVMRP and include it in FreeBSD ? 

Julian Elischer mentioned it would be fairly trivial to implement as a
node in Netgraph. However I am no programmer.

I was wondering if no one had interest in UDLR ? I understand that today's
broadband access do not require these unidirectional links, but I can't
believe no one needs this, since they are also plenty of other use for it
apart from the fact it can be used for unidirectional link (one way
internet access (uplink is done thru a modem or a different kind of
internet access link))

If someone is interested in develloping this, there is some code source
available (it is FreeBSD Release 2.2.x. based and has not been maintained
for a long time). 

Receivers boards
================
DVB-S PCI adapter drivers are also needed for devices from any of these
manufacturers

http://www.coship.com/English/products/cdvbany2010s.htm
http://www.broadlogic.com 
http://www.pentamedia.com
http://www.twinhan.com.tw

who might be ready to lend or give out hardware in order to help
devellopement of these drivers.

Uplink boards
=============
These boards must be able to:

- Transmit IP packet over DVB/MPEG 2 transport stream 

- Variable maximum data rate determined by external clock generator,
  transparent for reception cards 

- ISA Bus 

As of today I have not found (yet) transmit (uplink) boards manufacturer

As for uplink boards the devellopement of such drivers are to be a problem
since it is very unlikely that anyone as a personal space segment on a DVB
capable satellite and the necessary hardware

However if anyone has ideas on how to build a test cheap unit for uplink
and downlink testing locally , please let me know. 

Also since Bill Fenner is both part of the UDLR IETF BOARD and member of
the Mbone FreeBSD Team, we have a great source of internal knowledge in
this protocol etc...(In the event that Bill agrees to help (of course))

http://people.freebsd.org/~fenner/

I have contacted the author of the RFC for UDLR Emmanuel Duros but as of
now it is to no avail since he has not answered my email (it has been
several months)

Here are some pointers to some available literature and source code:

What's being detected is the AC97 audio in the VIA chipset, not your MB's
external ALC650 audio.  As the audio on the chipset is not wired in, you
get nix out.  You don't show it but your dmesg probably is listing the
unknown PCI id for the ALC650, which I don't know the FreeBSD support
status of.

As your BIOS would most likely be initialising the audio hardware, it
doesn't surprise me that playing a CD through it would work (I've seen
similar before with unsupported sound cards).

Hello, all.  I hope this is the correct forum for my question.

I'm attempting to install FreeBSD 4.5 on a new system I've just put 
together (w/ two 60GB drives).  This is the first time I've ever 
installed a *nix system.

After reading the documentation & notes and the book I bought, I still 
wanted clarification before going any further in my install process.  I 
know my question is probably simple, but I wanted someone else's opinion 
before I potentially messed things up.

My scenario is as follows: When I reach the part of the install which 
asks which disk I want to put my files on, I am given the warning, 
``WARNING! A geometry of 116301/16/63 for ad0 is incorrect. Using a more 
likely geometry...''.  Upon clicking OK, I am given the fdisk utility to 
create my slice(s).  The second line of fdisk gives me: 7297 cyls/255 
heads/63 sectors = 117226305 sectors (57239MB) which sounds similar to 
my 60GB disc.

Even though I got the error message, is it okay to continue with the 
install, or do I need to change something in the BIOS?

Any advice/assistance/help, etc. would be appreciated.  Thanks for your 
time.

Cheers,
-Mark
USA

It is probably right.  The real test is to see if it boots up ok after
you install.  If it doesn't boot ok, then reinstall and use the other
geometry.  As long as it boots ok that is all the geometry is used for.

I have an Adaptec 2100S in a RAID 5 array, on a FBSD 4.4-stable.  It's
been working fine (uptime 120 days), but the last two days I've gotten
this error:

Shared Memory Allocation Failed, To Size = 400, From Size = fc00, Errno =
1c
Shared Memory Allocation Failed, To Size = 400, From Size = fc00, Errno =
1cEngine connect failed: COMPATIBILITY number

Now, running the 'raidutil' command will only give this error. I've
reported this to Adaptec (which I'd like to publicly commend for being
*very* responsive to this), but I'm curious if anyone else has seen
something like this out of Adaptec cards and if they resolved it.

Thanks!

Legacy support was typically implemented when it wasn't "legacy".  
Continuing work on hardware that's been obsoleted when we don't have the 
time and resources to keep up with the pace of newer developments simply 
guarantees that we will be left further and further behind.

Hi All,

Slightly off topic;

I read on this list that 3ware was discontinuing their Escalade rang,
and concentrating on some of their NAS products. Based on this
information I held off purchasing one of these units.

But, judging by what I read on this list, and see on the 3ware site it
looks like the product line is still active, at least the 7xxx series.

I don't want to buy one of these units, and then in 3 months time, not
be able to buy more units, because they have been discontinued!

What about the freebsd 3ware utilities, are these still being maintained
(Mike?)

Thanks :)
-Jev

Hello,

I've bought a ARCHOS Recorder 20 (not the Studio, which used a
different chipset), and when plugged it is correctly
recognised by the USB subsystem as a umass device:
| umass0: ARCHOS           ARCHOS USB2.0 (P4a), rev 2.00/11.01, addr 3
| da2 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
| da2: <FUJITSU MHN2200AT 7256> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device 
| da2: 650KB/s transfers
| da2: 19077MB (39070080 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 19077C)

now my problem is that when trying to access it, it failes:
| (da2:umass-sim0:0:0:0): READ(06). CDB: 8 0 0 0 1 0 
| (da2:umass-sim0:0:0:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:21,0
| (da2:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Logical block address out of range

Does someone have an idea (and suggestions)?

For information here is the result of 'usbdevs':
bash# usbdevs -v
Controller /dev/usb0:
addr 1: self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000), VIA(0x0000), rev 0x0100
 port 1 addr 2: low speed, power 50 mA, config 1, USB Receiver(0xc501), Logitech(0x046d), rev 0x0910
 port 2 addr 3: self powered, config 2, ARCHOS USB2.0 (P4a)(0x0060), ARCHOS          (0x05ab), rev 0x1101


Thanks

I have a question about writing to parallel ports.
I am trying to make a basic C program to write simple data to a parallel
port, but when I try, I get an error on opening /dev/lpt0 as "Device Busy"
I tried echo 255 > /dev/lpt0, and also got "Device Busy". When looking at
all my processes, I didn't see anything that visibly took control of
/dev/lpt0. In dmesg, I get both ppc0 and lpt0 detected with an IRQ and IO
address fine. What could be wrong? Thank you

it.

/dev/ppi0 -> /dev/ppi2 does exist :p
For those who are reading, I'm testing via a simple Led circuit.. led
connected to data pin one and grounded via ground pins. I'm also using the
code snippet used in 'man ppi'.
