I recently tried to get this driver working on one of the cheap 53C400 cards that accompany each HP ScanJet (these cards pile up in our office now :), but failed so far. I could act as a test person for this driver once i've got it to recognize the card (or i could bring one over to you during my vacation, Justin ;-). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) From owner-freebsd-scsi Sun Aug 18 00:21:07 1996 Return-Path: owner-freebsd-scsi Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id AAA00580 for freebsd-scsi-outgoing; Sun, 18 Aug 1996 00:21:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: from irz301.inf.tu-dresden.de (irz301.inf.tu-dresden.de [141.76.1.11]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id AAA00574 for ; Sun, 18 Aug 1996 00:21:03 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sax.sax.de (sax.sax.de [193.175.26.33]) by irz301.inf.tu-dresden.de (8.6.12/8.6.12-s1) with ESMTP id JAA25894 for ; Sun, 18 Aug 1996 09:21:02 +0200 Received: (from uucp@localhost) by sax.sax.de (8.6.12/8.6.12-s1) with UUCP id JAA23442 for freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org; Sun, 18 Aug 1996 09:21:01 +0200 Received: (from j@localhost) by uriah.heep.sax.de (8.7.5/8.6.9) id JAA15207 for freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org; Sun, 18 Aug 1996 09:07:38 +0200 (MET DST) From: J Wunsch Message-Id: <199608180707.JAA15207@uriah.heep.sax.de> Subject: Re: Error recovery To: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org Date: Sun, 18 Aug 1996 09:07:38 +0200 (MET DST) Reply-To: joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de (Joerg Wunsch) In-Reply-To: <199608172341.QAA28466@freefall.freebsd.org> from "Justin T.

The following 2 messages were on the console: ahc0: WARNING no command for scb2 (cmdcmplt) QOUTCNT == 0 ahc0: WARNING no command for scb19 (cmdcmplt) QOUTCNT == 0 The KB LEDs worked, external pings worked and I could switch virtual consoles. KB chars were echoed but no further action. The system is a 128MB Pentium 133, DTK motherboard, Adaptec 2940UW, 3 Micropolis 2GB 4221 drives, 1 16GB Mylex RAID (external wide), and 2 ethernet adapters. It will hopefully become an additional news server to supplement my other bsdi servers. The above crashes occurred while receiving a news feed. (I did add a quirk to the kernel so that multiple luns would be recognized on the Mylex array although I'm not using multiple luns at the moment.) The system ran for probably half an hour with the diffs before turning on the news spigot. After several minutes of feeding, the crash occurred. Since it takes a considerable amount of time to fsck the large news spool, I reverted to the previous kernel. Let me know if I can provide further info or other assistance.

Thanks, I removed AHC_SCBPAGING_ENABLE from the kernel config and have now processed several GBs of news without the forementioned problem.

DC390 (T): base on AMD53C974, SCSI-2 DC390W (T): base on NCR53C825A, Wide DC390U (T): base on NCR53C875, Ultra DC390F (T): base on NCR53C875, Ultra Wide They should be better choices over NCR81x since they are inexpensive and even better. The Tekram company developes their own FreeBSD driver, and now it's ready for FreeBSD 2.1.0R, 2.1.5R, 2.2-960801-SNAP. You can get the boot disk and kernel patch from : ftp://freebsd.csie.nctu.edu.tw/Upload/Tekram/ Now I want to ask a question .... The DC390 is ok since no FreeBSD driver supports AMD-chip yet. The DC390W/U/F are base on NCR825/875, and the ncr driver in FreeBSD will probe these cards, too. The problem is, we can't disable PCI device in userconfig, how do we make these two drivers (tekram, ncr) co-exist ? The NCR driver in freebsd doesn't work well with DC390F. The Tekram developes the driver themselves, and they are un-willing to merge their driver into ncr.c or make ncr.c works with their card. Currently the Tekram kernel patch will comment out the NCR825/NCR875 chip ID in ncr.c to avoid the probe conflicts. But I don't think it a solution at all. Any ideas ?

The driver does work under FreeBSD, and I use it under NetBSD quite often. Note, however, that if the changer is at a LUN other than 0, you'll have to add quirk entries to the MI code to deal with that. Also, the FreeBSD NCR53c8xx driver doesn't cope with LUNs properly, either, so you'll have to either fix it, or use a non-NCR53c8xx controller :-) (I punted on the NCR53c8xx :-) -- save the ancient forests - http://www.bayarea.net/~thorpej/forest/ -- Jason R.

I do not doubt that you observed problems, and it might be possible to fix the cause, but only if I have some idea of what fails in which situation and what error messages you get ...

No, but i doubt this would help you much at all.

Thus, I can use the entire SCSI disk for FreeBSD. Unfortunately, this makes autoboot fail, with a message that reads something like "Unable to change root to sd1". The SCSI drive is, of course, sd0. But it seems that the FreeBSD boot loader incorrectly counts wd0 as if it were the first SCSI device in this case. To me, this seems like a bug. But maybe it is a feature...? Is there a workaround (less get a dummy SCSI disk with a lower SCSI id :-) ? I can get things to work in the way indicated by the text early in the boot process, but such a manual boot method is not acceptable in the long run. I am using FreeBSD 2.1 and am now moving to 2.1.5.

I'm using ncr1 rev 2 int a irq 11 on pci0:11 (ncr1:5:0): "EXABYTE EXB-8200 2687" type 1 removable SCSI 1 st1(ncr1:5:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x0, drive empty with 2.1.0R without problems.

Ok, let me give a little more info... I wrote the "ch" driver under NetBSD/i386 (because I'm a NetBSD user, and am more familiar with NetBSD in general). The system I did the work on had an Adaptec 1742 on it. After some testing, working out the kinks, I ported the driver to the target system: FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE (don't recall the exact timestamp). This, of course, required the quirk entries for the MI code to deal with the additional LUNs. The FreeBSD devel system had an NCR53c810 in it. Everything was in order, and the "ch" still wasn't found. The only idea I had left was "NCR driver". Looking at the command entry point, there was a "shortcut" that immediately returned if some max LUN value was exceeded. This max LUN value was set to 0. So, I changed it to 1 to get the "ch" driver to work. Well, that didn't work, either. "command aborted" was the result of every command sent to the changer. (I see this with certain models of HP disk drives hooked up to NCR53c810s, too.) Err, that's not strictly true... I was able to do the inquiry command, and mode sense. The rest lost. Frustrated, I hooked the changer up to the production system, which has an Adaptec 2940 in it. *ding* All works fine. So, I punted trying to figure out why the NCR driver was losing. It simply wasn't an issue for me :-) ...and still isn't. I use that driver under NetBSD/i386 and NetBSD/sparc, both of which don't have NCR53c8xx controllers in them... :-) Ciao. -- save the ancient forests - http://www.bayarea.net/~thorpej/forest/ -- Jason R.
