Try turning the "PnP OS installed" option off. Ah, a clue! OTOH its a 1994 BIOS with a last rev date of 1996. Not so sure it has PnP. It does have the AMI "WinBIOS". > Interesting that the collection of boards that have this behaviour are > just hitting the collection of users that have to ask about it. I'm > sure there's something profound to be derived from this. Duh? I've had the card for 2 years. It has never been installed anywhere but on this cheap UMC-based MB. It (de0) worked with FreeBSD 2.2.2. On removal of the VL-bus Adpatec the only remaining thing changed in hardware has been an upgrade from 16 MB plain non-parity memory to 32 MB of EDO. How do I query my local cvs archive for a history of changes in the de driver? The syntax escapes me. But I have figured out how to checkout versions as of a certain date. Shooting for that date isn't any fun. Will look for PnP. Will try selecting "BIOS Defaults" too as others have suggested. Won't be near that machine again until Thursday.

Some allow you to control the pool from which PCI IRQs are assigned. Modern BIOSses allow you to nominate IRQs which will be routed for use by legacy (ISA) hardware.

It's doubtful whether the 'de' card will improve your performance noticeably, depending on the PCI/VLB architecture of the system. You might also have the 'de' card in a slave-only PCI slot, where it's not going to work properly. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Sun Aug 2 22:36:29 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id WAA28890 for freebsd-hardware-outgoing; Sun, 2 Aug 1998 22:36:29 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from carbon.laserlab.com ([199.106.183.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id WAA28885 for ; Sun, 2 Aug 1998 22:36:28 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from gregb@carbon.laserlab.com) Received: (from gregb@localhost) by carbon.laserlab.com (8.9.0/8.9.0) id WAA19882 for freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org; Sun, 2 Aug 1998 22:36:18 -0700 (PDT) From: Gregory Benjamin Message-Id: <199808030536.WAA19882@carbon.laserlab.com> Subject: Does freeBSD run on HP pavilion 8290/8380 To: freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Sun, 2 Aug 1998 22:36:17 -0700 (PDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I am considering the purchase of one of these machines expressly for the purpose of running freeBSD.

The card would probe OK - but then just sit there and say: "ahc0: board not responding" I posted a question into -hardware, which didn't get any replies, I also searched the archives - this problem is an old one, and not properly resolved either... Most the old replies were along the lines of "Termination", "Check termination" etc. ;-) It is not a termination problem. There is no definitive answer, but I thought I'd post what I've found thus far: (Someone has already posted something hinting along these lines). There is a problem between certain BIOS / revisions of the Adaptec 2940, 2940UW etc., the motherboard chipset / PCI implementation - and the ahc driver in FreeBSD. To fix my problem - I swapped the 2940 that said "board not responding" with an identical (but earlier revision) 2940 from another machine - and it worked. The 'offending' 2940 also worked in the other machine (so it must be more than just 2940 revision & FreeBSD related - i.e. it must relate to the motherboard's chipset etc. as well). Whilst the above is not a 'definitive' fix for the problem - it does explain it a bit more than anyone else has - and offer a solution (try to get a different / earlier revision of the board ;-) I'd like to suggest we put this in the FAQ somewhere? - or anywhere else more appropriate? If someone else _has_ posted more info, or a solution - and I've not seen it, my apologies - I've just spent the past week getting very annoyed... I'm now running FreeBSD on our 3rd identical machine, and I'm calm...

You can get more details about the card by visiting www.matrox.com For the other cards (e.g. Mystique) which does have an add-on video capture card, I don't think theres any FreeBSD support yet for the capture card... XFree does support the Millenium & Mysqtiques quite nicely though for display's / x-servers... Regards, Karl Pielorz ps. The Millenium 1 is a nice card, I still have a 4Mb one in my main machine here ;-) Rob Schofield wrote: > > I have heard that the MM 1 is expandable to add on a video capture > daughter board (or other toys).

I pulled down another version of 2.2.7 bootflop last night just to be sure, ran with -cv, then entered the device configure menu before running the install. By chopping out the various bits, I cut down the probe list. The only vaguely related 3COM device in the default list was the 3C509 on ep0 (other than the zp0 Etherlink III, but that's PCMCIA...). I modified the device parameters to match the info I hauled out of a Diagnostic prog included with the card (I/O address, assigned IRQ), and *LO AND BEHOLD*, during the probe list, ep0 came up as a recognised EISA 579 device. I have to confess that I had not thought of doing this as it appeared anti-intuitive after reading the various kernel config files I had from older versions on CD; can you explain how the probe sequence is meant to find "all" possible devices on a system? Surely, if you have a limited set of devices used in the mini-kernel on the boot/install floppy, then anything fancy (like the 579) can't be used to install? Should I be building in an ordinary ISA NE2000 clone to do an FTP download install?

The B revision of the Fast EtherLink is not supported, my system runs into exactly the same problem if I load my 3C905B instead of my A (I have a pair of them). Hopefully the new xl driver should resolve this problem by implementing dedicated 3C905B support, with full support for the busmastering DMA mode the 3C905s are capable of.

It has hardware BNC/UTP autodetect. The Accton 2216 is also available with dual media (hardware autodetect).

I'm having a problem with it's ethernet connectivity. Anytime I telnet to/from the machine, or ftp, or XDM, I have intermittent lag. Every few seconds my X will freeze for a couple seconds.

Most 3com cards don't have a programmable multicast filter, so to handle multicast you have to put them into promiscuous mode and then do the filtering manually (ie. more software overhead). The new 3c905B does have a real multicast filter, and some of their older hardware (eg. 3c503, 3c505) might have done OK, but the '509 and '589 certainly don't. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Wed Aug 5 15:30:57 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA05777 for freebsd-hardware-outgoing; Wed, 5 Aug 1998 15:30:57 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from poseidon.hamsterville.ultranet.com (poseidon.hamsterville.ultranet.com [209.6.79.18]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA05768 for ; Wed, 5 Aug 1998 15:30:52 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ben@poseidon.hamsterville.ultranet.com) Received: (from ben@localhost) by poseidon.hamsterville.ultranet.com (8.9.0/8.9.0) id SAA25166 for freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org; Wed, 5 Aug 1998 18:27:08 -0400 (EDT) From: Ben Goodwin Message-Id: <199808052227.SAA25166@poseidon.hamsterville.ultranet.com> Subject: more: Ethernet lag/connectivity on 227R To: freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Wed, 5 Aug 1998 18:27:08 -0400 (EDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL40 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I just noticed that if I ping -f localhost, I get all of 40 packets/sec.

Card was functioning a year or so ago in this system. Card has never been removed from the slot it used to work in. Only change was an attempt to add a VL-bus Adaptec card in addition to the de0 and a PCI Adaptec 2940. The de0 was measurably better than the NE2000. The de0 could hold its own with the SGI and Sun workstations on the net, while the NE2000 thruput may be limited by the amount of CPU it uses. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

IE: vlan0 is assigned an address 192.168.0.0/28, vlan1 192.168.1.0/25, etc. There is some sort of standard for this "vlan trunking" as I'll call it, but I have seen no mention of it in the archives.

Actually the current geometry (as possibly initialized by the BIOS). Several geometries are relevant here: a) The default geometry for the drive. b) The geometry initialized by the BIOS (possibly none, if the BIOS uses LBA mode and translates CHS for old interrupt interfaces to LBA). If no geometry is initialized, then the current geometry is prayerfully the default one. Recommended practice is to initialize it so that you don't have to pray. c) The hardware geometry initialized by FreeBSD. If the LBA driver flag is used, then I think a drive reset serves to initialize to geometry (a). Otherwise, geometry (a) is certainly initialized. d) The current geometry for the drive = geometry initialized by last OS or BIOS that initialized the geometry. e) The software geometry put into the in-core label for the whole disk. Same as (c) for the !LBA case; fake for the LBA case. Kernel dumps trash the disk if geometry (d) != geometry (e). >In a correctly configured system, geometry >is a nonissue. Not true. There are lots of booting and coexistence-with-improperly- configured-system issues.

What am I missing here? I thought LBA meant "logical block addressing". Where does "geometry" (by which I understand bogus mapping to cylinder/head/sector values) come into it?

Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I loaded up the 3.0 SNAP the other day and things seemed to be going well, and then I decided to try and put the DEC-21140 based board I had into full-duplex mode. Needless to say I also put the EtherSwitch it was connected to into full-duplex mode (I know the switch handles this well as I have a bunch of Solaris boxes running full-duplex on the same switch). My throughput came to a screeching halt, I could barely even FTP any files across. Also even though the machine claimed it was in full-duplex mode, it's still showing collisions even after a fresh reboot. Here is what I get from ifconfig: $ ifconfig -a de0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 207.114.0.144 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 207.114.0.255 inet 207.114.0.241 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 207.114.0.255 inet 207.114.0.242 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 207.114.0.255 ether 00:c0:f0:30:0d:ad media: 10baseT/UTP (10baseT/UTP) status: active supported media: autoselect 100baseTX 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP Also looking at dmesg from the reboot, it appears to be in full-duplex: de0: rev 0x22 int a irq 11 on pci0.20.0 de0: 21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.2 de0: address 00:c0:f0:30:0d:ad de0: enabling 10baseT port de0: enabling Full Duplex 10baseT port Now the way I did this, was to just set the following in my rc.conf file on the machine: ifconfig_de0="inet 207.114.0.144 netmask 255.255.255.0 media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex" So with all the above set, still a netstat -i shows: $ netstat -i Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll de0 1500 00.c0.f0.30.0d.ad 238593178 11 237898092 5096726 4662492 de0 1500 207.114 u2 238593178 11 237898092 5096726 4662492 So it is seeing collisions, and I can only assume it's runing in half-duplex mode, even though everything seems to point to full-duplex. So does anyone have any ideas? Is the full-duplex option broken in 3.0 current? As this machine is being used for an IRC server, it's seeing a lot of small packets, so running full-duplex would sure cut out a lot of collisions. --- Howard Leadmon - hdl@abs.net - http://www.abs.net ABSnet Internet Services - Phone: 410-361-8160 - FAX: 410-361-8162 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Thu Aug 6 23:41:14 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id XAA07336 for freebsd-hardware-outgoing; Thu, 6 Aug 1998 23:41:14 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from implode.root.com (implode.root.com [198.145.90.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id XAA07310; Thu, 6 Aug 1998 23:41:10 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from root@implode.root.com) Received: from implode.root.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by implode.root.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id XAA13991; Thu, 6 Aug 1998 23:37:37 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199808070637.XAA13991@implode.root.com> To: Howard Leadmon cc: freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: 3.0-19980720-SNAP & de driver full-duplex troubles??

If you really need full-duplex to work, then you might considering buying an Intel Pro/100B card; the overall performance/overhead is better with it, too. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Thu Aug 6 23:49:55 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id XAA08663 for freebsd-hardware-outgoing; Thu, 6 Aug 1998 23:49:55 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from control.colossus.dyn.ml.org (pm7-28.sba1.avtel.net [207.71.222.128]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id XAA08653 for ; Thu, 6 Aug 1998 23:49:47 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dburr@colossus.dyn.ml.org) Received: (from dburr@localhost) by control.colossus.dyn.ml.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id XAA16117 for freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org; Thu, 6 Aug 1998 23:48:02 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dburr) Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.3 [p0] on FreeBSD X-Priority: 3 (Normal) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="_=XFMail.1.3.p0.FreeBSD:980806234802:13381=_" Date: Thu, 06 Aug 1998 23:48:02 -0700 (PDT) Organization: Computer Help From: Donald Burr To: FreeBSD Hardware Subject: trouble gettting Wearnes ATAPI CD-ROM to work Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org This message is in MIME format --_=XFMail.1.3.p0.FreeBSD:980806234802:13381=_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii The CD-ROM on one of my machines has recently died, and since I am running very low on cash, I replaced it with an ATAPI CD-ROM that was borrowed from my roommate's machine (she's not using it at this time).

It has to do with the fact that for legacy interoperability reasons the LBA and CHS numbers in the MBR have to match up, and the 'wd' driver still uses the CHS interface to the disk registers (lowest common denominator). The drive itself changes the mapping between the CHS register values and the LBA address based on what it thinks it's geometry is. Unless you know what it thinks it is, you can't second-guess it to get your data where you think it's going. The bootstrap CHS issue will hopefully be getting better soon; the use of the CHS interface to disks is going to be with us at least in the legacy case for some time yet. There is work underway on a replacement for the current ATA subsystem, but it really needs a sponsor. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Sat Aug 8 11:33:24 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id LAA09990 for freebsd-hardware-outgoing; Sat, 8 Aug 1998 11:33:24 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from godzilla.zeta.org.au (godzilla.zeta.org.au [203.15.68.22]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id LAA09981 for ; Sat, 8 Aug 1998 11:33:21 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from bde@godzilla.zeta.org.au) Received: (from bde@localhost) by godzilla.zeta.org.au (8.8.7/8.8.7) id EAA01574; Sun, 9 Aug 1998 04:32:57 +1000 Date: Sun, 9 Aug 1998 04:32:57 +1000 From: Bruce Evans Message-Id: <199808081832.EAA01574@godzilla.zeta.org.au> To: grog@lemis.com, mike@smith.net.au Subject: Re: IBM 16 GB IDE HDD Cc: bde@zeta.org.au, hardware@FreeBSD.ORG, ks@itp.ac.ru Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org >> >> 0x1000 Use LBA addressing instead of the default CHS addressing. >> > >> > This is seriously incomplete and out of date.

No, it has to do with bugs in the driver. Due to lack of personhours, parts of the driver still use CHS while other parts of the driver use LBA. >The drive itself changes the mapping between the CHS register values >and the LBA address based on what it thinks it's geometry is. Unless >you know what it thinks it is, you can't second-guess it to get your >data where you think it's going. No, the driver decides the mapping. It can choose almost any mapping (except for pre-IDE drives which don't support setting the mapping and yet-to-be-made drives which don't support any mapping). It chooses the drive's default one for simplicity.

This is a well-known problem, and it involves a "broken" I/O controller on your notebook's motherboard. Some controllers are "broken" in that they do not probe correctly. This problem, by the way, also occurs on some motherboards, e.g. the IWill boards, that have similarly "broken" I/O controllers. For a fix, please see: http://www.lemis.com/serial-port-patch.html These contain a set of kernel patches for both 2.2.x and 3.0 systems (don't worry, they are extremely easy to apply). Simply patch and rebuild your kernel, and your ports should be A-OK. --- Donald Burr *NEW EMAIL ADDRESS!* | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ #1347455 | right to Address: P.O.
