I tried the default install disks and thought I'd ask here before I start trial and error on the storage section of the bootup. The default probes did not see any hard drives at all. Just to be clear. The Fasttrak is an pci card that supports 2 ide channels. I have it set up to use a disk from each channel and mirror. 2 X 4 gig drives to give me 4 gig of mirrored drive. The company mentions in the doc's that some motherboards may see it as a scsi device. If it helps the fasttrak is version 1.06 (Build 2).

I guess (unless lightning strikes in the next few hours) I'll go ahead and set up as 2 IDE drives without mirror and see if I can get FreeBSD to see it. If that doesn't work then back to the motherboard IDE channels... BTW it might be software but it's bios level. Just after the motherboard bios access. Just like when you use scsi raid controllers. So if they get it right it should be able to emulate a "standard" IDE drive and not require drivers... I was hoping someone had a hack that could translate from what the card bios shows and allow me to go ahead and load FreeBSD.

As I said, the BIOS detects the drive and secondary channel just fine; it's only FreeBSD that can't see it. Thanks for the thoughts.

Which in turn means that the vendor cannot make random changes to the card without making sure you're aware of them. Also, I'm not aware of any PCI-SCSI RAID systems for which you can access the administrative tools from a free OS. For some such systems, the system can automatically utilize the hot spare - but if you then swap out the bad drive, it won't automatically make the replacement the hot spare without rebooting to Windows and running the funky little admin tool to tell it what to do. It would be interesting if someone would take a middle road between SCSI-SCSI and PCI-SCSI controllers: a PCI-SCSI controller with a serial port console. That would make it very easy for any OS with a driver to handle administration.

If you are lucky you are using simply two pipes for the communication, flow control being done through normal USB mechanisms. In that case, all you need is a driver that a la ezload (see ports) talk sto the generic driver and pushes the data out and reads data back in. The utilities to talk to the device are supposed to stay exactly the same? Are they setting flow control and things like that?

The BIOS detects a drive on the secondary, but > boot just says "Sorry." Output of dmesg follows I had a similar problem. The problem is caused by FreeBSD adhering strictly to the EIDE standard. Other operating systems, such as Linux and Windows 98, allow misconfigured hard drives to still operate. In my particular instance, I had removed an IDE CDROM from my secondary on-board IDE channel and replaced it with a SCSI Yamaha 4-4-16 CD-RW drive. The hard drive on that channel was a Western Digital Caviar 3.2gb EIDE hard drive. The WD was strapped as master. If you read the WD manual, though, it says that if it is the only device on the bus, that it must have NO straps -- i.e., be configured as neither master nor slave. Also note that if it is the only device on the bus, it must be on the last connector on the cable, else you can get some problems due to lack of termination. Removing the jumper on the WD made it accessible to FreeBSD, and all still runs well even unto today. Note that this is specific to particular brands of hard drive. For example, my 8.4gb IBM EIDE hard drive did not care when I removed the 1gb IDE hard drive that was secondary on that channel. And finally, the way I figured out what was happening was by going through wd.c and putting a LOT of debugging statements until I found the routine that was returning an error. If that error had been reported rather than just returned as an error constant, the problem and its solution would have been obvious. Unfortunately, wd.c does not properly report errors. Hopefully the re-written IDE driver for FreeBSD 4.0 will properly report errors, rather than always reporting a generic "could not detect" error. -- Eric Lee Green http://members.tripod.com/e_l_green mail: e_l_green@hotmail.com There Is No Conspiracy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Thu Sep 23 19:14:37 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mail.rdc1.az.home.com (ha1.rdc1.az.home.com [24.1.240.66]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C8D3B14E97 for ; Thu, 23 Sep 1999 19:14:35 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from elgreen@iname.com) Received: from ehome.local.net ([24.9.114.169]) by mail.rdc1.az.home.com (InterMail v4.01.01.00 201-229-111) with SMTP id <19990924021401.FCWM27294.mail.rdc1.az.home.com@ehome.local.net>; Thu, 23 Sep 1999 19:14:01 -0700 From: Eric Lee Green Organization: Myself @ Home To: Dann Lunsford , Lance Costanzo , hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Secondary IDE-PCI interface invisible Date: Thu, 23 Sep 1999 19:10:25 -0700 X-Mailer: KMail [version 1.0.21] Content-Type: text/plain References: <37E82A40.95DF5966@greycat.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <99092319133302.00682@ehome.local.net> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Tue, 21 Sep 1999, Dann Lunsford wrote: > Good idea.

The FreeBSD 3.x IDE driver has a bug in it where, if it cannot properly handshake with a drive connected to the controller (because it is not abiding strictly by the EIDE standard), it reports that it cannot detect the controller. I verified this during my own EIDE problem by putting debugging statements all over the place, starting with where the error message was printed and working backwards. What I found was that the controller was being detected just fine, but that the EIDE initialization routine was getting confused when it sent out an EIDE 'init' command and got back what it considered to be gibberish. -- Eric Lee Green http://members.tripod.com/e_l_green mail: e_l_green@hotmail.com There Is No Conspiracy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Thu Sep 23 21:19:29 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from vortex.greycat.com (vortex.greycat.com [207.173.133.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id EE76A14DC1 for ; Thu, 23 Sep 1999 21:19:24 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dann@greycat.com) Received: (qmail 21635 invoked from network); 24 Sep 1999 04:18:56 -0000 Received: from bigphred.greycat.com (HELO greycat.com) (207.173.133.2) by vortex.greycat.com with SMTP; 24 Sep 1999 04:18:56 -0000 Message-ID: <37EAFBB4.5D0B9C31@greycat.com> Date: Thu, 23 Sep 1999 21:19:00 -0700 From: Dann Lunsford Organization: You're kidding, right?

What's wierd is that enabling "options ATAPI" in the kernel also fixes (at least, for me) the problem. The way you went about it was what I was planning for this weekend; thanks for releasing the results of your labor, saved me a bunch of work. I owe you one. Sheesh. Will recompile without ATAPI and remove jumper, just to see. Guess I read a lot of code this weekend. Know any good refs on PCI? Thanks a *LOT*.

Maybe, but the driver has so many bugs detecting the slave that it's hard to tell. The most serious ones were for were for ATAPI slaves.

Apparently, whether the slave registers are visible when the master is selected depends on the jumper. I forget what the ATA standard specifies. Anyway, the problem was "fixed" in -current by making the code controlled by the ATAPI option non-optional.
