Probing devices hangs (fwd) Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I am trying to install the stable snapshot from 10301999 on a compaq proliant 4500 with a smart array controller. I recompile the installation kernel and dropped it on the disk. The newly compile kernel has the ida driver included (as the drives are on that controller). It finds the controller and the logical drives, but when the installation program starts, it hangs at Probing for devices. The ida driver also reports "irq with no handler" when the kernel finds the device (prior to the probing screen). I've tried moving irq's around and removing some other cards but nothing. If I boot without the ida driver, it works ifne except that I don't have any drives to install on. If you need any more information please let me know. Thanks!

Adaptec aren't willing to share documentation on their RAID controllers with anyone (not that we haven't tried to convince them otherwise). I'm looking at writing an ICP Vortex driver at some point fairly shortly, once I've been able to get my hands on some hardware to work with. At this point in time, your best option is to use an external SCSI:SCSI RAID controller from eg. CMD or Mylex. Hopefully before 3.4 is out we will have support for the PCI:SCSI controllers from Mylex and AMI. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ 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 Nov 3 10:55:20 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from behemoth.redcart.com (behemoth.lehub.com [209.24.238.69]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1AE4514CE0; Wed, 3 Nov 1999 10:55:15 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from shibumi@redcart.com) Received: from miranda.redcart.com (www.marketinsights.com [209.24.238.77] (may be forged)) by behemoth.redcart.com (8.9.2/8.9.3) with ESMTP id KAA48056; Wed, 3 Nov 1999 10:54:30 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from shibumi@redcart.com) Received: from miranda.redcart.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by miranda.redcart.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id KAA04182; Wed, 3 Nov 1999 10:54:27 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from shibumi@redcart.com) Message-Id: <199911031854.KAA04182@miranda.redcart.com> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.1.0 04/14/1999 To: steve.gailey@db.com Cc: mobile@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: IBM Thinkpad 600 In-reply-to: Your message of "Mon, 01 Nov 1999 09:45:58 GMT." <199911010942.JAA09689@pow.srv.uk.deuba.com> Reply-To: shibumi@redcart.com X-Disclaimer: Unless otherwise noted below, this is not a policy statement X-Url: http://www.shockwave.org/~shibumi Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Wed, 03 Nov 1999 10:54:27 -0800 From: "Kenton A.

Strange. Don't know. You might try: - Check that you have all the IRQs and DMAs for your ISA cards allocated to ISA in your BIOS - Change which PCI slot the bt848 is in - Pull your other cards except for these two - For a test, do you have another video card to try with the bt848? - Do you have another machine connected to this one (via ethernet/slip/plip/etc.)? If so, build a kernel with bt848 support, boot into FreeBSD with the bt848, and check your /var/run/dmesg.boot for how its being detected - If not, you might try: build a kernel with bt848 support, install, make sure it works with your video card, reboot, power-off, snap the bt848 in, power on, boot into FreeBSD, let it get to the prompt, reboot, power-off, yank the bt848, power-on, and see what your /var/run/messages file has to say about the card and the driver's detection of it. These are _complete_ shots in the dark. In case you need some ideas. Hopefully though someone else will chime in and solve all your problems. ;-) FWIW, other folks on the multimedia list have had PCI bt848s working fine with AGP video cards for a year or so, so it's likely that this is related to your specific hardware or configuration.

I have two boxes over here with agp video cards and I don't have a problem with my bt848 cards -- I mean video capture from the bt848 cards works.

Does the PC appear to boot, (does the hard drive light come on) or is the machine dead. It could be a) your power supply cannot supply enough power for the extra pci card. b) a broken bt848 card. Can you check it in another machine?

Spec sheets on their site says it's capable of supporting a gig of RAM, but when I do so, the kernel can't boot up. It starts and reboots over and over. It has four slots and I'm using 256 meg chips. Dropping back to 768m works, but I'd really like to use the full gig capacity. Any ideas? Thanks _____________________________________________________________ Calvin M.

It's built with an Abit BX6, adaptec 2940uw, PIII 450, and 512mb ram running freebsd 3.1 stable. This machine is in a remote location, so I can't swap out components to find the problem easily. It seems to encounter scsi errors periodically (4-5 times a day) and reboot/crash. I was hoping by posting the error log, someone could give me thier best guess as to the problem.

I've heard ruminations before but nothing more. We should keep in mind that NTSC does not raster scan two interlaced fields of a "freeze frame" 30 times per second. Time goes on as the raster scans the first field, and then retraces to scan the second. The time difference between fields of course equals 1/60th of a second. TV has long persistence phosphors, so even during fast motion sequences, the differences in the fields isn't as apparent as it is on a computer monitor where both the phosphor persistence is shorter and the spatial resolution is a good bit higher. I think this may account for the difference we see. To demonstrate, zoom the TV (right click in fxtv), and freeze frame on a scene while a pure-color computer overlay sweeps across the display. There is significant difference between the fields of course. But (because they are pure colors), its very easy to see that switching the fields is not going to make any difference. The fields are just very different What would be interesting is to know whether the same is visible in the MS Windows apps. If not, wonder if the bt848 has some temporal filtering/interpolation feature which they have turned on and we don't.
