I used a serial console I had laying around. At least when I put 4.4 on the system, TGA video cards were not supported. I put in an old non-TGA video card I had laying around, and that worked, too.

Well.. none of the pull's I've tried have had any problems. I may have an older stock than you do. I think that the SRM's x86 BIOS emulation code doesn't handle anything which requires better than a 286, so this might explain why fancy new cards don't work.

I'm sticking to the mandatory MFC waiting period before committing the files file changes though.. Interrupts are very expensive on alpha because of the interaction with palcode. People who are using alphas as routers should benefit greatly from polling. Here is a brief glimpse at the performance improvement polling gives you when blasting UDP packets at a 500MHz monet receiver, dc0 100Mb/full duplex: Without polling: % netperf -tUDP_STREAM -Hmonet -- -m 1 UDP UNIDIRECTIONAL SEND TEST to monet Socket Message Elapsed Messages Size Size Time Okay Errors Throughput bytes bytes secs # # 10^6bits/sec 9216 1 10.01 1181764 4041221 0.94 41600 10.01 534 0.00 The recv CPU is maxed out, and is machine unresponsive. Eg, without polling nearly all packets that we manage to receive are dropped on the floor due to livelock. This isn't just us sucking -- Tru64 5.1 on the same box behaves nearly identically. (well, it manages to get a whopping 120 more packets). With polling: % netperf -tUDP_STREAM -Hmonet -- -m 1 UDP UNIDIRECTIONAL SEND TEST to monet Socket Message Elapsed Messages Size Size Time Okay Errors Throughput bytes bytes secs # # 10^6bits/sec 9216 1 10.00 1180832 4052365 0.94 41600 10.00 1163905 0.93 The recv CPU is at 30% idle.

Natd hasn't changed much between 4.1 and 4.4, according to the CVS logs. I'd suggest upgrading to -stable, then building natd with symbols & seeing if you can get a stacktrace with gdb.

I'll sign up for whatever care and feeding might be required (if you say, panic the machine accidentally) if its used for development.. Best regards, and thanks for the great OS!

First up, make sure you have the latest SRM from ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/readmes/digitalpw.html You'll have a hard time finding a Dual-headed Matrox card for a PCI bus, I have a PWS 500au as well, and I have a Matrox Millenium II which works fine. Some people have reported success with the Voodoo3, Voodoo5 and ATI Radeon cards. These were under Linux, and I have no idea if FreeBSD should be any different.

You usually get a BREAK condition if the console server is turned off. Most developers have DDB with BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER compiled in and don't power off the console terminal. I wouldn't be surprised if noone ever tested your situation. > I tried to reanimate the console with an init q command but nothing gets > to the terminal. Anyone has this problem?

Of course, because most likely Compaq does not have schematics for the PSU. These things were normally buyout products designed to spec by a 3rd party. A lot of the newer PSU were not even repaired by our repair center but sent to the vendor for repair. But whatever: even if your CPQ rep had schematics giving them to you would be a quick way to resign from CPQ.. All is not so easy as it appears..

He's using an Alpha serial console with flags 0x30. I think that the Alpha serial console probe uses the PAL interface to the serial port to do its thing (please correct me, if I'm wrong), so even if FreeBSD's code doesn't have a problem with it, that doesn't mean that his SRM doesn't, or the FreeBSD/PAL probe/atach stuff doesn't. The real clue here would be a diff of the dmesg from boots with and without the terminal turned on, but since he's reporting problems with the terminal off at boot, but no problems with it on at boot, it's pretty indicative. Of course, the other option... leave the terminal on at boot... is alsways there... 8-). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-alpha Wed Feb 13 19:19:51 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-alpha@freebsd.org Received: from cicely5.cicely.de (pD9E20DA2.dip.t-dialin.net [217.226.13.162]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CA58737B400 for ; Wed, 13 Feb 2002 19:19:29 -0800 (PST) Received: from cicely5.cicely.de (localhost [IPv6:::1]) by cicely5.cicely.de (8.12.1/8.12.1) with ESMTP id g1E3JReS025083; Thu, 14 Feb 2002 04:19:27 +0100 (CET)?g (envelope-from ticso@cicely5.cicely.de)œ Received: (from root@localhost) by cicely5.cicely.de (8.12.1/8.12.1/Submit) id g1E3JN2o025082; Thu, 14 Feb 2002 04:19:23 +0100 (CET)?g (envelope-from ticso) Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2002 04:19:23 +0100 From: Bernd Walter To: Terry Lambert Cc: Bernd Walter , Normand Leclerc , freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Serial console drops dead Message-ID: <20020214031921.GA24983@cicely5.cicely.de> References: <000501c1b494$c9c22d30$038c898e@dactyl> <20020213150404.GK23566@cicely8.cicely.de> <3C6AFB0C.B364DC97@mindspring.com> <20020214005919.GA24409@cicely5.cicely.de> <3C6B1132.C0EAE93A@mindspring.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <3C6B1132.C0EAE93A@mindspring.com> User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.26i X-Operating-System: FreeBSD cicely5.cicely.de 5.0-CURRENT i386 Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Wed, Feb 13, 2002 at 05:21:54PM -0800, Terry Lambert wrote: > Bernd Walter wrote: > > On Wed, Feb 13, 2002 at 03:47:24PM -0800, Terry Lambert wrote: > > > On Wed, Feb 13, 2002 at 08:46:07AM -0500, Normand Leclerc wrote: > > > > I am having an annoying problem with my serial console.

It uses the PAL to know that the console is serial. The rest is mostly hardwired. The EB164 family uses 16550 at isa just like PCs. But he wrote about a problem after some days operating. He did not wrote about a problem with booting. If he had the situation would be clear - I don't have to tell you what a break condition means on a serial console? Unless he configured BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER FreeBSD should ignore, nevertheless it's the only reson I can imagine to cause these troubles. Unfotunately it's easy to irritate serial console service on some alphas. E.g. on PC164 you can't reboot from DDB. If you do FreeBSD will only write small blocks of data every second and only reads data if it wrote something. After init from SRM the magic returns to normal. The interrupt gets probed fine. I recently crashed a remote PC164 with such a broken console (unfortunately my MX box) and need to wait for local service :( It crashed right after I had found out that init is able to revive the console problem. > The real clue here would be a diff of the dmesg from > boots with and without the terminal turned on, but > since he's reporting problems with the terminal off at > boot, but no problems with it on at boot, it's pretty > indicative. > > Of course, the other option... leave the terminal on at > boot... is alsways there... 8-). It's most sensefull anyway. He has a computer doing that - I can't see a reason to use a computer for console serving and then turn it off. But that is a different issue. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-alpha Wed Feb 13 19:36:49 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-alpha@freebsd.org Received: from digger1.defence.gov.au (digger1.defence.gov.au [203.5.217.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CE4AA37B405 for ; Wed, 13 Feb 2002 19:36:46 -0800 (PST) Received: from dsto-ms2.dsto.defence.gov.au (dsto-ms2.dsto.defence.gov.au [131.185.2.150]) by digger1.defence.gov.au (8.10.1/8.10.1) with ESMTP id g1E3ZgF07052 for ; Thu, 14 Feb 2002 14:05:42 +1030 (CST) Received: from muttley.dsto.defence.gov.au (unverified) by dsto-ms2.dsto.defence.gov.au (Content Technologies SMTPRS 4.1.5) with ESMTP id ; Thu, 14 Feb 2002 14:06:36 +1030 Received: from salex001.dsto.defence.gov.au (salex001.dsto.defence.gov.au [131.185.2.9]) by muttley.dsto.defence.gov.au (8.9.3/8.9.3/8.9.3.LMD.990513) with ESMTP id NAA32743; Thu, 14 Feb 2002 13:58:42 +1030 (CST) Received: from pluto2.dsto.defence.gov.au (squirm.dsto.defence.gov.au [131.185.75.211]) by salex001.dsto.defence.gov.au with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service Version 5.5.2653.13) id 1H6HGCWP; Thu, 14 Feb 2002 13:58:40 +1030 Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2002 13:52:58 +1030 (CST) From: "Wilkinson,Alex" X-X-Sender: wilkinsa@squirm.dsto.defence.gov.au Reply-To: Alex.Wilkinson@dsto.defence.gov.au To: Terry Lambert Cc: Bernd Walter , Bernd Walter , Normand Leclerc , Subject: Re: Serial console drops dead In-Reply-To: <3C6B1132.C0EAE93A@mindspring.com> Message-ID: <20020214135152.E21204-100000@squirm.dsto.defence.gov.au> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org tlambe:>>doesn't have a problem with it, that doesn't mean that tlambe:>>his SRM doesn't, or the FreeBSD/PAL probe/atach stuff tlambe:>>doesn't.

My terminal is either on or off when booting... I get the console even if I turn the terminal on and off for a few days. The kernel is compiled without any DDB directives as I don't qualify as a kernel"able" coder (or hacker as you please). BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER is not in my config. > He has a computer doing that - I can't see a reason to use a > computer for console serving and then turn it off. > But that is a different issue. That reason is very simple: I'm using my personal PC as the console. I am in a home environment where my Alpha is a file server that does backups of my daily work. The server is in a small room where I don't have space for a monitor and I don't have space anywhere else for a terminal either. As this computer is usually quite stable, I don't really care about having a permanent console but when problems occur, I need it. I just thought of something, are the timer interrupts used for anything in FreeBSD (poling for example). I am more familiar with x86 PCs than Alphas so I really don't know if this can affect any other part of the system... SRM is telling me that there is no timer interrupt on CPU 0. Systems works fine tough.

I suspect that your problem might be a hardware problem -- the alpha might be a bit noisier in terms of EMI than a PC. Have you verified that it it works with another OS?

You can get the kernel from: http://people.freebsd.org/~gallatin/kerneltga.gz Note that its a full kernel, not a bootmfs kernel, so it won't fit on a floppy.

I am contacting you with the hope that you will be of great assistance to me, I currently have within my reach the sum of 76MILLION U.S dollars cash which l intend to use for investment purposes outside Nigeria. This money came as a result of a payback contract deal between my husband and a Russian firm in our country's multi-billion dollar Ajaokuta steel plant. The Russian partners returned my husband's share being the above sum after his death. Presently, the new civilian Government has intensified their probe into my husband's financial resources, which has led to the freezing of all our accounts, local and foreign, the revoking of all our business licenses and the arrest of my First son. In view of this I acted very fast to withdraw this money from one of our finance houses before it was closed down. I have deposited the money in a security vault for safe keeping with the help of very loyal officials of my late husband. No record is known about this fund by the government because there is no documentation showing that we received such funds. Due to the current situation in the country and government attitude to my financial affairs, I cannot make use of this money within. Bearing in mind that you may assist me, 20% of the total amount will be paid to you for your assistance, while 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred by the parties involved and this will be paid before sharing. Half of my75% will be paid in to my account on your instruction once the money hits your account, while the other half will be invested by your humble self in any viable business venture you deem fit, with you as manager of the invested funds. Remunerations, during the investment period will be on a 50/50 basis. Your URGENT response is needed. All correspondence must be through my lawyer,fax:234-1-4709814. Attentioned to my attorney (HAMZA IBU). Please do not forget to include your direct tel/fax line for easy reach. I hope I can trust you with my family's last financial hope.Regards Dr. Mrs. Marian Sani Abacha.

Can someone tell me why FreeBSD will not boot? It recognizes block 0 of dka0.0.0.9.0 as a valid boot block. Please help. thanks, -Alan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
