I have not used the Shuttle. But if you want a Micro-ITX system, I have just installed FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE on my new LEX LIGHT box (which is roughly the size of a hardback book!). FreeBSD autodetects all 3 network interfaces, USB, sound card etc. I have not bothered to test the sound or the X-Windows support, as this box will be my firewall. In the UK these boxes (and the Shuttles) are sold at http://www.ultim8pc.co.uk - I have no connection to them except as a happy customer. They also sell the VIA EPIA 5000 Mini-ITX motherboard, which fits into their nice black 2688 case - again very small, and it can run completely fanless (so it is *quiet*). I have one of those boxes too, and it can also run FreeBSD. By contrast the LEX Light has a CPU fan, although I'm not sure why since it uses the same CPU which is designed to be fanless. Some LEX customers have unplugged the fan, while others have rewired to reduce the fan voltage from 12V to 7V. Perhaps Lex will offer a bigger heatsink one day. The VIA EPIA 5000 may seem slow compared to a Pentium 4 or a fast Athlon, but it can still do a "make buildworld" in less than 2 hours. However, it really does not have enough CPU power to play DVDs smoothly. I'm not sure that really answers your question, but I just thought people might be interested in very small computers for FreeBSD! - Martin Johnson.

I had no luck with cups, not even the web interface wanted to open, nor the commands to answer . I suppose I'll have to study how this application works some day (the ghostscript Makefile warns: stp is outdated). yes I'm using ulpt0 - sorry if I don't catch the difference between I/O services! no, before installing the driver it was not possible to print anything! Anyway many thanks for your concern.

I can, I just bought one, and am sort of lurking here in order to find out how to get sound to work. :) In the meantime, I can state that I have had no problems with the NIC, rl(4) seems to support it just fine, and both the regular onboard ATA and the Promise controller seem to work just fine with a custom kernel -- IIRC, it may have even worked with GENERIC, but I only booted GENERIC during the install. 4.7-RELEASE install and 4.7-STABLE running currently. -- Greg White To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Mon Nov 18 15:29:37 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C00F237B401 for ; Mon, 18 Nov 2002 15:29:36 -0800 (PST) Received: from angryfist.fasttrackmonkey.com (angryfist.fasttrackmonkey.com [216.223.196.4]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5C89443E8A for ; Mon, 18 Nov 2002 15:29:35 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from spork@fasttrackmonkey.com) Received: (qmail 18378 invoked by uid 85); 18 Nov 2002 23:28:28 -0000 Received: from spork@fasttrackmonkey.com by angryfist.fasttrackmonkey.com by uid 1001 with qmail-scanner-1.10 (sophie: 2.9/3.56. .

On a number of boxes here (Intel, Tyan, Supermicro), there is an option to redirect the BIOS to a serial console. That works fine, but these all want a key pressed such as "F2" or "DEL" to enter the BIOS setup. Anyone else tackled this before? I see no way in either minicom or my console server software (conserver) to send these extended keys. Not freebsd specific, but I'm guessing there's some folks here that already have this going... Any ideas?

Is the BIOS wrong? I am already sysinstall is broken here (it is no different in -current). It doesn't like the number of cylinders being >= 65536, but this is no more of a problem than the number of cylinders being >= 1024 (an old limit due to older mistakes) provided the BIOS can handle it. sysinstall also doesn't like the number of heads being > 256 or the number of sectors being >= 64. BIOSes are very unlikely to handle these and manufacturers data is even less likely to say to use them. Even 256 heads is problematic (it should work, but there are many broken BIOSes that can't handle it). Sanitize_Bios_Geom() uses the correct limit of 255. When sysinstall doesn't like one of these parameters, it calls Sanitize_Bios_Geom() to modify the geometry to one that it likes, at least in -current. Unfortunately, it does this unconditionally. I think your geometry would just work otherwise. The modified geometry might work too, or it might be inconsistent with the BIOS (the geometry can be almost anything, but most firmware and software has to agree on what it is). There are 2 other limits which may cause related problems soon: the 28-bit LBA limit for old ATA disks (128GB or 137 disk manufacturers GB) and the limit of 65535*255*63 given by multiplying the BIOS limits (about 4 * 128GB). The sysinstall limit of 65535 or 65536 cylinders is related to the hardware limit of 6553[5-6] heads for old ATA. This limit is bogus even for old ATA in LBA mode and in some BIOS's virtual CHS modes, and just broken for current ATA. When disk sizes exceed 512MB (less epsilon), all disks will fail sysinstall's current sanity tests even after they have been sanitized.

I've come across a weird error. For the last couple weeks I've come across errors in my dmesg output saying the following psmintr: out of sync (0008 != 0000). psmintr: discard a byte (1). psmintr: out of sync (0008 != 0000). psmintr: discard a byte (2). I have a Microsoft Opitcal mouse plugged into my PS2 port. I looked around on google and all I found was a discussion where someone was plugged into a KVM switch, and this discussion was from back in Jan of 2001. And aside from a discussion on Security and KVM's not much amounted from this. Last night my PS2 port went on my machine none of the 10 PS2 mice I have around the house would work. **grumble** and I switched to USB after looking up various usb mouse tutorials I followed the directions and when I plug in the USB port I get lots of scrolling and highlighting on my screen, my mouse flies up into the upper corner of my screen and I see many of the psmintr messages. When I try to cat /dev/ums0 I get "device not configured" even after running './MAKEDEV ums0' Mouse works fine via PS2 without psmintr messages on other 4 machines around the house (3 BSD 4.7 and 1 win2k) Now my questions. 1) What is cause of the error messages 2) How, if at all can we fix this? I would like to keep my mobo, don't totally feel like going out to buy a new one, especially if I could get my mouse to work via USB. Hardware MSI 6330 Lite motherboard with Via chipset.

Somehow whatever values each source reported, (manufacturer's doc, bios, maxtor diag tools, and sysinstall), all of them ended up with the final size of (nearly) 120 GB. Well, actually sysinstall reports 117 GB. Can I assume they are all correct (in their own way)?

On that I received two different patches, which could solve the problem. I have attached them to this email: sis.diff from Luoqi Chen and if_sis.patch from Jeff Seeman. if_sis.patch didn't do the job. The message during boot didn't change and moreover I was not able to use the ethernet device. sis.diff did a better a job, but it solved the problem partly. Have a look to the output during boot: ... sis0: port 0xf800-0xf8ff mem 0xe8005000-0xe8005fff irq 5 at device 4.0 on pci0 sis0: Ethernet address: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff miibus0: on sis0 ukphy0: on miibus0 ukphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto pcic0: irq 11 at device 10.0 on pci0 pcic0: PCI Memory allocated: 0x88000000 ... Still the system is not able to retrieve the MAC address from the ethernetcard. Of course I could assign a MAC address manually and work around the problem (ifconfig sis0 lladdr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx), but still it would be nice to have a driver which does a proper job. Is a better patch available? -- Met vriendelijke groeten, With kind regards, Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Willy ************************************* W.K.

The hardware notes for CURRENT show the following: SiS 530, 540, 620 SiS 630, 633, 635, 645, 730, 733, 735, 740, 745, 750 SiS 5591 ATA100 ...so the controller is technically unsupported. The controller in question is integrated on an MSI motherboard, model MS-6533E. If you boot such a host with a 4.4R or 5.0-DP1 cdrom, it gets to the "Probing devices" splash screen and then hangs forever. With a 4.7R disc, you get to see the actual messages: ad0 READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting ata0: resetting devices .. However, it can be made to work. Disabling UltraDMA in the BIOS will allow one to use this controller, at least under 4.7-RELEASE. A bit suboptimal, but far better than nothing.

The storage solution you're searching depends on the jobs you want to do and the uptime you/your job needs. If you need really high performance, IDE is IMHO not recommented. If you need 24x7-operations and near to 0 downtimes, it's recommented to have a look to http://www.icp-vortex.com/. They build RAID-controller which supports 2 external disk array where one of them is mirrored to the other one and supports a take over when one machine fails. If you need high extensibilty, an external solution (eg. Fibra Channel) may be right. If your disk space requirements didn't change or you need not really much, a simple vinum-controlled RAID-1 or RAID-10 may help. A simple Ultra-SCSI controller may fit you requirements, but the disks are more expensive. ATA-RAID controller may fit, too - but I read sometimes 'bout not supporting FreeBSD or data loss and no support, ... My expirience with ICP-Vortex is very well. They answer all my stupid questions and help me (eg. I had deleted my RAID array when I was adding a new hot swap disk). The support FreeBSD (ok, others do, too) and regular update their bios for increasing performance. They also provide unix tools to monitor the disk/volume states. Hope this helps.

The only change that appeared to be on the 29th was the amr driver changes that Eric committed, and he suggested upgrading the firmware on my MegaRAID controller to 'correct' the issue. Last night, Rackspace performed that upgrade for us, and powered up using the same kernel (RELENG_4_7) we had installed ... it hung on reboot. They could boot off of the GENERIC kernel that I still had on that machine, but not the kernel that I had running several hours previous ... after playing with the kernel config for a period of time, I finally figured out that as long as I didn't enable SMP, the kernel would boot. Not good, but better then nothing ... Today, after getting some rest, I dove back into things again, finally thinking to setup /boot.config to enable -v on boot, figuring that was hte only way I was going to more detailed information ... After looking through /var/run/dmesg.boot after trying to boot an SMP kernel, I noticed that the kernel isn't detecting the second CPU in the machine: IOAPIC #0 intpin 2 -> irq 0 Programming 16 pins in IOAPIC #1 SMP: CPU0 apic_initialize(): lint0: 0x00000700 lint1: 0x00010400 TPR: 0x00000010 SVR: 0x000001ff FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor motherboard cpu0 (BSP): apic id: 0, version: 0x00040011, at 0xfee00000 io0 (APIC): apic id: 4, version: 0x000f0011, at 0xfec00000 io1 (APIC): apic id: 5, version: 0x000f0011, at 0xfec01000 bios32: Found BIOS32 Service Directory header at 0xc00fdb90 bios32: Entry = 0xfdba0 (c00fdba0) Rev = 0 Len = 1 pcibios: PCI BIOS entry at 0xdbc1 pnpbios: Found PnP BIOS data at 0xc00f4c50 pnpbios: Entry = f0000:3954 Rev = 1.0 Other BIOS signatures found: ACPI: 00000000 whereas my other server, same motherboard and BIOS level, shows: FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor motherboard cpu0 (BSP): apic id: 0, version: 0x00040011, at 0xfee00000 cpu1 (AP): apic id: 1, version: 0x00040011, at 0xfee00000 io0 (APIC): apic id: 4, version: 0x000f0011, at 0xfec00000 io1 (APIC): apic id: 5, version: 0x000f0011, at 0xfec01000 Now, I've had Rackspace check to make sure that the second CPU is, in fact, in the machine, and they went to the extent of swap out the CPUs and put new ones in ... the CPUs are detected by the BIOs itself, its only once it gets to the OS level that it seems to "lose" the second CPU ... The kernel config I'm trying to boot is quite basic, and included at the bottom of this ... What would cause a CPU to "disappear" as far as the operating system is concerned? And how could a firmware upgrade (and/or driver upgrade) cause this? This is a totally new one for me, and I haven't got a clue what direction to go at next ... ___machine i386 ___cpu I686_CPU ___ident kernel ___maxusers 0 ___makeoptions DEBUG=-g #Build kernel with gdb(1) debug symbols ___options INET #InterNETworking ___options FFS #Berkeley Fast Filesystem ___options FFS_ROOT #FFS usable as root device [keep this!] ___options SOFTUPDATES #Enable FFS soft updates support ___options UFS_DIRHASH #Improve performance on big directories ___options PROCFS #Process filesystem ___options COMPAT_43 #Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!] ___options SCSI_DELAY=15000 #Delay (in ms) before probing SCSI ___options KTRACE #ktrace(1) support ___options SYSVSHM ___options SHMMAXPGS=199608 ___options SHMMAX=(SHMMAXPGS*PAGE_SIZE+1) ___options SYSVSEM ___options SEMMNI=4096 ___options SEMMNS=8192 ___options SYSVMSG #SYSV-style message queues ___options IPFIREWALL #firewall ___options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD #enable transparent proxy support ___options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT #allow everything by default ___options P1003_1B #Posix P1003_1B real-time extensions ___options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING ___options ICMP_BANDLIM #Rate limit bad replies ___options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV # install a CDEV entry in /dev ___# To make an SMP kernel, the next two are needed ___options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel ___options APIC_IO # Symmetric (APIC) I/O ___device isa ___device pci ___device sym # NCR/Symbios Logic (newer chipsets) ___device scbus # SCSI bus (required) ___device da # Direct Access (disks) ___device sa # Sequential Access (tape etc) ___device pass # Passthrough device (direct SCSI access) ___device amr # AMI MegaRAID ___device atkbdc0 at isa? port IO_KBD ___device atkbd0 at atkbdc? irq 1 flags 0x1 ___device psm0 at atkbdc? irq 12 ___device vga0 at isa? ___pseudo-device splash ___device sc0 at isa? flags 0x100 ___device npx0 at nexus? port IO_NPX irq 13 ___device miibus # MII bus support ___device fxp # Intel EtherExpress PRO/100B (82557, 82558) ___pseudo-device loop # Network loopback ___pseudo-device ether # Ethernet support ___pseudo-device pty 256 # Pseudo-ttys (telnet etc) ___pseudo-device bpf #Berkeley packet filter ___options DDB ___options DDB_UNATTENDED ___options INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE # Include this file in kernel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
