I have encountered the following error whi= le trying to boot either 4.9-RELEASE or 5.2-RELEASE: ata2: at 0x1f0 on atapci0 ata2: unable to allocate interrupt I am using the onboard IDE built into the chipset. Other OS's are able to successfully use the device and detect the single hard drive on it. Since= the drive only supports up to PIO mode 3, I am setting hw.ata.ata_dma=3D0 in = the loader. Setting hw.ata.wc=3D0 makes no difference. The system is bare-bones: only a PCI VGA card (Trio64V+ 4 MB) is installe= d, otherwise the only other peripherals are the ps/2 keyboard and the built-= in COM1, COM2 and parallel port. The drive is an old WD caviar 1.08 gb. Any ideas? This one's a strange one. This little system would make a nice router/server once I get a couple NICs installed... but first I need to s= ee the drive!

During the boot process I hit CTRL-M to enter the RAID configuration menu and set up my two drives as mirrored, and I initialized the RAID. When I boot off the FreeBSD install CD, it finds both my hard drives, individually. I am able to install to the drives, but they do not appear to be detected, or treated, as a RAID. Is the LSI MegaRaid ATA 133-2 a hardware raid controller, or is it all in the included drivers and the BIOS util is only for saving a config to the drives? (Did I just over-pay for a IDE controller?) Is there anyway to get FreeBSD to recognize the LSI MegaRaid ATA 133-2 as a RAID controller? Preferrably as a boot device? Any assistance appreciated. -Chris From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Jan 27 04:18:28 2004 Return-Path: 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 38EBB16A4CE; Tue, 27 Jan 2004 04:18:28 -0800 (PST) Received: from smtp.des.no (flood.des.no [217.116.83.31]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8301643D45; Tue, 27 Jan 2004 04:18:24 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from des@des.no) Received: by smtp.des.no (Pony Express, from userid 666) id F0C02530C; Tue, 27 Jan 2004 13:18:22 +0100 (CET) Received: from dwp.des.no (des.no [80.203.228.37]) by smtp.des.no (Pony Express) with ESMTP id 87EBE5308; Tue, 27 Jan 2004 13:18:13 +0100 (CET) Received: by dwp.des.no (Postfix, from userid 2602) id 0858633C6A; Tue, 27 Jan 2004 13:18:13 +0100 (CET) To: Doug White References: <20040125012602.XMOS163351.fep03-mail.bloor.is.net.cable.rogers.com@win2000> <20040125121101.Y81485@carver.gumbysoft.com> From: des@des.no (Dag-Erling =?iso-8859-1?q?Sm=F8rgrav?=) Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2004 13:18:12 +0100 In-Reply-To: <20040125121101.Y81485@carver.gumbysoft.com> (Doug White's message of "Sun, 25 Jan 2004 12:11:59 -0800 (PST)") Message-ID: User-Agent: Gnus/5.090024 (Oort Gnus v0.24) Emacs/21.3 (berkeley-unix) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.61 (1.212.2.1-2003-12-09-exp) on flood.des.no X-Spam-Level: ss X-Spam-Status: No, hits=2.6 required=5.0 tests=RCVD_IN_DYNABLOCK, RCVD_IN_SORBS autolearn=no version=2.61 cc: current@freebsd.org cc: Sten Spans cc: hardware@freebsd.org cc: Mike Jakubik Subject: Re: LSI MegaRAID SCSI 320-0 support X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2004 12:18:28 -0000 Doug White writes: > Well thats curious.

The latter, most likely.

Since you just want mirrored drives, you don't even need the RAID BIOS to boot, so: yes, you were conned. Provided you leave a little space at the end of the disk, you can set up mirrorring after you're done installing (off the top of my head and totally untested: 'atacontrol create RAID1 ad0' to create a single-disk mirrored volume followed by 'atacontrol addspare ar0 ad2' to add the second disk; you may need to 'atacontrol rebuild' to initialize the second disk; and sos@ will probably kill me for getting the instructions all wrong) > Is there anyway to get FreeBSD to recognize the LSI MegaRaid ATA > 133-2 as a RAID controller? Preferrably as a boot device? Only if its on-disk layout is compatible with the Promise or Highpoint layout.

As a test last night, I re-initialized the raid, and I booted off of a DOS boot disk. Fdisk saw only one drive. I created a small partition, formatted it, and booted off of it. I then booted the FreeBSD 4.9 install CD. FreeBSD again saw the system as two distinct drives, but they had exactly the same partition system. It appears that the LSI MegaRaid ATA 133-2 works as a RAID controller under DOS, and that FreeBSD bypasses the RAID component and talks to the drives directly.

However I own an internal DSL modem from AVM, called "Fritz DSL SL". There seem to be no drivers for this device, although the command "apropos fritz" revealed many drivers for Fritz ISDN. On the AVM homepage there is a driver for linux available called "capi4linux", with sources. Would there be a possibility to use this driver with FreeBSD? Thanks in advance for your time.

What performance and what Intel chipset implied here? Providing helpful information should be positive. Unclear information with bias does not help. Intel 875 chipset (P4) may provide 2-time memory bandwidth than Nvidia (AMD). However, spending the same amount $ on both motherboards and CPUs, this AMD system may produce twice computation power than this Intel system. This is an important fact if $ is an issue. Intel has tried to release new BIOS every other week or a month to fix 875 chipset booting problem (rev 005 to 015) because different I/O peripheral combination can cause its BIOS hang (not funny, I never see such serious problem on system design). For example, swap CDrom and IDE drive, or add some I/O controller, or use different video card, etc., all can cause system be unable to start from BIOS. We bought a 875 system, but could not use it for almost 6 months till its BIOS rev 015 was out. What a horrible story. We did benchmark for some good motherboards.

It must have a fast processor / memory bus, and possibly an integrated dual gigabit copper NIC attached to PCI-X bus (plain PCI is not an option). SCSI / RAID stuff is not necessary - IDE will do fine. It seems that both IBM xSeries 305 and Dell PowerEdge 650 might fit... Does anyone have experiences with running FreeBSD on those machines?

Signal 11 is Segmentation Fault. This happens when programs try to write to or read from memory they're not allowed to read. (This is quite common if the program attempts to dereference unitialized pointers, or in case of buffer overflow. The most common source of this problem is quite simply a bug in the software in question. But if this is happening on many programs in general, it could be a sign of hardware error, quite probably memory error. Signal 10 is Bus Error. This is much more rare, but still plausibly could be caused by incorrectly written software. (I think I've seen Netscape 4 crash with this message once or twice -- but it's rare.) Below is the definition from FOLDOC: bus error A fatal failure in the execution of a machine language instruction resulting from the processor detecting an anomalous condition on its bus. Such conditions include invalid address alignment (accessing a multi-byte number at an odd address), accessing a physical address that does not correspond to any device, or some other device-specific hardware error. A bus error triggers a processor-level exception which Unix translates into a "SIGBUS" signal which, if not caught, will terminate the current process. This can quite plausibly be caused by hardware error, or memory problems in particular. But note that random Signal 11's are a symptom of a problem, and their appearance alone isn't enough to make a diagnosis. I suggest you download the excellent utility MemTest86 (www.memtest86.com) for more information on possible memory problems. If you're too lazy or too poor to have the memory replaced (either under warranty or out of pocket), and the system is not particularilly mission critical, there is a kernel patch for Linux called BadRAM or something along those lines, which allows you to simply not use the parts of the memory which are bad. There are no comparable patches for FreeBSD as far as I am aware. If I had to put my money on what the problem with your setup was, I'd most likely bet it was the memory -- but don't take my word for it -- use memtest86!

The pthreads implementation on 4.x (-lc_r) will also provoke a bus error if the primary thread's stack (which is hard coded at 1MB) is exhausted. -lc_r linked pthreads programs on 5.x will also behave this way, but I don't know whether -lkse has the same limitation. This has become more prevalent with the more profligate stack use by recent gcc releases. -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."

FYI, the ltmdm driver did not detect the HCF (and after further reading, I realized the controllerless family means specifically Winmodem-- doh! I feel dumb). So I went out and bought a Lucent v.90 with the LT Mars (PCI) chipset. I am one step closer however the probe doesn't seem to detect the device and there aren't the appropriate /dev/ entries. I am using a custom 5.1-RELEASE kernel, with the sio device enabled. Do I need anything else enabled? I've tried with and without puc. Here is the relevant lines from "pciconf -lv": none9@pci1:7:0: class=0x078000 card=0x044c11c1 chip=0x048c11c1 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Lucent/Agere Systems (Was: AT&T MicroElectronics)' class = simple comms According to the README and some minor digging through the source code, both the chip and the card should be recognized, so I feel like I'm doing something incorrectly. An output of "pciconf -r pci1:7:0 0:0xff" gives: 048c11c1 02900007 07800002 00002000 e2001000 00008001 00008401 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000040 044c11c1 00000000 000000f8 00000000 0efc010c ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff 00000000 64220001 00000000 the rest are all 0xff.. I have the ltmdm-1.4_5 package installed, and it built without a problem. Whenever I do a kldunload followed by a kldload, I get the following in my dmesg: Jan 29 14:18:49 kayla kernel: ichsmb0: port 0xe000-0xe01f at device 1.1 on pci0 Jan 29 14:18:49 kayla kernel: ichsmb0: can't map I/O Jan 29 14:18:49 kayla kernel: device_probe_and_attach: ichsmb0 attach returned 6 Jan 29 14:18:49 kayla kernel: nvidia1: Unknown nVIDIA device found-- skipping (R CP) The first three lines go away when I remove ichsmb & smbus from my kernel config, and the last line is a patch I needed to make to the x11/nvidia-driver port to prevent the nvidia device from trying to attach all my nForce2 devices as video cards (I have an Asus A7N8X motherboard). In other words, ltmdm doesn't output any messages nor create any device entries.. I know many people have ltmdm working, so what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance, -- Rick C.

I've also seen a bus error when one replaces the binary of a running program and it eventually pages in a page that doesn't match what's running; things that were previously aligned aren't any more, or a jump from the old code goes to the middle of an instruction in the new code. This is one of the reasons attempting to open() a running program's executable file for write returns ETXTBUSY.

It's a 4.9-Release box. Python version & gcc version? Using regexps? Some special handling for pthreads linkage on FreeBSD was added to Python 2.3.3 (maybe 2.3.2 as well) to limit the recursiion depth of the SRE regexp engine due to this problem. If this is the problem, the limit was determined based on the behaviour of Python's regression test suite, but your app's stack usage may be more stack hungry than the test suite resulting in the sig10s. Recent releases of gcc at higher optimisation levels (eg -O3) use considerably larger stack frames than 2.95, which makes the -lc_r limit more restrictive. I've just recently started to see similar reports from people in the Python Linux community. This doesn't affect Python from CVS, as SRE is no longer a recursive engine. If you wish to rebuild Python with a smaller SRE recursion limit, adjust the USE_RECURSION_LIMIT macro at the top of Modules/_sre.c in the Python source tree (somewhere around line 80, depending on Python version). -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."

I gonna replace my CD-ROM with a CD-RW drive. I use FreeBSD 4.9 system, Acorp 694XA (VIA VT82C694X, VIA VT82C686B) motherboard. It provides PIO, Bus Master, UDMA 33/66/100 modes on both ata0 and ata1. Please give me a suggestion what brand or model to buy. What CD-RW can be used under FreeBSD without problems? I use nVidia video card and really can't get it work properly 'cause of broken drivers from nvidia.com I think. So I want to be sure. And another little question. What is better to have both CD-RW and HDD on one ata0 (master and slave) or HDD on ata0 and CD-RW on ata1? What gives best performance? I think that best one is when they are on different, bacause it become possible to only read via one and only write via other while copying data. Is it that way? Thank you. Best regards. Yuri.

I spent so much time trying to make nVidia Riva TNT2 M64 running on FreeBSD4.9 and I think one of us must die! I downloaded NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-4365.tar.gz from www.nvidia.com (it's identical to one from ports' /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver). That's no matter I instal from ports or just by 'make setup' I get the same problem. I have a configured kernel as it was described in nVidia docs (e.g. with USER_LDT) and configured XF86Config accordingly to nvidia driver. I have made big amount of installations (tryed between FreeBSD AGPGART and nVidia AGP, etc.) but whatever I do I get this story: I reboot after installation; login; issue 'startx'. Here I see as it starts Ok (it fills about a half of screen with messages, ends at 'Using config file...'). Usually (with VESA driver) at this point screen flashes to black and then to my desktop (I use KDE). But with nVidia driver I still see these textmode messages for awhile, after that machine reboots! (Without any syncing to disks or shutdown process). I mean it hangs up and nothing of keyboard or hdd or else is active before this dirty reboot. Thanks to God that I configured X back to VESA, but GLX became unusable. So I need help with configuration of nVidia acceleration. I need it for I had some OpenGL programming experience under RH Linux that could be ported to FreeBSD with success. Configurations and logs attached. Thankyou!

Most IDE controllers do not provide two separated IDE channels. They only have one internal IDE channel to fan out four connectors. Testing shows that two IDE drives on two buses can affect each other. So, it does not really matter where you connect to. In this case, using two buses may reduce the secondary bus arbitration, and gives a little bit better throughput. A few IDE controllers are real two channels, for example AMD MPX chipset. Some one told that nVidia PCI chipset is similar to MPX. Under this circumstance, using two buses will make difference on performance. -Jin From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Feb 1 11:21:37 2004 Return-Path: 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 F377516A4CE; Sun, 1 Feb 2004 11:21:36 -0800 (PST) Received: from 194-185-53-242.f5.ngi.it (194-185-53-242.f5.ngi.it [194.185.53.242]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 66FD943D31; Sun, 1 Feb 2004 11:21:34 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from mark@remotelab.org) Received: from einstein.lab (einstein.lab [192.168.168.2]) i11JLW0K054588; Sun, 1 Feb 2004 20:21:32 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from mark@remotelab.org) Received: from einstein.lab (localhost.lab [127.0.0.1]) by einstein.lab (8.12.10/8.12.10) with ESMTP id i11JLIR5044685; Sun, 1 Feb 2004 20:21:18 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from mark@einstein.lab) Received: (from mark@localhost) by einstein.lab (8.12.10/8.12.10/Submit) id i11JLIRL044684; Sun, 1 Feb 2004 20:21:18 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from mark) Date: Sun, 1 Feb 2004 20:21:18 +0100 From: Marco Trentini To: Yuri Grebenkin Message-ID: <20040201192118.GF614@einstein.lab> References: <20040201162804.GB614@einstein.lab> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.1i cc: freebsd-x11@freebsd.org cc: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org cc: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: nVidia Riva TNT2 M64 problem on FreeBSD4.9 X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 01 Feb 2004 19:21:37 -0000 On Sun, Feb 01, 2004 at 08:45:45PM +0300, Yuri Grebenkin wrote: > On Sun, 1 Feb 2004 17:28:04 +0100, Marco Trentini > wrote: > > > > > >I don't see any attachments, anyway this could be a > >SGRAM/SDRAM TNT cards problem. > > > >Try (before run X) > > > >sysctl hw.nvidia.registry.VideoMemoryTypeOverride=SDRAM or > >SGRAM (according to your card memory type) > > > > I've attached again - configs_logs.tgz > > And here I try sysctl: > > Script started on Sun Feb 1 20:30:39 2004 > > # sysctl -a -o | grep nvidia > > hw.nvidia.agp.card.rates: 4x 2x 1x > hw.nvidia.agp.card.fw: not supported > hw.nvidia.agp.card.sba: not supported > hw.nvidia.agp.card.registers: 0x1f000007:0x00000000 > hw.nvidia.agp.status.status: disabled > hw.nvidia.agp.status.driver: n/a > hw.nvidia.agp.status.rate: n/a > hw.nvidia.agp.status.fw: n/a > hw.nvidia.agp.status.sba: n/a > hw.nvidia.version: NVIDIA FreeBSD x86 nvidia.ko Kernel Module 1.0-4365 > Wed May 28 09:20:25 PDT 2003 > hw.nvidia.registry.EnableVia4x: 0 > hw.nvidia.registry.EnableALiAGP: 0 > hw.nvidia.registry.EnableAGPSBA: 0 > hw.nvidia.registry.EnableAGPFW: 0 > hw.nvidia.registry.SoftEDIDs: 1 > hw.nvidia.registry.Mobile: 4294967295 > hw.nvidia.registry.ResmanDebugLevel: 4294967295 > hw.nvidia.registry.FlatPanelMode: 0 > hw.nvidia.registry.UpdateKernelAGP: 1 > hw.nvidia.cards.0.model: RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro > hw.nvidia.cards.0.irq: 11 > hw.nvidia.cards.0.vbios: ??.??.??.??.?? > hw.nvidia.cards.0.type: AGP > > # sysctl hw.nvidia.registry.VideoMemoryTypeOverride=SDRAM > > sysctl: unknown oid 'hw.nvidia.registry.VideoMemoryTypeOverride' > It's stange ...

Where before there was little to no code for the network and audio driver there now appears to be full source files for linux up there. There is also a gart driver which I hope should get me hardware 3d acceleration on my nforce board. So please have a look if you have an interest in nvidia hardware.

I've already tryed BusID - the same as ever. In README.Linux I found next interesting things: (1) HARDWARE ISSUES This section describes problems that will not be fixed. Usually, the source of the problem is beyond the control of NVIDIA. Following is the list of problems: ....... o VIA KX133 and 694X Chip sets with AGP 2x On Athlon motherboards with the VIA KX133 or 694X chip set, such as the ASUS K7V motherboard, NVIDIA drivers default to AGP 2x mode to work around insufficient drive strength on one of the signals. ........ But I used my card (on motherboard Acorp 694XA with VIA chipset) on Windows with AGP 4x normally. (2) APPENDIX H: TNT SPECIFIC ISSUES Most issues pertaining to SGRAM/SDRAM TNT cards should be resolved. There is the rare chance, however, that your video card has the wrong BIOS installed, and that this driver will continue to fail for you. If this driver fails for you, do the following: o watch your monitor as the system boots. The very first, brief screen will identify the type of video memory your card has. This will be either SGRAM or SDRAM. o edit the file "os-registry.c" from the kernel module sources. Look for the variable "NVreg_VideoMemoryTypeOverride". Set the value of the variable to the type of memory you have (numerically, see the line just above it). o since we don't normally use this variable, change the "#if 0" that is about 10 lines above the variable to "#if 1". o rebuild and reinstall the new driver ("make") About rare chance - I used this card on RH Linux with this sort of drivers and it worked. What they mean by this rare chance? Who that people that install the wrong BIOS? And who is responsible for it? It can be treated by me like a product malfunction... At first when computer reboots I see only 16.0M RAM without any mention of SDRAM or SGRAM. At second I have no os-registry.c on my computer (probably it should be only in linux distro of drivers). I issued grep and found that variable is in nvidia_os_registry.c. I opened it and saw that there is no #if directive at all. After some time I guesed that activation of variables was in tail of the file and in a vary different way than described in docs (by setting '1' in structure). Strange... I compiled with SGRAM (value 2) and was trashed to hang up and reboot as ever. But when I restored my machine I noticed that now the key hw.nvidia.registry.VideoMemoryTypeOverride exist!!! I set it to SDRAM and was punished by rebooting. Maybe I go crazy? And could anyone receive my attachments, is it possible or I'm in trouble? Hell... |:-) Yuri (CC to my email) ------------aPGJUPQtIPwdEF0LyDOXqX-- From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Feb 2 07:25:54 2004 Return-Path: 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 1240B16A4CE for ; Mon, 2 Feb 2004 07:25:54 -0800 (PST) Received: from osiris.ipform.ru (ipform.netway.ru [212.248.52.90]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5AD0643D39 for ; Mon, 2 Feb 2004 07:25:50 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from matrix@itlegion.ru) Received: from artem (artem.office.ipform.ru [192.168.0.12]) by osiris.ipform.ru (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id i0TC9Zvd013244 for ; Thu, 29 Jan 2004 15:09:36 +0300 (MSK) (envelope-from matrix@itlegion.ru) X-AntiVirus: Checked by Dr.Web (http://www.drweb.net) Message-ID: <002401c3e661$32b27c00$0c00a8c0@artem> From: "Artem Koutchine" To: Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2004 15:12:39 +0300 Organization: IT Legion MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="koi8-r" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1106 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1106 X-Mailman-Approved-At: Tue, 03 Feb 2004 05:33:35 -0800 Subject: SATA RAID 5 controller for FreeBSD X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 02 Feb 2004 15:25:54 -0000 Hi! I am looking for supported RAID 5 controller for FreeBSD and I am very puzzled after reading all the specs and descrioptions. I haven't found any SATA RAID 5 controller in the FreeBSD supported Hardware list, but some manufacturer claim they support FreeBSD. SO far i have found 1) Promise FastTrak SX4 (around 200$) 2) HighPoint RocketRaid 1640 (aorund 150$ hard to find) 3) EscaladeR 8506 4-port one (around 500$) HightPoint and Escalade AFAIK are well supported by FreeBSD. FreeBSD 4.8 support is promised in Promise :) FastTrak. Here is the dilema: As i have read SX4 is not a hardware raid, it uses server's CPU to do XOR calculations. Which is not good, because it means if CPU is loaded RAID permonace will degrade. But SX4 has HUGE cache memory (up to 256MB SDRAM) and FRAM for internal queue storage. I could not find out if RocketRaid is a true hardware RAID 5 or partly software. Also, no infromation on the size of a cache on 1640. Review state that RAID 5 perfomance is not very good. However, I currently use just one huge SCSI disk with 4MB cache. Will i gain in speed with RAID 5 or loose? (it is a web server, many small file reads). Af for Escalde 6506 i again did not find any info on Cache size. However, the specs clearly state that it is a hardware raid5. But if does not have any significats amount of cache and IF rocketraid is too hardware raid 5 then why the heck escalade is so much more espansive? Please, help me to decide which to pick and maybe someone has info on cache size and ability to do hardware XOR for RAID5 for each controller? Regards, Artem Kuchin General Director of IT Legion Ltd.

I have an x335 here, which apart from the keyboard not working due to ACPI wierdness, functions properly otherwise. Works as expected with ACPI disabled.

I looked at the DSDT briefly and think there was a potential ordering issue between the floppy disk drive and the keyboard resources ... the init method for the floppy twiddles an enable bit the other ISA/LPC devices all look at when building _CRS.

I have a closed source driver that might work, and someday hope to have time to write an open source one. Not that I'm advocating a different OS, but the Compaq driver on Linux should either work out of the box with this card or might need a couple of minor modifications to work.

I think this would be heavily dependent on the type of drives that are installed, and which controller they are connected to? Are you using a RAID controller? > c.

I understand that Intel has been making incremental improvements to Hyperthreading. In early hyperthreading, enabling it could incur significant processor latency.

This card as a dedicated Intel 80303 CPU for doing the XOR calcs. -Sam Clements From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Feb 3 13:06:45 2004 Return-Path: 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 D975B16A4CF for ; Tue, 3 Feb 2004 13:06:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from web14911.mail.yahoo.com (web14911.mail.yahoo.com [216.136.225.249]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 573FA43D54 for ; Tue, 3 Feb 2004 13:06:44 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jlpvideo@yahoo.com) Message-ID: <20040203210643.17071.qmail@web14911.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [24.229.116.215] by web14911.mail.yahoo.com via HTTP; Tue, 03 Feb 2004 13:06:43 PST Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2004 13:06:43 -0800 (PST) From: Joe Peifer To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Subject: Seeking rock-solid motherboard recommendations X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2004 21:06:46 -0000 Pardon the newbeee question...

The current mobo in server is a Gigabyte and I've never had any problems with it and am looking at picking up several dual proc Gigabyte boards currently. Basically just look at if the hardware on it is listed as working with what ever version you are using and you should be fine. http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.2R/hardware.html http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.9R/relnotes.html On UNIX like systems, the graphics are not handled by the OS, but by a X server.

Cool! As I understand it, yes. Not being a guru about this kind of stuff, I don't know the in's and out's of doing this, but this was one of the big deals about the Intel RAID controllers - they all used the same drivers and firmware (being based on the ICP Vortex design and software, you'd expect that!). You could swap controllers and models of controllers (even in Windows 2000!) and the machines would just work. The latest Intel RAID controller (U42X) breaks this model and I don't believe it is yet supported in FreeBSD. Something about a new RAID architecture on this and 'all future controllers'. For now though, the S14L should be a good-to-go hardware RAID controller for FreeBSD.

ECS is definitely a budget brand, not a lot of features, but the board has been working great with my AXP 2400+, dc NIC, and 3ware RAID controller. It is a KT400 chipset board and the onboard LAN is supported (vr). Onboard sound seems to work, though the volume level is very low -- still trying to work this out.

We have just added a new Server that uses AMD Opteron in a 2U form factor. Soon to come is a very inexpensive 1U Pentium4 based Server with a very small footprint. A 1U Opteron based Server should be on our site in the next 6-10 days. Cheers, Lanny On Wed, 2004-02-04 at 15:17, Matt Staroscik wrote: > For my new server, I got the ECS L7VTA.

But I couldn't find a definitive answer to my question. I'm looking to find out if anyone has much experience with running 4.9 and SATA RAID, and if so what specific cards/chipsets/etc worked well. In particular, I'd like to know if anyone has tried hardware that supports RAID 0+1, or just plain RAID 0 and how well it performed in 4.9 if at all. I'm not interested in 5-RELEASE, as this will be a production machine. Most of the info I've seen so far was either too vague for my liking, or was talking about SATA in relation to 5.x.

However, FreeBSD doesn't seem to recognize it. It is recognized only by the "generic" USB driver, which reports that it's an "Askey Computers" device number 0x123. The adapter has the Atmel USB-to-wireless chipset -- a fairly common one -- in it, which essentially means that it's a Prism chip with some special glue.

Under a GENERIC 5.1-RELEASE kernel, the modem is detected: sio0: <3COM PCI FaxModem> port 0xb800-0xb807 irq 5 at device 7.0 on pci1 sio0: moving to sio4 sio4: type 16550A However, attempting ppp(8) or cu(1) causes a partial freeze-- it lets me swap virtual consoles but I can't type anything except on /dev/ttyv0 (which I have turned off) nor does the network stack respond to anything beyond a ping(8). Some googling suggested that this was a shared IRQ problem. I tried using various combinations of the sio(4) flags, and eventually I arrived at 0x6 (disable FIFO, no AST/4-compatible IRQ control register) and at boot, the sio4 link changed to: sio4: type 16550A fifo disabled lookalike with 1 bytes FIFO and I was able to send one byte before it froze. I am unsure how to make the kernel reassign the IRQ for this card, if it even is an IRQ problem, because it's a PCI card and it's sharing with all the other PCI devices. BTW, adding the following to /boot/device.hints: hint.sio.4.flags="6" didn't work, I actually had to nstead assign it to sio0 before it would recognize the flags option... the problem is that I cannot totally disable the sio0 device because I need it for the touchscreen in X, and I can't figure out how to trick sio(4) to use the flags for sio4 only! Any suggestions on how to get this modem to work and/or to remap the IRQ or anything of the sort? FYI, I had difficulty getting the same hardware to work in windoze-- after manually installing the .INI the modem wouldn't query until I disabled the use of FIFO buffers, suggesting this modem doesn't have a 16550-compatible UART. There's a linux "driver" which is just a binary to configure the serial port, but I couldn't get it to run because it requires /compat/linux/proc/bus/pci/devices which linprocfs(5) doesn't support.. -- Rick C.

Its officially supported now as well, however support prior to that through the drivers natively present has been most excellent. My news server has a series of RAID0 drives, my main mail spool on RAID10. My offsite backup server is .75TB box on RAID 5. In fact, today we pulled a dead drive from that box (dead as in knocking dead) and added a new one and all was well. We are just starting to use the SATA versions of the cards. Its the same interface so it was really easy to integrate into our mix and uses the same stable drivers in STABLE. ---Mike On Wed, 4 Feb 2004 16:24:39 -0800 (PST), in sentex.lists.freebsd.hardware you wrote: > >I spent some time sifting through the mailing lists for information = about >SATA RAID cards, and how well they are supported by FBSD 4.9.

Looking on the interl WWW site for driver info I found this: ftp://aiedownload.intel.com/df-support/5156/ENG/FreeBSD%20readme%20205.txt So it looks like the SRCS14L is a SATA raid card that looks like an already supported U320 RAID card to the OS. It uses the iir driver which is now stock with FreeBSD 4.9. If I were looking to build a SATA RAIDed server I'd buy one of these cards on the expecation that it would work.

If you have remote access to a serial port you can configure the most recent PowerEdge 2450 BIOS to use a serial console, and configure FreeBSD to use a serial console. My co-lo provider has a Cyclades serial server than I can SSH into and from there connect to my 2450.

I'd like to agree with you, Paul, but the 8139D is not mentioned in the version of the "rl" driver that I'm using, yet it works. Furthermore, nomenclature like "8139C+" is common in refering to "this version and later". That doesn't happen to be the case here, but it does happen. I won't buy any more of these cards, but with the information I had available to me at the time (and I had printed out the rl and re man pages and taken with me), it seemed worth a try. Trying to find a good card at a good price is not a crime, even if you are working on a tight time frame. When I have time to shop around on the internet and find cards based on the 8169S or the 8110S, I'll do that - but I have found more than once that it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find out what chipset a card uses without either looking at the actual card or writing to someone to ask. To compound my ill luck the store I went to happened to be out of the other RealTek-based card, so I couldn't even compare them. Their literature simply said "RealTek WOL chipset". > The man page for the re(4) driver says it supports the 8139C+ chip. > Not the 8139. Not the 8139A. Not the 8139B. Not the 8139C.

There is no need. I am by no means a RAID expert and this might be slightly off topic, but I've realized, that SCSI-Disks used in a RAID always have their write-cache disabled. Not sure why, but I guess partly for control meaning that if the controller flushes its cache, it can be sure that data is on the disk. With write cache enabled, the controler has no real knowledge of the state of the drives and may be "confused" by extremely different speeds (writing data to an empty cache on drive 1 while drive 2 is busy writing its own cache to disk). So basically the cache on the controller is an replacement for those on the drives. This may be complete bollocks, only what I've been told, but maybe someone would be so kind to clearify, since I am not aware one can disable write cache on ATA drives. Which even may not be relevant.

I've got two and I _love_ them. A 500Mhz Version is my fileserver running Linux (subject to change *g*) and a 800MHz Version is my FreeBSD "development" box (I play with it). > My main purpose is to setup a small, fanless multimedia playback freebsd > box, so any piece of info is valuable (driver support, computational > power, tv-output problems, ...) Did that with the 500Mhz box, playing DivX was ok but definitely not good. I have to admit that I used a "quick and dirty" approach and took advantage of X and xine/mplayer instead of looking for stuff that e.g. might work without X neither did I tweak any parameters or switched off deamons I didn't need. So I guess you _can_ make it run faster/smoother/better than I did almost "out of the box". Problems: read the handbook, took me almost a day to figure out why TV-out wasn't working when I saw that you have to change a jumper so that the plug changes from SPIF (or whatever) sound to TV-out. I used the video drivers provided by VIA for X Free on (I think) Red Hat Linux without any problems. HTH!

More importantly is that if not all of the data is on the disk it's possible to work out at what point data was no longer being stored on the disk. Filesystems deisgners and coders take great to define and control the order in which filesystem data is written to disk. This makes error recovery following a power failure much easier. Disk write caches tend to be used to optimise the speed at which data is written to disk. So if the filesystem wants to write to sectors 1 2345 2 in that order (for the above reasons) chances are that a disk write cache will re-order the writes as 1 2 2345 Even worse is the fact that not even this assumption can be made. We simply don't know which order the writes were done in. This makes crash revocer really hard. > With write cache enabled, the controler has no real knowledge of the > state of the drives and may be "confused" by extremely different speeds > (writing data to an empty cache on drive 1 while drive 2 is busy writing > its own cache to disk). This should not happen. RAID controllers and SCSI disks are quite smart and the disk can tell the controller (RAID or other) that its buffer is full and that no more data can be sent yet. > So basically the cache on the controller is an replacement for those on > the drives. Caches in front of slow resources do means that the cache can be written to very quickly which frees up other resources such as the PCI bus. With out any cache a write from main memory to disk would hog the PCI buss for longer. Chances are the transfer would be split due to the length of time it took. More PCI bus bandwidth would be uses sorting out which controller would have the bus next. > This may be complete bollocks, only what I've been told, but maybe > someone would be so kind to clearify, since I am not aware one can > disable write cache on ATA drives. There are some DOS based programs for some ATA disks that can be used to do this. I think Quantum/Maxtor have one. > Which even may not be relevant. Write caches on ATA disk present exactly the same problem as write caches on SCSI disks. It's one of the very good technical reasons for prefering SCSI over ATA - being able to turn the write cache off. Trying to explain to management what this is all about and why a £400 147GB SCSI disk may be preferable to a £150 250GB SATA disk is a different problem!

It does work with your specific card, although it is not "push button". I have the exact same card and am happy. Just build the port x11/nvidia-driver (run make && make install && make setup in the directory - portinstall does not let you run the setup. I suggest that you reboot your machine as it may hang. In case of emergency Ctrl-Backspace will eventually get you sorted out. My advice is to take the sample file called XF86Config.sample in /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver/work/NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-4365/doc/ (after you built it, of course :-) ) and edit whatever you need (typically to start with, the refresh rate of your monitor, the mouse device and the font paths). If you start from the standard XFree86 config file, it may take you much, much longer. Let us know if this helps Olivier Suken écrit: > my driver is GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X but can not used under freebsd 5.2R > and is supported now :( ? > thx > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hardware-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Feb 7 02:54:19 2004 Return-Path: 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 6BF3116A4CE; Sat, 7 Feb 2004 02:54:19 -0800 (PST) Received: from nsuncom.rz.hu-berlin.de (nsuncom.rz.hu-berlin.de [141.20.1.7]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C0E0843D1D; Sat, 7 Feb 2004 02:54:18 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from h0444lp6@student.hu-berlin.de) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1])i17AsH0Q016448; Sat, 7 Feb 2004 11:54:17 +0100 (MET) Received: from nsuncom.rz.hu-berlin.de ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (nsuncom [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) with ESMTP id 16035-08; Sat, 7 Feb 2004 11:54:16 +0100 (MET) Received: from kojo (x82.rewi.hu-berlin.de [141.20.121.82]) i17AsAaR016206; Sat, 7 Feb 2004 11:54:15 +0100 (MET) From: "h0444lp6" To: , , Date: Sat, 7 Feb 2004 18:54:58 +0800 Message-ID: <000001c3ed68$e6675820$5279148d@kojo> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook, Build 10.0.2616 Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1165 X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new at hu-berlin.de Subject: Atheros Super G X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 07 Feb 2004 10:54:19 -0000 Dear list, I would like to know if the Atheros Super G chipset is supported by 5.2-Release.
