Hi,
I've been told to write to this list re: my problems. I upgraded my
FreeBSD machine from a 486/66 EISA to a P90 PCI yesterday by basically
pulling out the hard drive from one and placing it in another and
booting & UserConfiguring kernel.GENERIC shipped w/ 2.0.5R. So far
so good - system boots, everything works fine.
I did a sup and "make world" to get a -stable release, everything
makes, I configure a config file (below), make the new kernel, and
the pci code in the kernel no longer detects the ncr scsi device:
---snip---
probing for devices on the pci0 bus:
configuration mode 1 allows 32 devices
changing root device to sd0a
panic: cannot mount root
---snip---
The confusing part is that it works fine w/ 2.0.5R but not with
2.1.0-STABLE. Is it me, my machine, or the code, I wonder?? I
hope it's me!
System hardware: AST Premmia GX P/90, 32 mb RAM, PCI ATI Mach64 Vid,
Soundblaster 16 ISA. Onboard ncr/ethernet. Disk
is 2 GB Micropolis.
Appropriate sections of my config file: (FWIW, this was extracted
from someone who has the same pci/ncr controller as I):
...
config kernel root on wd0
controller isa0
controller pci0
controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr
disk fd0 at fdc0 drive 0
disk fd1 at fdc0 drive 1
controller ncr0
controller scbus0
...
If you'd like to see my entire "CONFIG" file, please finger
bsd@jaguar.cris.com (I don't want to fill up everyone's mail box
excessively :))
Thank you very much!
