Hopefully someone can help me out here... I have a SC200 53c810 PCI SCSI card, to which is attached a 2gig IBM SCSI HDD. My motherboard is a fairly old 486 based board, a Hippo 15 from Octek, with UMC chips... It contains Award BIOS v4,50G and supports the NCR bios, and the processor is a Cyrix 5x86-100. Extract from bios boot messages: NCR SDMS (TM) V3.0 PCI SCSI BIOS, PCI Rev. 2.0 Copyright 1993 NCR Corporation. NCRPCI-3.06.00 ID 02 IBM 0664N1H I have successfully installed both PC DOS 7 and OS/2 Warp 4 using the same configuration of H/W, however I am having no success with FreeBSD. :-( While booting from the 2.2.5-RELEASE install floppy, doing a debug & verbose boot, the probe results in the following: Probing for devices on PCI bus 0: configuration mode 1 allows 32 devices. ncr0 <ncr 53c810 fast10 scsi> rev 2 int a irq 11 on pci0:4 mapreg[10] type=1 addr=00006000 size=0100. mapreg[14] type=0 addr=f0000000 szie=0100. reg20: virtual=0xf3b22000 physical=0xf0000000 size=0x100 ncr0: minsync=25, maxsync=206, maxoffs=8, 16 dwords burst, normal dma fifo ncr0: single-ended, open drain IRQ driver CACHE TEST FAILED: reg dstat-sstat2 readback ffffffff.

Probing for devices on the ISA bus: [...] imasks: bio c0000040, tty c003009a, net c003009a BIOS Geometries: 0:03fe3c3f 0..1022=1023 cylinders, 0..60=61 heads, 1..63=63 sectors Obviously, since it doesn't make it to the "waiting for scsi devices to settle" the "CACHE INCORRECTLY CONFIGURED" might have something to do with things... My problem is that the only cache on the system is the CPU and L2 cache on the M/B. This I have disabled in the BIOS, yet there is no apparent difference in operation. There are a number of settings in the BIOS for various PCI options, however not having needed any changes for the other operating systems leaves me reluctant to fiddle. I have searched the mail-archive and GNATS etc, however I can only seem to find good reports on the SC200. :-/ I'm wondering if I need a bios upgrade or similar, since from what I can see, the card has two jumpers, one controlling the IRQ, the other unknown. If anyone has any suggestions, I would be most happy to listen! -- | Tony Frank | FAX: +61-3-9720-4672 | | Email: s9507886@cse.rmit.edu.au | Mobile: +61-412-481-029 | | 4th Year Computer Systems Engineering @ RMIT, Melbourne, Vic.
