I have problem with SCSI timeouts under FreeBSD 2.0
SNAP950412 in a system composed basically of an
Intel Plato P90 Premier PCI II (Neptune chipset)
and a PCI Adaptec 2940.
For what I read until now under freebsd,linux groups
seems that the MB I'm testing use edge-triggered IRQ
rather than level-sensitive on the PCI bus.
This is confirmed too from an online manual for
this board I found on gatekeeper.dec.com. It claims
that the version of BIOS I use now setup the card for edge-triggerd IRQ.
This was not true evidentily for previous versions.
This seems confirmed too from the fact that using
FreeBSD-current aic7* drivers that report IRQ status as edge-triggered
the system behave correctly.
Questions:
(1) Anyone may confirm this is correct for this
particular MB?
(2) Are there any way to setup the MB for use
level-sensitive IRQS?
(3) In the case answer to question (2) is "impossible"
it would be "safe" to buy a mother in this conditions?
(4) Should the kernel for this MB compiled with PCI_EDGE_INT
and what would be the perfomance penalization?
Thanks, Peppe.
