Strange as it might seem, my dell would only give me the option to change my PCI IRQ settings for the NIC cards, Adaptec SCSI adapters and the Dell Raid adapters between 5, 10 and 11. I ended up changing these items in the BIOS to: Slot 3: Actiontec Electronics comm ada -IRQ 11 (no change) Embedded Broadcom Corp 10/100/1000 NIC - IRQ 10 (no change) Embedded Dell Computer Corp RAID adapter - IRQ 5 (was 11) Embedded Intel Corp 10/100 NIC - IRQ 11 (was 5) Embedded Adaptec SCSI Adapter - IRQ 5 (was 11) Embedded Adaptec SCSI Adapter - IRQ 10 (no change) The 4.3-Stable seems to work on the Dell with any combination of IRQ assignments as long as the same devices share the same IRQ as outlined above. I tried the 4.3-Release for fun and it was a no go... The install has now been able to find the disks... so it is off to the next hurdle : ) Thanks so much for your help, Barbara Richard Smith wrote: > On Tue, Jun 26, 2001 at 08:26:06PM -0400, Barbara Diederich wrote: > > I have tried the 4.3-Stable install and still get a "No disks found!" > > error when I attempt to the standard install and go into the fdisk > > options. > > > > The message below is related to the SCSI Raid Array that I get when > > loading the 6/24/01 4.3-STABLE kernel as I boot into the install menu > > with no changes made to the kernel options provided: > > > > ahc0: port 0xc800-0xc8ff mem > > 0xfe7fe000=0xfe7fefff irq 10 at device 4.1 on pci3 > > aic7899: Wide Channel B, SCSI Id=7, 32/255 SCBs > > aac0: mem 0xf0000000-0xf7ffffff irq 11 at device 2.1 > > on pci2 > > aac0: can't allocate interupt > > device_probe_and_attached: aac0 attach returned 6 > > > > The message below is related to the SCSI Raid Array that I get when > > loading the 6/24/01 4.3-STABLE kernel as I boot into the install menu > > with all kernal options removed for storage and network: > > > > ahc0: port 0xc800-0xc8ff mem > > 0xfe7fe000=0xfe7fefff irq 10 at device 4.1 on pci3 > > aac0: mem 0xf0000000-0xf7ffffff irq 11 at device 2.1 > > on pci2 > > aac0: can't allocate interupt > > device_probe_and_attached: aac0 attach returned 6 > > > > Any insight is greatly appreciated or if more information is needed from > > the dmesg output let me know. > > Just for your information, my 2550 uses irq 2: > > aac0: mem 0xf0000000-0xf7ffffff irq 2 at device 2.1 on pci2 > aac0: i960RX 100MHz, 126MB total memory, optional battery present (3) > aac0: Kernel 2.5-0, S/N fafaf001c91010d2 > > If you would like the full dmesg output for comparison, let me know. > > -- > Richard Smith > Network Systems Director > Satamatics Ltd > Green Lane, Tewkesbury, GL20 8HD, United Kingdom > Tel: +44 1684 278610 > Fax: +44 1684 278611 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
