Be sure to reply to that address.
I have:
CPQ Proliant 1600 7/500 w/ 256MB RAM
4 - 9 GB Plug w/ultra 2 SCSI HD's
1 - in an array by itself as a "boot drive"
(RAID0)
3 - in an array at RAID5
these are running on CPQ Smart Array 221 (on slot
4, bus 2)
an embedded IDE Controller (enabled as 2nd
controller [floppy is first on
another embedded IDE controller])
running the CPQ CDR-8435 CD-ROM on IRQ 14
Right now I have no OS installed & am trying to
install FreeBSD 3.4 from CD.
When I boot from the CD, FreeBSD doesn't
recognize the Smart Array 221
card - so there's nowhere
to install the OS to. After reading through
newsgroups I found a fix & on
another box already running FBSD
I created a new kernel by inserting:
--------------------------------------------------
---------------------
controller ida0 at pci0 bio irq 11 vector
idaintr
controller ida0
disk id0 at ida0 drive 0
disk id1 at ida0 drive 1
disk id2 at ida0 drive 2
disk id3 at ida0 drive 3
--------------------------------------------------
---------------------
into my kernel. configed it, make depended it,
maked it, make installed it,
gziped it onto the kern.flp.
Booted & recognized my Smart Array! (singing,
dancing, kissing people in
the streets, until...) then
on the install, CD-ROM was not found.
OK. So read through LINT & saw that perhaps I
was missing the option:
--------------------------------------------------
---------------------
options IDA_CUCKOO_MODE=0
--------------------------------------------------
---------------------
inserted into my kernel. configed it,
got 'unknown option
"IDA_CUCKOO_MODE"'
make depended it anyway, maked it, make installed
it, gziped it onto the
kern.flp.
Still wouldn't recognize the CD-ROM.
OK. tried defining the cuckoo control in my ida.c
--------------------------------------------------
---------------------
/* IDA wdc vector stealing (cuckoo) control */
#define IDA_CUCKOO_NEVER 0
#define IDA_CUCKOO_ROOTWD 1
#define IDA_CUCKOO_ROOTNOTIDA 2
#define IDA_CUCKOO_ALWAYS 3
#ifndef IDA_CUCKOO_MODE
#define IDA_CUCKOO_MODE IDA_CUCKOO_NEVER
/* IDA_CUCKOO_ALWAYS */
#endif
--------------------------------------------------
---------------------
reconfiged my kernel, still got 'unknown
option "IDA_CUCKOO_MODE"'
make depended it anyway, maked it, make installed
it, gziped it onto the
kern.flp.
Still wouldn't recognize the CD-ROM.
What am I doing wrong? I've also tried to do the
install via FTP. But,
although the boot up recognizes
my Ethernet card, I can't get out using it!
I'm ready to head to the tallest tower about
now! Please, if you have any
mercy, please help! I know someone out there
must have come across this & resolved it. (also
tried calling Compaq
regarding their FreeBSD test drive - but they
don't
support the OS and no one there know who may have
set up the test box.)
Thank you for any insight you might offer.
