Moving it another slot over made it work OK. When I changed the 'Init Display First' option to AGP it worked fine next to the AGP slot (!) Also, when I first tried to talk to the UPS via the serial port the system would wedge solid (no DDB, or panic etc). Forcing the serial ports from 'auto' to COM1 and COM2 settings in the BIOS seemed to fix this. I also disabled the legacy audio, set the parallel port mode to EPP, and forced the 'used' IRQs (eg 3, 4, and 7) and DMA's (1) to legacy. Now my problem is that the adw0: port 0xb800-0xb8ff mem 0xd8005000-0xd80050ff irq 5 at device 8.0 on pci0 adw0: SCSI ID 7, High & Low SE Term Enabled, Queue Depth 253 Is detecting my AIT tape like so -> sa0 at adw0 bus 0 target 4 lun 0 sa0: Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device sa0: 6.600MB/s transfers (16bit) Whereas another machine with an Adaptec 7895 detects it like so -> sa0 at ahc1 bus 0 target 4 lun 0 sa0: Removable Sequential Access SCSI2 device sa0: 20.0MB/s transfers (10.0MHz, offset 8, 16bit) The media speed is only 3meg a second uncompressed, so it's not a big issue but I am just curious if it is really that slow or not. (I would do a test by dd'ing /dev/zero to it when compression is on but I don't have any spare tapes ) I also have a Diamond Touch keyboard (with the crappy power/wakeup/sleep keys) which doesn't get detected if atkbdc0 has flags 0x1 set :( --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
