From: Wilko Bulte To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, wilko@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: alpha/20248: DEFPA FDDI on alpha panics system Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2000 14:15:55 +0200 It appears that the probe on alpha is quite incomplete, judging from the messages the kernel displays on boot: Alpha probe messages: fpa0: port 0x9000-0x907f mem 0x80950000-0x80 95ffff,0x80975000-0x8097507f irq 4 at device 11.0 on pci0 fpa0: interrupting at CIA irq 4 fpa0: driver is using old-style compatability shims Intel probe messages: fpa0: port 0xe400-0xe47f mem 0xfbf90000-0xfbf9ffff,0xfbfaf000-0xfbfaf07f irq 9 at device 9.0 on pci0 fpa0: DEC DEFPA PCI FDDI SAS Controller fpa0: FDDI address 00:00:f8:43:c4:53, FW=3.10, HW=1, SMT V7.2 fpa0: FDDI Port = S (PMD = ANSI Multi-Mode) fpa0: driver is using old-style compatability shims The missing messages are produced by pdq_print_fddi_chars() which is only called by pdq_process_command_responses(). It appears the kernel cannot send commands to the card correctly (and/or receive the commands). This is in line with the fact that ifconfig can UP the interface but never a RING UP condition is detected. -- Wilko Bulte wilko@freebsd.org Arnhem, the Netherlands To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
