I just installed one of Cyrix's 386 to 486 upgrades (going from an Intel 386-33 to Cx486DRx-33/60) and FreeBSD 2.0 has gone crazy! I have FreeBSD installed on my second drive and everything works beautifully when the 386 is installed. But as soon as I install the 486 I get the following messages: wd1a: wdstart: timeout waiting to give command reading fsbn 2392 of 2392-2423 (wd1 bn 2455; cn 2 tn 6 sn 61) wd1: status ff error 1 wd1: wdunwedge failed: wd1: status ff error 1 This continues indefinitely and I have to hit the restart button. NOTE: The messages do not start immediately, sometimes it happens fast, sometimes I can go 10 minutes or so. I talked to Cyrix and they seemed to think it was because the Cache was not properly setup. They faxed me some docs on setting up the cache, but when I examined locore.s I saw that the code was there. I tried some new options (such as changing CCR0_BARB to CCRO_FLUSH) and even completely disabling the cache, but nothing worked. I assume that someone else has installed one of these upgrades (thus the code). If you know why this is happening and what I can do to fix it, PLEASE PLEASE send me some email. FreeBSD is completely useless right now! -Pat Mills mills@scsn.net
