Keep up the good work! I am having some problems though... I downloaded the FreeBSD-current src/sys/* tree last nite to see if the vm probs have been fixed yet... I am having a problem accessing my tape drive. Any open op comes back with errno set to 'Device not configured'... I use a Packard-Bell Force 2386 with a 486DX2-66 CPU, and a Colorado Jumbo 120 tape drive, which works fine under 2.0-RELEASE, with the exception of the many 'No pages???' kernel messages that op up every time it's accessed. -- /* rfttest.c */ #include #include #include void main(void) { int rft; if ((rft = open("/dev/rft0", O_RDWR)) == -1) fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", strerror(errno)); else close(rft); } -- Device not configured -- The kernel was compiled with optimization set to: -O2 -m486 -fomit-frame-pointers -- lower optimization settings seem to make no dent into the problems at hand, and -O3 messes up one kernel source file. [i forget which] -- Is 'options MACHVMCOMPAT' now obsolete? Compiling with it seems to cause it's routines to access non-existant proc struct members... -- under 2.0-RELEASE, reboot seems to half of the time sync the disk, then lock-up without dismounting the disk... thus the last warning in the dmesg... -- The speed of the OS seems to be a helluva lot slower than 1.1.5.1, under 1.1.5.1 the nasa/ames pitest program runs in about 350 seconds, but under 2.* it runs in 840+ seconds. I'll upload pitest.tar.gz to: wcarchive.cdrom.com:/pub/incoming/FreeBSD -- config and dmesg follow: -- machine "i386" cpu "I386_CPU" cpu "I486_CPU" ident EndersBox maxusers 32 maxfdescs 2048 timezone 6 dst 5 controller isa0 device npx0 at isa? port "IO_NPX" irq 13 vector npxintr options "COMPAT_43" options "ALLOW_CONFLICT_IOADDR" options BOUNCE_BUFFERS options DODUMP controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr disk wd0 at wdc0 drive 0 disk wd1 at wdc0 drive 1 controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr disk fd0 at fdc0 drive 0 disk fd1 at fdc0 drive 1 tape ft0 at fdc0 drive 2 # <<<--- RIGHT WHERE IT BELONGS !!!!! options FDSEEKWAIT="16" device sc0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector scintr device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 12 vector psmintr device lpt0 at isa? port 0x378 tty irq 7 vector lptintr device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector siointr device sio1 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector siointr pseudo-device pty 32 options "NCONS=8" options "STAR_SAVER" options "FADE_SAVER" options "COM_BIDIR" device pca0 at isa? tty pseudo-device speaker pseudo-device ether pseudo-device loop options FIFO options SYSVSEM options SYSVMSG options SYSVSHM options SHMMAXPGS=64 pseudo-device sl2 pseudo-device ppp2 pseudo-device bpfilter options INET options GATEWAY options MULTICAST options MROUTING options IPMASKAGENT=1 options SUBNETSARELOCAL options "DIRECTED_BROADCAST" options IPBROADCASTECHO=1 options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options FFS options MSDOSFS options PROCFS options FDESC options QUOTA options FASTLINKS options "UPDATE_INTERVAL=1" pseudo-device log pseudo-device devpager pseudo-device swappager pseudo-device vnodepager pseudo-device gzip options "USER_LDT" options "PANIC_REBOOT_WAIT_TIME=30" config kernel root on wd0 swap on wd0 dumps on wd0 #------------------------------------------------------------------------ FreeBSD 2.1.0-Development #0: Wed Jan 4 12:58:09 CST 1995 root@EndersBox.OakTree.Com:/usr/incoming/FreeBSD-current/src/sys/compile/EndersBox.OakTree.Com CPU: i486DX (486-class CPU) real memory = 4063232 (992 pages) avail memory = 3002368 (733 pages) using 40 buffers containing 327680 bytes of memory Probing for devices on the ISA bus: sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard sc0: VGA color <8 virtual consoles> psm0 at 0x60-0x63 irq 12 on motherboard lpt0 at 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa lpt0: Interrupt-driven port lp0: TCP/IP capable interface sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa sio0: type 16550A sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa sio1: type 16450 pca0 PC speaker audio driver wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): wd0: 431MB (883624 total sec), 1018 cyl, 14 head, 62 sec, bytes/sec 512 fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa fdc0: [0: fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in] <<<<------ Where is it!@#!@#@!#????? npx0 on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface bpf: lo0 attached bpf: ppp0 attached bpf: ppp1 attached bpf: sl0 attached bpf: sl1 attached WARNING: / was not properly dismounted ÿ
