Subject: FreeBSD does not recognize NCR 53C810 SCSI controller
I tried to install FreeBSD 2.0.5. When I boot the system from floppy,
the list of recognized devices (shown during booting) does not contain
the SCSI controller nor the ethernet controller.
When the installation menu is shown, the system doesn't know of any
harddisk in the system (fdisk).
I tried to boot from a 2.1.0 boot floppy: same results.
I built a kernel on another system, adding some printf's to
/sys/pci/pcisupp.c in the chipset_probe function. It detects a PCI bus
but doesnot see any devices on it (as far as I can interpret the code).
System:
Compaq Prosignia 300
Pentium 75 Mc
PCI + EISA bus
32 MB RAM
SCSI controller NCR 53C810
config.tool reports: port: 7100-71FF
memory address: 34M
interrupt: 10
devices: Harddisk
DAT
CD-Rom
Ethernet: AMD PCNET controller
config.tool reports: port: 7000-701F
interrupt: 3
Cirrus Logic video chipset
Apart from the Cirrus, AMD and NCR chips, all larger chips carry a
COMPAQ logo.
Any help is welcome,
