First, here's the BSDI 2.1 dmesg output: BSDI BSD/OS 2.1 Kernel #1: Mon Jan 6 16:49:23 PST 1997 cpu = Pentium (about 133 MHz) model 2, stepping 12 delay multiplier 3384 real mem = 134217728 avail mem = 130179072 buffer cache = 16777216 isa0 (root) pci0 at root: configuration mechanism 1 pccons0 at isa0 iobase 0x60 irq 1: color, 8 screens com0 at isa0 iobase 0x3f8 irq 4: buffered (16550AF) com1 at isa0 iobase 0x2f8 irq 3: buffered (16550AF) lp0 at isa0 iobase 0x378 irq 7 fdc0 at isa0 iobase 0x3f0 irq 6 drq 2: floppy controller fd0 at fdc0 slave 0: 1.44M HD 3.5 floppy npx0 at isa0 iobase 0xf0: math coprocessor vga0 at isa0 iobase 0x3c0 maddr 0xa0000-0xaffff: VGA graphics bha0 at isa0 iobase 0x330 irq 9: Buslogic EISA/PCI/VLB rev 42 (32-bit) Delaying for SCSI bus reset and device self tests bha0: synch negotiation, parity tg0 at bha0 target 0 sd0 at tg0 unit 0: disk: SEAGATE ST51080N rev 0943 (SCSI-2) 2109840*512 tg0: synch transfer period 200 ns, offset 15 (10 MB/s) tg1 at bha0 target 6 st0 at tg1 unit 0: SONY SDT-5200 rev 3.26 (SCSI-2) DDS cassette streaming (512) tape tg1: synch transfer period 200 ns, offset 8 (10 MB/s) de0 at pci0 iobase 0x6000 irq 10: DC21140 [10-100Mb/s] pass 1.2 de0: address 00:00:c0:5b:8b:e4 de0: enabling 10baseT UTP port de1 at pci0 iobase 0x6200 irq 5: DC21140 [10-100Mb/s] pass 1.2 de1: address 00:00:c0:71:8b:e4 de1: enabling 10baseT UTP port bha0: warning, interrupts not working, using polling Of note, BSDI uses bha0 where FreeBSD prefers bt0, apparently. If I start the boot floppy with the default kernel, it gets confused about aha0 and bt0. So I use the visual kernel editor to remove the aha0 support so it won't conflict with the bt0 PCI support. Everything else is left as-is (though I've tried removing everything other non-essential item, as well). Only when it gets to "Probing devices, one moment..." it sits there all day. Looking at console on F2, it gets (something like): bt0: Abort fail bt0: Timed out ... If I let it sit long enough (several minutes), about four of these error message pairs show up. Eventually, it'll get to the main sysinstall screen. However, it is unable to see any drives in the system, so I can't proceed with an install. Yet, the initial kernel probes do reveal the Buslogic SCSI adapter, the Seagate SCSI drive, and a Sony SCSI DAT drive. Any hints? Might that BSDI bha0 warning about interrupts be significant with FreeBSD? --Morgan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
