Hi all,
This is my first post on this list. I hope this is the right place to submit my problem.
I have compiled my kernel with
device fdc
hints WIGWAW.hints
in my config file
but i don't have a /dev/fd0 device, neither have I /dev/fd0x (x=a...h). I am using ("uname -a") FreeBSD wigwaw 5.0-RELEASE-p6 FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE-p6 #7: Wed Mar 26 00:02:29 CET 2003 root@wigwaw:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/WIGWAW i386
Here is the output of "dmesg | grep fd"
fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3
fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3
fdc0: cannot reserve I/O port range (6 ports)
Is it a hardware problem? Or is there something wrong with my WIGWAW.hints file. Here is a part of it (grep fdc WIGWAW.hints):
hint.fdc.0.at="isa"
hint.fdc.0.port="0x3F0"
hint.fdc.0.irq="6"
hint.fdc.0.drq="2"
hint.fd.0.at="fdc0"
hint.fd.0.drive="0"
hint.fd.1.at="fdc0"
hint.fd.1.drive="1"
It is basically the same as the default from GENERIC.hints. So ... What does this line "isa" mean? Is the irq correct?
Thanks for any hint on making my floppy driver work.
