I was referring to the PCI chip at bus 0, slot 7 which handles the ISA bridging.. On some (newer, non-buggy) miata GL's, its: Bus 00 Slot 07: Cypress PCI Peripheral Controller On the older miata's with the pyxis dma & other bugs, its: Bus 00 Slot 07: Intel SIO 82378 Another tip is to make sure your firmware is up-to-date. I'm running V6.7-250 Feb 19 1998 11:57:45 (from show version) on my old, buggy miata. Yet another tip is to try cold-booting the machine. > OK, I've gotten this far now - I'll work on compiling up a gdb on the > x86 which understands alpha (Doug sent me a configure line earlier) > and start running serial cables. :) Speaking of this, does anybody know how to recover a serial line on a 3.0-current/i386 host after a gdb remote attach times out? If I fumble on setting the baud rate properly, or make some other screwup, gdb leaves the line 'busy' & I cannot seem to get it back w/o rebooting my destop machine (which is running a 3.0-current kernel from sources cvsupped circa July 20th). This is both with the gdb from Doug's directory on freefall & with one I built myself. Nobody has the file open, tip, kermit, etc all fail to open it. There are no lock files that I can find. A ktrace of tip trying to open it looks like: 2406 tip CALL open(0x12030,0x2,0xa) 2406 tip NAMI "/dev/cuaa0" 2406 tip RET open -1 errno 16 Device busy Thanks, Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
