Back on 2.1.0 we got everything working with little to no problems, I've since upgraded to 2.2-GAMMA (970205), and just now 2.2.6. All I have in my notes are: The kernel is patched in sio.c to set ftl_init to 8 instead of 14 to avoid silo overflows. Now, I vaguely remember this, but it seems that 'ftl_init' has disappeared from the source in sio.c, in 2.2.6. I cannot seem to get these errors to go away. Although, by throttling down to 19200 I can reduce the frequency of the errors. The thing is, this used to work fine at 57600, for months, in the 2.2-GAMMA kernel. So where do I look now, to do what I used to be doing with 'ftl_init'? Also, even though I do get these errors, I can connect to the modem (using kermit) and dial back into another modem on the same board--the AT commands seem to work OK, (every thing is echoed without problem), but when I connect up to the other modem all I receive is garbage. Now I also vaguely recall doing something else here--but once again I cannot place what it was. I have /etc/rc.serial setting the rate to 19200, I have the getty using std.19200, I have run over these things several times, and cannot understand (or remember) why this is happening. Any suggestions? -Brandon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
