To: hackers@freebsd.org Date: Sat, 1 Jul 1995 07:34:55 +0300 (EET DST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Length: 3771 Sender: hackers-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Ok... Here's some food for thought: I had in mind to replace my _old_ 386SX motherboard with 486PCI motherboard, but I ran into problems; Configuration when I started: 386SX motherboard, no FPU, 8M RAM, 3c503 ether card, Tseng ET4000 video card, generic multi-I/O with IDE, Seagate ST3390A ide drive. I swapped the m/b, new motherboard is made bu MG Product, it has 3 ISA slots and 4 PCI slots, UMC chipset. All aforementioned cards, Intel 486DX/33 CPU w/128k L2 cache + 8M 36-bit JEDEC SIMM. NIC doesn't get probed right for some reason (look at the boot messages included below). I tried to change cards, board settings, even compiled a few kernels, didn't help. I tried 3 different 3c503 cards and one WD80003E card, not one of them worked. Even the 3COM diagnostics program for 3c503 didn't work under DOS, it just exited without saying anything. Linux probes the card correctly, I don't know if it would actually work, I didn't want to install the whole shitty shebang just to find that out. The "failed to clear shared memory at foo" message varied with the address I tried to gave it, I think 0xcc000 became 0xcc070. I can recheck if needed. Any ideas what might cause this problem? If there's known problems with UMC PCI chipset, please tell me. I haven't paid that m/b yet :) I *did* try fiddle with BIOS settings too but nothing helped.
