I have been using this system for about a year now with out any problems. I'm going to slowly upgrade. I purchased a TYAN SCSI controller, which uses the NCR 53c825 chip. The controller has a internal/external SCSI-II FAST bus and a internal SCSI-II FAST/WIDE bus. I should have my Micropolis 3243W drive in two weeks. I wanted to test the controller with my current drives. I disabled the onboard controller and installed the 53c825. This is my old dmesg: --------------------- FreeBSD 2.1.0-951104-SNAP #0: Sun Nov 12 09:22:24 EST 1995 ejc@gargoyle.bazzle.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/gargoyle CPU: i486 DX2 (486-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x435 Stepping=5 Features=0x3 real memory = 8388608 (8192K bytes) avail memory = 6828032 (6668K bytes) Probing for devices on the ISA bus: sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard sc0: VGA color <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x0> sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa sio0: type 16550A sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa sio1: type 16550A lpt0 at 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa lpt0: Interrupt-driven port lp0: TCP/IP capable interface fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa fdc0: NEC 72065B fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in npx0 on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface Probing for devices on the PCI bus: chip0 rev 4 on pci0:0 ncr0 rev 1 int a irq 9 on pci0:1 ncr0 waiting for scsi devices to settle (ncr0:0:0): "QUANTUM LP240S GM240S01X 6.4" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ncr0:0:0): Direct-Access sd0(ncr0:0:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 Mb/sec) offset 8. 234MB (479350 512 byte sectors) (ncr0:1:0): "QUANTUM LP52S 950509405 2.8" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(ncr0:1:0): Direct-Access sd1(ncr0:1:0): 250ns (4 Mb/sec) offset 8. 49MB (102171 512 byte sectors) (ncr0:2:0): "PLEXTOR CD-ROM DM-XX28 3.08" type 5 removable SCSI 2 cd0(ncr0:2:0): CD-ROM cd0(ncr0:2:0): asynchronous. cd present.[201408 x 2048 byte records] chip1 rev 3 on pci0:2 ncr1 rev 2 int a irq 11 on pci0:5 ncr1 waiting for scsi devices to settle vga0 rev 1 on pci0:6 This is what I get when I disable the onboard scsi and use the 825 ------------------------------------------------------------------ FreeBSD 2.1.0-951104-SNAP #0: Sun Nov 12 09:22:24 EST 1995 ejc@gargoyle.bazzle.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/gargoyle CPU: i486 DX2 (486-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x435 Stepping=5 Features=0x3 real memory = 8388608 (8192K bytes) avail memory = 6828032 (6668K bytes) Probing for devices on the ISA bus: sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard sc0: VGA color <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x0> sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa sio0: type 16550A sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa sio1: type 16550A lpt0 at 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa lpt0: Interrupt-driven port lp0: TCP/IP capable interface fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa fdc0: NEC 72065B fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in npx0 on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface Probing for devices on the PCI bus: chip0 rev 4 on pci0:0 ncr0 rev 2 int a irq 11 on pci0:5 ncr0 waiting for scsi devices to settle (ncr0:0:0): "QUANTUM LP240S GM240S01X 6.4" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ncr0:0:0): Direct-Access sd0(ncr0:0:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 Mb/sec) offset 8. 234MB (479350 512 byte sectors) (ncr0:1:0): "QUANTUM LP52S 950509405 2.8" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(ncr0:1:0): Direct-Access sd1(ncr0:1:0): 250ns (4 Mb/sec) offset 8. 49MB (102171 512 byte sectors) (ncr0:2:0): "PLEXTOR CD-ROM DM-XX28 3.08" type 5 removable SCSI 2 cd0(ncr0:2:0): CD-ROM cd0(ncr0:2:0): asynchronous. cd present.[201408 x 2048 byte records] chip1 rev 3 on pci0:2 vga0 rev 1 on pci0:6 ncr0: aborting job ncr0:0: ERROR (90:0) (0-0-ff00) (8/13) (c8c:50000000) script cmd = 740a8700 reg da 00 00 13 47 08 00 0f 35 08 00 00 80 00 07 0b --------------------------------------------------- This repeats four times with simular numbers. It then says it can't mount root and reboots. Are not the 810 and 825 compatable with each other. Does anybody have any ideas on this? BTW: I want to say thank you to everybody who worked on FreeBSD 2.1 it is great. Thanks, ejc ejc@nasvr1.cb.att.com
