I see many people have installed monowall (http://m0n0.ch/wall/) on these boxes with good success. I would be done myself unless I was setting up a wireless bridge. These boxes are basicly custom pentium 200's with 3 ethernet ports, a few serial ports, 2 pcmcia card slots, a 44pin ide header, a keyboard header, and 2 backwards facing pci slots. The problem I am having is with getting a pc card to be detected, it knows they're there, it just wont register them. First off, I'm new to BSD. Second, I know this is not straight up BSD, but if given direction I can make anything happen that needs to for testing, I have a 5.3 box setup for testing, altho I'm having trouble getting it to boot on the firebox ( i need to recompile and disabe psm0 detection) Anyway, this is what I'm seeing. pci_cfgintr: can't route an interrupt to 0:16 INTA pcic0: at device 16.0 on pci0 pcic0: PCI Memory allocated: 0x88000000 pci_cfgintr: can't route an interrupt to 0:16 INTA pcic0: No PCI interrupt routed, trying ISA. pcic0: Polling mode pcic0: TI12XX PCI Config Reg: [ring enable][speaker enable][pwr save][CSC serial isa irq] pccard0: on pcic0 pci_cfgintr: can't route an interrupt to 0:16 INTB pcic1: at device 16.1 on pci0 pcic1: PCI Memory allocated: 0x88001000 pci_cfgintr: can't route an interrupt to 0:16 INTB pcic1: No PCI interrupt routed, trying ISA. pcic1: Polling mode pcic1: TI12XX PCI Config Reg: [ring enable][speaker enable][pwr save][CSC serial isa irq] pccard1: on pcic1 pmtimer0 on isa0 I've google'd and google'd and poked and prodded, I've added the following to /boot/loader.conf, with no success. hint.acpi.0.disabled=3D1 hw.cbb.start_memory=3D0x20000000 hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range=3D1 If you want a look at the kernel config it is located here.

I'll install FreeBSD 6.0-R from scratch. Googling around I found the Highpoint RocketRAID 1640 PCI 32bit SATA RAID 0,1 (5 ?, 10 ? docs are not very clear) controller. I'm mainly interested in RAID 1 (mirror) with RAID 5 as a plus. Anyone already using it could please provide my feedback ? It's well supported ? (reading ata(4) and ataraid(4) seems yes but...) Works ok ? it's a RocketRAID V2 or V3 metadata (according to ataraid(4) only V2 is read-write supported) Any suggestions, recommendation, hints, etc. are very welcome ! :-) Many thanks in advance!! -- bye!

There are "soft" versions from Promise and Highpoint, which leach off the CPU for a lot of their work. This is the case with the 1640 controller I believe. However, at least with Highpoint, they do offer a series with a dedicated processor onboard, which is their "A" series, which is meant to compete with the offerings of 3Ware. I recently purchased an 1820A series controller from Highpoint, which is an 8-port Serial ATA controller, 64-bit (32-bit PCI compatible), for just over $200 USD. I paired it up with 4 WD 320GB drives, in a RAID-5 config, and it's a screamer. The motherboard/CPU is a dual P-II 400 on an Asus board, and the speed is amazing out of an older machine such as this. I know I wouldn't have the same speed on one of the "soft" controllers from either company. I did exactly what you described, popped the card in, hooked up the drives, Ctrl-H to get into the BIOS, set up the RAID-5, popped in the 5.4-RELEASE CD, and loaded it right up without having to jump through hoops: FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #0: Wed Oct 12 23:29:12 EDT 2005 root@daffy.spatzie.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PORKY Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0 CPU: Pentium II/Pentium II Xeon/Celeron (400.91-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x651 Stepping = 1 Features=0x183fbff real memory = 268435456 (256 MB) avail memory = 253050880 (241 MB) MPTable: FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs cpu0 (BSP): APIC ID: 0 cpu1 (AP): APIC ID: 1 hptmv0: mem 0xd8000000-0xd807ffff irq 18 at device 18.0 on pci0 RocketRAID 182x SATA Controller driver Version 1.1 RR182x [0,0]: channel started successfully RR182x [0,1]: channel started successfully RR182x [0,2]: channel started successfully RR182x [0,3]: channel started successfully RR182x: RAID5 write-back enabled da0 at hptmv0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device da0: 915735MB (1875425280 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 116739C) I like the price point, the performance, and the ease of upgrade, I can pop this into a newer machine with a 64-bit slot and keep right on going. I never got the same warm and fuzzy from 3Ware, plus their cards are much more expensive, and I'm working on a lower budget.

I paid just over $100.00 for a 2 port 64bit 3Ware I think it depends on models, because, according to the PDF online manual, the highpoint 1640 is hardware based (using the 372A chipset) and provides its own BIOS-based setup&configure utility.

I paired it up with 4 WD 320GB drives, in a RAID-5 config, It's a bit too much for my needs, the price is interesting for an 8-drive card, but it's over ny needs and my money (I couldn't buy so much HDs anyways ;)) ) > hptmv0: mem 0xd8000000-0xd807ffff irq 18 > at device 18.0 on pci0 > RocketRAID 182x SATA Controller driver Version 1.1 > RR182x [0,0]: channel started successfully > RR182x [0,1]: channel started successfully > RR182x [0,2]: channel started successfully > RR182x [0,3]: channel started successfully > RR182x: RAID5 write-back enabled > > da0 at hptmv0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 > da0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device > da0: 915735MB (1875425280 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 116739C) very nice...

The 64 Bit 3Ware cards *will* work in a 32bit slot. Another plus is that the 3Ware has a small http daemon that lets you monitor the condition of the array using a web browser. Also it can send you an email when the array gets into trouble. I'm fairly sure the hipoint doesn't offer these things. 3Ware's support of FreeBSD is exceptional IMHO. =20 Also when I was speaking with 3Ware about controllers they recommended the Western Digitial RE SATA (Raid Edition) Drives. I did buy them and am very happy with them. Good luck whatever you choose.

What debug options can I enable to get more information? -- Joe Rhett senior geek SVcolo : Silicon Valley Colocation From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Nov 30 18:22:34 2005 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 84E8F16A41F for ; Wed, 30 Nov 2005 18:22:34 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from etoll@vipstructures.com) Received: from rodan.vipstructures.com (rodan.vipstructures.com [66.195.71.71]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E803F43D49 for ; Wed, 30 Nov 2005 18:22:33 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from etoll@vipstructures.com) Received: from localhost (localhost.vipstructures.com [127.0.0.1]) by rodan.vipstructures.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 591EB1EE86E for ; Wed, 30 Nov 2005 13:22:33 -0500 (EST) X-Greylist: Passed host: 192.168.1.3 whitelisted Received: from mothra.vipstructures.com (mothra.vipstructures.com [192.168.1.3]) by rodan.vipstructures.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0297E1EE82F for ; Wed, 30 Nov 2005 13:22:32 -0500 (EST) X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft Exchange V6.5 Content-class: urn:content-classes:message MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2005 13:22:32 -0500 Message-ID: <9BC86C67C3AF7646B9C5382020457A949DD27F@VIP10-WIN2K> X-MS-Has-Attach: X-MS-TNEF-Correlator: Thread-Topic: what about highpoint 1640 SATA RAID controller ?

They (3Ware) did have all kinds of files/drivers/utils for FreeBSD even the 64 bit version -- which I'm running. I called techs at 3Ware and they actually talked to me about FreeBSD before I bought it and helped with recommendations. For me it doesn't get much warmer than that. =20 > I can't speak about any monitoring tools or management=20 > software, as I haven't looked into it, but for the way it is,=20 > it suits my needs just fine. >=20 Well - if you have RAID - then data is important. IMHO It is very useful to know when the array is in trouble. With the highpoint I guess you have to watch logs etcetera -- does the card have an audible alarm on it? Also for me it all goes back to the optimized XOR RAID engine that provides *true* hardware based RAID that you get when you buy a 3Ware. Can you rebuild an array in the controller BIOS screen? If the data is worth the extra $100 or $200 get the 3Ware - I paid $147.00 USD for the 2 port that I have..

The BIOS or the apci module? ACPI in FreeBSD.

Don't know. I avoid ACPI if possible :-). I suspect that FreeBSD can see ACPI tables but not all BIOS tables, so any soft disabling in the BIOS gets lost.

Don't know. I avoid ACPI if possible :-). I suspect that FreeBSD can see ACPI tables but not all BIOS tables, so any soft disabling in the BIOS gets lost.

What > debug options can I enable to get more information? No, it is reading it right. When you disable a device in ACPI it merely doesn't assign resources to it. The OS can assign resources to it on its own though and re-enable the device. FreeBSD currently doesn't implement enough to get that right though. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Dec 1 16:54:22 2005 Return-Path: X-Original-To: hardware@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3BEE316A41F; Thu, 1 Dec 2005 16:54:22 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from jhb@freebsd.org) Received: from speedfactory.net (mail6.speedfactory.net [66.23.216.219]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 575FE43D6A; Thu, 1 Dec 2005 16:54:16 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from jhb@freebsd.org) Received: from server.baldwin.cx (unverified [66.23.211.162]) by speedfactory.net (SurgeMail 3.5b3) with ESMTP id 2947421 for multiple; Thu, 01 Dec 2005 11:51:44 -0500 Received: from localhost (john@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by server.baldwin.cx (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id jB1GrXu4090409; Thu, 1 Dec 2005 11:53:40 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from jhb@freebsd.org) From: John Baldwin To: Joe Rhett Date: Thu, 1 Dec 2005 11:52:33 -0500 User-Agent: KMail/1.8.2 References: <20051117050336.GB67653@svcolo.com> <200511181347.20249.jhb@freebsd.org> <20051201090110.GA23495@svcolo.com> In-Reply-To: <20051201090110.GA23495@svcolo.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Message-Id: <200512011152.34391.jhb@freebsd.org> X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.8 required=4.2 tests=ALL_TRUSTED autolearn=failed version=3.0.2 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.0.2 (2004-11-16) on server.baldwin.cx X-Server: High Performance Mail Server - http://surgemail.com r=1653887525 Cc: hardware@freebsd.org, freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: com1 incorrectly associated with ttyd1, com2 with ttyd0 X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 01 Dec 2005 16:54:22 -0000 On Thursday 01 December 2005 04:01 am, Joe Rhett wrote: > > On Thursday 17 November 2005 06:58 pm, Bruce Evans wrote: > > > too, by applying the flags intended for the port at 0x3f8 (intended > > > unit 0) to the port that ends up as unit 0 (0x2f8 here). > > > > > > Console initialization uses the flags to decide the console port(s), > > > so swapped flags probably give swapped console ports. > > On Fri, Nov 18, 2005 at 01:47:18PM -0500, John Baldwin wrote: > > Yeah, that's what's happening. > > Okay, so how do we go about fixing it?

Well, my main warm and fuzzy is basically the price they charge, plus I've seen some issues come up on the lists that just made me think twice about spending the money. I do know they have had good support for FBSD for a while, but I've not seen the same kind of questions raised about the HPT stuff so far (and that could be just that they aren't used as widely as the 3Ware stuff, so less stress testers). > Well - if you have RAID - then data is important.

I do believe there is an audible alarm on the card, I've been installing and working with so many RAID cards lately, I can't remember the specifics about that one at the moment. I do know that I have other HPT cards that have alarms on them (in fact I had a RocketRaid 454 screaming at me last night for a failed array), so I would think that this one does, I just can't remember. > > Also for me it all goes back to the optimized XOR RAID > engine that provides *true* hardware based RAID that you get > when you buy a 3Ware.

If the data is worth the extra $100 > or $200 get the 3Ware - I paid $147.00 USD for the 2 port > that I have.. > Yeah, the HPT cards have their own BIOS which is where you construct/reinitialize/rebuild the arrays, etc. The "A" series does have a dedicated onboard XOR processor: "With an optimized XOR technique and advanced Intelligent Cache Algorithm powered by the HPT 601" They have the same card in a non "A" version, without the additional HPT 601 chip onboard, which effectively makes it a "soft" raid card. There is a windows management utility, though none that I know of offhand for FBSD (not saying it doesn't exist, but I haven't looked for or found one yet), which is I'm assuming similar to what you're talking about with the 3Ware utility. As for my data, it is not mission-critical in this particular scenario. I obviously don't want to lose an array, but if it happens, it's not a horrible thing. For this use, I need large amounts of storage (and this was the first test array, I'm planning on a much larger set of arrays forthcoming), as this particular installation is going to be the backend storage mechanism for video editing. Basically, I need to store the data from an editing project offline from the workstations for a period of up to 4 months, until the client comes back and releases the project as completed. At that point, the project data gets archived onto tape for a few months (just in case, people sometimes do change their minds), and then is wiped for good. If we lose an array, it just means if the clients come back for changes to their project, we'd have to reload the original data up and re-edit it again, which is slightly more than an inconvenience, but doable. With each project in the 40-60GB range, the storage requirements build up very quickly (3-6 projects per week on average, so 4 months of retention can build up to almost 5TB in the max scenario, very scary). Of course, if I was running something mission-critical, I would definitely consider a higher-end solution such as the 3Ware cards (or even SCSI-based if needed, and those cards can go through the roof pricewise), however, this fits my needs for this situation quite well. BTW - I do have an older 3Ware card, it's a 5xxx series, 8-port PATA with RAID-0 or RAID-1 capabilities which I'm planning on using for a file server, just haven't had time to set it up. I will definitely check out the card's abilities and the monitoring utilites, since you are obviously having good results with them already. Thanks for the input, this has been a great discussion so far. -Gary From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Dec 2 18:14:39 2005 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4398116A41F; Fri, 2 Dec 2005 18:14:39 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from dpz@ack.berkeley.edu) Received: from malcolm.berkeley.edu (malcolm.Berkeley.EDU [128.32.206.239]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1594243D55; Fri, 2 Dec 2005 18:14:35 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from dpz@ack.berkeley.edu) Received: from [169.229.201.11] (s2484-wlan-4.AirBears.Berkeley.EDU [169.229.201.11]) (authenticated bits=0) by malcolm.berkeley.edu (8.13.3/8.13.3) with ESMTP id jB2IEYUT061482 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=RC4-SHA bits=128 verify=NO); Fri, 2 Dec 2005 10:14:34 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dpz@ack.berkeley.edu) In-Reply-To: <200511142307.13229.jhb@freebsd.org> References: <200511102046.jAAKkxDE057999@fire.jhs.private> <200511141926.03382.jhb@freebsd.org> <200511142307.13229.jhb@freebsd.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v623) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Message-Id: Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: David Paul Zimmerman Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2005 09:56:50 -0800 To: John Baldwin X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.623) X-Greylist: Sender succeded SMTP AUTH authentication, not delayed by milter-greylist-1.6 (malcolm.berkeley.edu [128.32.206.239]); Fri, 02 Dec 2005 10:14:34 -0800 (PST) Cc: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: FreeBSD 5.4/6.0 on Virtual PC 7?

Finally got some time to work on this again. I tried both hw.pci.do_powerstate=0 and hw.pci.do_powerstate=1 on my 5.4 virtual system, no difference. (In fact, =0 appears to be the default.) I can't get 6.0 installed standalone right now to check what it thinks -- for the reasons of this thread -- but seems to be the same symptoms. dp From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Dec 2 18:39:02 2005 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2CD0616A41F for ; Fri, 2 Dec 2005 18:39:02 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from jhb@freebsd.org) Received: from speedfactory.net (mail6.speedfactory.net [66.23.216.219]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1D75843D5D for ; Fri, 2 Dec 2005 18:39:00 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from jhb@freebsd.org) Received: from server.baldwin.cx (unverified [66.23.211.162]) by speedfactory.net (SurgeMail 3.5b3) with ESMTP id 3022729 for multiple; Fri, 02 Dec 2005 13:36:55 -0500 Received: from localhost (john@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by server.baldwin.cx (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id jB2IcoU3004420; Fri, 2 Dec 2005 13:38:50 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from jhb@freebsd.org) From: John Baldwin To: David Paul Zimmerman Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2005 13:22:36 -0500 User-Agent: KMail/1.8.2 References: <200511102046.jAAKkxDE057999@fire.jhs.private> <200511142307.13229.jhb@freebsd.org> In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Message-Id: <200512021322.37139.jhb@freebsd.org> X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.8 required=4.2 tests=ALL_TRUSTED autolearn=failed version=3.0.2 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.0.2 (2004-11-16) on server.baldwin.cx X-Server: High Performance Mail Server - http://surgemail.com r=1653887525 Cc: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: FreeBSD 5.4/6.0 on Virtual PC 7?

Hmm, it might be something specific in the ata(4) driver as it has changed drastically between 4.x and 5.x and 6.x. You can try talking to sos@. He might need verbose dmesg's from both 4.11 and 6.0 to try to debug it further. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Dec 2 19:38:49 2005 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id DCA4216A41F; Fri, 2 Dec 2005 19:38:49 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from dpz@ack.berkeley.edu) Received: from malcolm.berkeley.edu (malcolm.Berkeley.EDU [128.32.206.239]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 71EC043D77; Fri, 2 Dec 2005 19:38:49 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from dpz@ack.berkeley.edu) Received: from [128.32.155.51] (soliloquy.Net.Berkeley.EDU [128.32.155.51]) (authenticated bits=0) by malcolm.berkeley.edu (8.13.3/8.13.3) with ESMTP id jB2JcnIo063905 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=RC4-SHA bits=128 verify=NO); Fri, 2 Dec 2005 11:38:49 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dpz@ack.berkeley.edu) In-Reply-To: <200512021322.37139.jhb@freebsd.org> References: <200511102046.jAAKkxDE057999@fire.jhs.private> <200511142307.13229.jhb@freebsd.org> <200512021322.37139.jhb@freebsd.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v623) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Message-Id: <4e098fc3ca923ded269393948d737677@ack.berkeley.edu> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: David Paul Zimmerman Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2005 11:38:56 -0800 To: John Baldwin X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.623) X-Greylist: Sender succeded SMTP AUTH authentication, not delayed by milter-greylist-1.6 (malcolm.berkeley.edu [128.32.206.239]); Fri, 02 Dec 2005 11:38:49 -0800 (PST) Cc: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: FreeBSD 5.4/6.0 on Virtual PC 7?
