You can't boot from just any partition on the alpha. The firmware only looks at the first sector of the disk to decide how to boot. What you could do is copy the contents of the file boot.flp to the start of a spare drive using dd and then try booting from that. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.

This machine has an Intel 82375EB PCI-EISA bridge (with no actual slots), behind which sit the integrated ISA peripherials and an MSS card in a tiny little non-standard slot. According to the ECU, the MSS board uses the following resources: ports: 0x530-0x537, 0x388-0x38b DMA channels: 0 & 1 IRQ: 2(9) Edge-triggered I've added PCM to my kernel config file like this: device pcm0 at isa? port ? irq 9 drq 0 flags 0x11 The pcm driver probes OK, but fails to attach because the resource_list_find() in isa_alloc_resource() at around line 195 of alpha/isa/isa.c comes up null when attempting to alloc the first DMA channel. I hacked dev/pcm/isa/mss.c to ask for dma channel 0 like this: mss->drq1 = bus_alloc_resource(dev, SYS_RES_DRQ, &mss->drq1_rid,0, 0,1, RF_ACTIVE); This at least allows the pcm driver to attach. However, when I attempt to play an mp3, amp gets stuck in pcmwr & I never see any interrupts on irq9. For what its worth, this is what its attaching as: pcm0: at port 0x530-0x537,0x538-0x539 irq 9 flags 0xa211 on isa0 pcm0: interrupting at ISA irq 9 If I leave the source alone & tell the ECU that the card should use dma channel 3 & tell FreeBSD the same thing, I get the same results. There are jumpers on the card, but I have no idea what they do. I cannot find any documentation on this. I was wondering if anybody might have any suggestons..?

Oh my, you have a Jensen, and right, SRM for some wierd reason can't boot from a floppy on that thing, so you have to jump through some hoops to load a kernel. However, NetBSD didn't (and doesn't) support the Jensen, so there was no platform-specific code for FreeBSD to import... I've recently built a Jensen from random parts, however, so I hope to fix this (at least for NetBSD) soon. ross.harvey@computer.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-alpha Mon Sep 13 19:55:45 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-alpha@freebsd.org Received: from duke.cs.duke.edu (duke.cs.duke.edu [152.3.140.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9C28114CE8 for ; Mon, 13 Sep 1999 19:55:43 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from gallatin@cs.duke.edu) Received: from grasshopper.cs.duke.edu (grasshopper.cs.duke.edu [152.3.145.30]) by duke.cs.duke.edu (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id WAA14291; Mon, 13 Sep 1999 22:55:41 -0400 (EDT) Received: (from gallatin@localhost) by grasshopper.cs.duke.edu (8.9.3/8.9.1) id WAA14940; Mon, 13 Sep 1999 22:55:11 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from gallatin@cs.duke.edu) From: Andrew Gallatin MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Date: Mon, 13 Sep 1999 22:55:10 -0400 (EDT) To: "John Howie" Cc: freebsd-alpha@freebsd.org Subject: Re: sound on AS500 In-Reply-To: <00a301befe4f$b2145120$fd01a8c0@pacbell.net> References: <14300.31539.575040.42521@grasshopper.cs.duke.edu> <00a301befe4f$b2145120$fd01a8c0@pacbell.net> X-Mailer: VM 6.43 under 20.4 "Emerald" XEmacs Lucid Message-ID: <14301.46994.345529.223212@grasshopper.cs.duke.edu> Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org John Howie writes: > Andrew, > > I tried, unsuccessfully, as well.

The 3.x -stable kernel doesn't support *ISA* DMA, PCI DMA works just fine ;-) The 4.x -current kernel (what I'm using) supports ISA DMA given newbus isa drivers which can use it, such as the PCM driver & the floppy driver. In fact, after Doug wrote the S/G DMA support for the cia/pyxis chipsets, I implemented it on the other workstation chipsets (tsunami, apecs & lca).

I looked at an identical AlphaStation today which is running NT. Its ECU also reports that its mss card is at the settings above, but NT itself claims that the board is at port 0x530, dma 1, irq 11, & it claims that dual DMA is off. (The sound actually works on NT) I changed the FreeBSD settings to match & I now see a happy: pcm0: at port 0x530-0x537,0x538-0x539 irq 11 drq 1 flags 0xa200 on isa0 However, amp still does not work (this time the playing subprocess is stuck in select). I can still cat a .au file to /dev/audio (and hear nothing). Still no interrupts reported for the card's irq. If I manually call the mss_intr function out of ddb, it tells me 'mss_intr: irq, but not from mss', so it apparently isn't an irq routing problem. Any ideas?

It seems that at least one place in the kernel is not using the atomic_* macros for updating VM counters and flags. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.

I hope you are not trying to imply that we can't write our own platform-specific code... Anyway, Ross is correct. We don't support the Jensen and currently I have no plans to support it since I am unlikely to ever get access to the hardware. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.

How do I get it to boot > normally? [first, please break your message into <80 column lines. This is a Unix mailing list, please do not depend on something else to do it for you.] There is a NetBSD document that covers this nicely: How do I get it to (not to) automatically boot multi-user? (top) There are two non-volatile SRM environment variables that affect the automatically initiated console actions. BOOT_OSFLAGS If set to A or a, BSD will automatically proceed from single-user to multi-user state. This can be overwritten with the -fl option to the console boot command. This is for compatability with Digital Unix. AUTO_ACTION This tells SRM what to do when it gets control. Your choices here are BOOT or HALT. The HALT case gets you the >>> prompt. BOOTDEF_DEV This tells SRM which device to boot from. show config can show you what your choices are. To tell it to boot from floppy, for example, you would say set bootdef_dev dva0. Examples: >>> set boot_osflags a >>> set auto_action boot >>> set bootdef_dev dka0 >>> boot -fl a -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-alpha Sat Sep 18 12: 9:32 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-alpha@freebsd.org Received: from mail.cybcon.com (mail.cybcon.com [216.190.188.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2619914D79; Sat, 18 Sep 1999 12:09:28 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from wwoods@cybcon.com) Received: from freebsd.cybcon.com (william@pm3a-15.cybcon.com [205.147.75.144]) by mail.cybcon.com (8.9.0/8.9.0) with ESMTP id MAA27217; Sat, 18 Sep 1999 12:09:20 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.3.1 [p0] on FreeBSD X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: <19990918115008.A22847@dragon.nuxi.com> Date: Sat, 18 Sep 1999 12:08:17 -0700 (PDT) Reply-To: wwoods@cybcon.com From: William Woods To: "David O'Brien" Subject: Re: Booting DEC Alpha after install....
