During the installation, sysinstall came up, disks (RAID 1) were seen, partitioning/newfs went ahead, after copying the first distribution sets, the controller went hickup, and gave some timeouts/buffer related issues. (Sorry I didn't wrote them down, as I got only limited time with that box) The box is currently deployed with RedHat, and after some minutes compiling, it also crashes sometimes- Do we only have bad luck with flaky hardware, that is being transported too often and being badly shaken, oder are there some issues with perhaps firmware revisions etc?

If you want to use another serial port for whatever reasons, recompile the boot blocks, the boot loader and the kernel as follows. 1.. Get the kernel source. (See Chapter 19) 2.. Edit /etc/make.conf and set BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT to the address of the port you want to use (0x3F8, 0x2F8, 0x3E8 or 0x2E8). Only sio0 through sio3 (COM1 through COM4) can be used; multiport serial cards will not work. No interrupt setting is needed. 3.. Create a custom kernel configuration file and add appropriate flags for the serial port you want to use. For example, if you want to make sio1 (COM2) the console: device sio1 at isa? port IO_COM2 flags 0x10 irq 3 or device sio1 at isa? port IO_COM2 flags 0x30 irq 3 The console flags for the other serial ports should not be set. 4.. Recompile and install the boot blocks and the boot loader: # cd /sys/boot # make clean # make # make install 5.. Rebuild and install the kernel. 6.. Write the boot blocks to the boot disk with disklabel(8) and boot from the new kernel. So, set that to COMB and setup all the BIOS stuff to happen on COMB (note that the COMB and COM2 are the same thing - Intel had to confuse things just a tad more than they already are...) and you should be good to go! -Sam ----- Original Message ----- From: "Samuel Clements" To: "Samuel Clements" ; "Marc G.

Not sure where the previous post was CC'd to per se, but take a look here: http://www.watson.org/~robert/freebsd/portmaster25/ A couple of other comments: - Some Intel motherboards include BIOS revisions that have errors regarding the configuration, or at least, are incomprehensible. We had to futz for quite a long time to get it working for the netperf cluster. Unfortunately, I seem to have misplaced the instructions -- I can only advise trying counter-intuitive things. I think the problem was that the BIOS was referring to 1/2 and meant A/B, or said A/B and meant 1/2. - On some motherboards, the RTS/CTS seems to flip too frequently for the Portmaster 25, which detects this as a wiring problem. I had to turn off flow control on the port, set "hangup off". Otherwise, I saw the serial console disconnect a few seconds whenever the test started moving fast.

Your situations is quite favorable if compared with mine. When I insert my SMC ethernet card my system hangs :-( I forgot to test it with wireless card but I think result would be the same. So I disabled ACPI and everything works just fine ( except ACPI :-) ).

I have a Celeron 433 running in a MSI-6117 Motherboard (that's a Intel LX based board with a 66 MHz frontside-bus). Since the onboard-IDE controller can only handle hard-drives up to 8GB, I have a Promise PDC20262 UDMA66 controller plugged into a PCI-slot. There's currently a Maxtor 120GB hard-disk attached to it. In random intervals (sometimes a few minutes, sometimes a few hours) I get an error that looks like this: ad4: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=175339620 ad4: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=175351972 ad4: WARNING - WRITE_DMA interrupt was seen but timeout fired LBA=175339629 ad4: WARNING - WRITE_DMA interrupt was seen but taskque stalled LBA=175339620 - I tried several standard IDE cables and two different UDMA-66 cables. (It feels like the error occurred more often with the UDMA-66 cables, but it still occurs with standard IDE ones). - I tried putting the card in a different PCI-slot (No difference) - I tried several different hard-drives (The error also occurs with a UDMA-66 Maxtor 80 GB Hard-disk, but does not seem to occur with a 10GB Fujitsu hard-disk (UDMA-33 only). So I thought that the Maxtor-drives overheat, so I mounted one of them in an aluminium-frame and put in a small cooler. The interval before an error appears increased quite a lot. The overheating assumptions was also supported by my observations that the drive fails less often with a UDMA-33-cable (half of the frequency, half of the heat). Now the hard-drive is really cool, but the error isn't entirely gone. - I tried to update the IDE-card firmware, but it already has the most recent version installed This error (and especially the randomness) drives me nuts! I have really no idea what I can do now. Can anybody explain to me, what _exactly_ the error-message means? Or does anybody have an idea which options I have for further investigations?
