Chipset: Intel 82371EB Intel 82443BX Amibios FreeBSD 2.2.6 I have a reliably running 2.2.6 system which I am trying to upgrade from an ASUS P55T2P4 Motherboard / Pentium 200, to any board which will accept a 400MHZ + processor , with an equal ( or greater ? ) number of ISA / PCI Slots. One of the hardware restrictions I am presented with ( for the time being anyway ) is that the boards to be considered must be AT form factor. The board I am currently testing is a TYAN S1830 Tsunami AT Board. This behemoth of PC real - estate has 3 ISA slots , 3 PCI slots , 1 shared ISA / PCI slot , AGP , and the standard onboard COM , LPT and IDE controller stuff. Because we boot SCSI , and there is no on-board SCSI bios as there is with the ASUS board , we use an NCR based card with an on-board SCSI bios instead. At vaious stages, we remove all of our other non - essential cards except for the S3 based video card , for testing purposes. With a standard FreeBSD 2.2.6 "everything on the disk" canned installation , the TYAN board appears to boot fine and Chuckie comes up grinning ( figuretively speaking ) as always. So here's the problem : The dmesg output shown below leads me to believe that there are no probelms probing sio0 and sio1. However , once the system is up and running, any tests of the on-board serial ports fail. My simplest port test is to connect a verified properly working rodent-of-choice to the port being tested , then `cat` the port (cuaaX ) to the terminal while spinning the trackball. Success yields funny looking characters ( rodent - speak for hi - bits set I think ) - failure yields no output. Different port speeds are tried , and even the BIOS settings are confirmed to be ( apparently ) correct. Various other plug - in hardware ( such as de0 ethernet driver) work fine (thats how I got the dmesg output off of the machine eventually.) My question is this: aside from the not - too - far fetched conclusion that I've overlooked something, has anyone successfully made all of the on -board hardware work on this board work with any release ( Or has anyone else given up on this board )? A recent search of the archives yields no direct mention of this model number. I'd like to presume a singular hardware failure on this board, but I'd hate to have cash tied up in 2 of them if this model number board is really a boat - anchor.
