I wasn't terribly clear. I was referring to the PCI chip at bus 0,
slot 7 which handles the ISA bridging.. On some (newer, non-buggy)
miata GL's, its:
Bus 00 Slot 07: Cypress PCI Peripheral Controller
On the older miata's with the pyxis dma & other bugs, its:
Bus 00 Slot 07: Intel SIO 82378
Another tip is to make sure your firmware is up-to-date. I'm running
V6.7-250 Feb 19 1998 11:57:45 (from show version) on my old, buggy
miata. Yet another tip is to try cold-booting the machine.

Speaking of this, does anybody know how to recover a serial line on a
3.0-current/i386 host after a gdb remote attach times out? If I
fumble on setting the baud rate properly, or make some other screwup,
gdb leaves the line 'busy' & I cannot seem to get it back w/o
rebooting my destop machine (which is running a 3.0-current kernel
from sources cvsupped circa July 20th). This is both with the gdb
from Doug's directory on freefall & with one I built myself.
Nobody has the file open, tip, kermit, etc all fail to open it. There
are no lock files that I can find. A ktrace of tip trying to open it
looks like:
2406 tip CALL open(0x12030,0x2,0xa)
2406 tip NAMI "/dev/cuaa0"
2406 tip RET open -1 errno 16 Device busy
Thanks,
Drew
