I was under the impression that if I tell my bios that I do *not* have a pnp os, it will do pnp for me, but since freebsd *is* pnp capable, I should switch it off. So you see, one can't be too carefull making assumptions.

No, it's a resource allocation issue.

I'm assuming that you've got :an IDE CDROM.....if not you'll need to take a real good look at your SCSI :controller's bios and the MB boot order. Let me state, once again, since people seem to have missed it: This machine is already successfully running Windows98 and Windows NT. NT's boot cd worked. Win98's boot cd failed in the exact same manner FreeBSD's does, so I used a Win98 install floppy. Niether the FreeBSD 4.1.1-R cdrom, nor a boot floppy from that release will boot. Yes, I tested them on another machine to make sure they work. As I stated in my initial post, all drives except the LS-120 are SCSI. No, the motherboard does not have an option to turn the floppy controller off. It does allow me to tell it there are no floppy drives, which I of course have done. I am using a single 256M 3.3v unbufferred PC-133 DIMM in DIMM slot 1.

Just adding the device to the kernel and rebuilding should do it. Actually, you probably have a working module in /modules so a simple "kldload if_sk" should do it. Adding the following line to your /boot/loader.conf file should cause this to be loaded at boot (at least, I think it will, I took the line from a -current system.): if_sk_load="YES" No MAKEDEV is needed since sk, like most network interfaces doesn't have an entry in /dev. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Okay, I have successfully booted from CDROM on this machine. Let me give a quick recap of the hardware, and the necessary steps. HW Overview: Motherboard: Asus K7V Processor: Athlon/850 Memory: 256M PC-133 3.3v unbuffered Floppy: LS-120 UHD floppy on IDE SCSI: Adaptec 2940 UW HDD: IBM 4.3G UW SCSI, Seagate 4.0G U SCSI CDROM: Plextor UltraPlex, UltraPlex 40max, PlexWriter 8/20 Tape: Archive Python DDS2 4mm SCSI The big problem is how Adaptec remaps the CDROM drive over A: in the bios for bootable CDs. What I did was as follows: Set Floppy A in BIOS on motherboard to 1.44MB floppy (was set to none) Set halt on errors to None (was set to all) Set first boot device to Legacy Floppy (was set to LS-120) I turned bootable CDs to enabled on the SCSI controller, and insterted bootable CDROM drive. The machine will now boot from the CDROM. I'm still unsure as to why the FreeBSD boot floppy won't boot from the LS-120 drive. The kernel detected it just fine booting from the CD. The above steps would likely allow me to boot the Windows98 CD that failed in the same manner as the FreeBSD one previously. I'm curious as to why the SCSI controller's mapping of its CDROM drive to A: in the BIOS doesn't work with the LS-120 (since the mobo BIOS assigns it A: prior to the scsi bios being loaded). That is outside of the scope of the FreeBSD project. Thanks to all for the various suggestions. I look forward to seeing just how fast FreeBSD is on this machine.

If you potentially use jumbo frame, all 1000Base-SX PCI card can have similar throughput (to maximum speed). But, NetGear is almost a half price of the SysKonnect. For standard 1500 MTU, SysKonnect can go 900Mbps, and NetGear goes about 650Mbps. Remember that a 64-bit PCI slot is required. On 32-bit PCI system, SysKonnect can have 600Mbps throughput if the memory bandwidth is at least 200 MBps, and NetGear goes probably the maximum at 340Mbps regardless the maximum memory bandwidth (of couse, the minimum memory bandwidth must be at least 100 MBps). -Jin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Mon Oct 16 20:51:30 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from web1906.mail.yahoo.com (web1906.mail.yahoo.com [128.11.23.67]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id B09E137B4C5 for ; Mon, 16 Oct 2000 20:51:27 -0700 (PDT) Received: (qmail 4395 invoked by uid 60001); 17 Oct 2000 03:51:27 -0000 Message-ID: <20001017035127.4394.qmail@web1906.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [65.0.211.47] by web1906.mail.yahoo.com; Mon, 16 Oct 2000 20:51:27 PDT Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2000 20:51:27 -0700 (PDT) From: tbone Subject: Install Probs: /dev/card0 on a desktop?

I get this error in the vty1 console (Alt+F2) while trying to install: DEBUG: Can't open PC-card controller /dev/card0 I see this even after I disable a PC-card controller shown in UserConfig. I don't have a laptop, so I assume I don't have a PCMCIA bus controller, so I have no idea why card0 would be mentioned. A detailed description of my problem is attached below.

Please help! -Ted tbonemp3@yahoo.com -- Detailed Description -- I'm trying to install FreeBSD on an old Packard Bell 120MHz PC with: * a Maxtor 52049H4 20GB HD, and * a Mitsumi CR-2801TE CD-ROM/CD-R drive I'm pretty sure these are compatible (the HD is EIDE, the CD drive is ATAPI compatible). I'm running into a confusing problem over and over again. Here's a detailed description of what happens: 1) I boot El Torito (via CD-ROM) to the first FreeBSD installation screen 2) I select the Visual Mode installation. 3) The next screen shows 8 Network-card related conficts. I disable the network devices to disolve the conflicts. 4) I disable the PC-card controller, since I don't have a PCMCIA slot on my desktop. 5) I save and move onto the sysinstall menu. 6) I select Standard installation 7) In the FDISK Partition Editor, I allocate my non-DOS disk space to FreeBSD. 8) I dedicate my disk usage as follows: 100MB for / 256MB for SWAP (rest) for /usr 9) I choose to install All distributions 10) I choose my CDROM as the media 11) The filesystem is created successfully 12) I choose to install All system sources, binaries, and X Windows 13) I instantly get this error on my screen: Installation completed with some errors. You may wish to scroll through the debugging messages on VTY1 with the scroll-lock feature. You can also choose "No" at the next prompt and go back into the installation menus to try and retry whichever operations have failed. I toggle the scroll-lock and page through the messages on both VTY0 and VTY1 and find only the: DEBUG: Can't open PC-card controller /dev/card0 error message. What should I be looking for?

Yeah, and if you do rack them by just the rack ears, they'll sag until the ears tear off... Had that happen, not particularly impressive. The mounting them on a shelf is right on the ball, you can actually rack mount the front ears, but put a shelf on the back side to support the weight. They also have a lot of problems with the Onboard SCSI controllers and the DIMM module controlers. I've had at least 2-3 of the DIMM controllers die on the boards, and I've had 2 DOA SCSI controllers, and 3 that failed in use. I'll never buy those boxes again, you can get much better boxes from BSDi or some other reputable vendor.

Performing #dump -0uc -d 67733 -f /dev/rwst0 / causes the following to be output by dump: [...first portion skipped, it looks like normal dump work...] DUMP: DUMP: 25933 tape blocks on 1 volume DUMP: finished in 68 seconds, throughput 381Kbytes/sec DUMP: level 0 dump on Wed Oct 11 16:51:37 2000 DUMP: closing /dev/rwst0 On this stage, IDE controller hangs.

The workaround is to create dump on filesystem like #dump -0uc -d /usr2/dump / and then copy it to tape with cpio #echo "/usr2/dump" | cpio -o -F /dev/rwst0 -C 32768 Does anybody know what is the difference between dump and cpio in their work with tape writer /dev/rwst0 ? -- Best regards, Alexey mailto:avn@any.ru PS.

I also get panics if I leave the adapter plugged in when I shutdown, but I don't know whether that's fixed in a later update or not. -- Jon Hamilton hamilton@pobox.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Thu Oct 19 7:32:56 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mailhub1.rjf.com (mailhub1.rjf.com [170.12.128.128]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0CA4037B4CF; Thu, 19 Oct 2000 07:32:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: from exmta5.rjf.com by mailhub1.rjf.com with ESMTP; Thu, 19 Oct 2000 10:31:02 -0400 Received: by exmta5.rjf.com with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2650.21) id <4W799BCP>; Thu, 19 Oct 2000 10:32:48 -0400 Message-Id: <6D5097D4B56AD31190D50008C7B1579BC97C67@exlan5.rjf.com> From: Ian Cartwright To: "FreeBSD Questions (E-mail)" , "'freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org'" Subject: Intel Etherexpress Timeouts Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2000 10:32:37 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2650.21) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello all, I recently installed FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE on a new Compaq Deskpro EN. It has an Intel Etherexpress Pro 100 built into the motherboard. After compiling a new kernel (-STABLE) for it, the NIC is detected. I do have one problem with the NIC though: I keep getting timeout errors. Sometimes the NIC comes back, sometimes I have to reboot... I have included output from dmesg. Any help would be appreciated... Ian Cartwright Senior Network Engineer Raymond James & Associates icartwright@it.rjf.com dmesg output follows: Copyright (c) 1992-2000 The FreeBSD Project.

Then what is your next question ? The important point is that -- For standard 1500 MTU, if you want to have GigE adapters able to reach their maximum throughput, you must to use a 64-bit PCI slot. It does not mean that a 64-bit PCI slot is required for a adapter. It is required for the maximum throughput :-) -Jin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
