Its not uncommon for him to drop support for something that seemed to work previously just because he can't get his "crappy" (to use Soren's own term) driver working! It seems that if he can't seem to figure out a particular piece of hardware, it becomes the hardware's problem, and he then refers to it as a "crappy chipset", or a "broken bios" (regardless of how many other drivers/os's seem to work just fine with the same hardware.). Meanwhile, the rest of the FreeBSD community seem to think he's doing a spectacular job and tell you that you don't have to use FreeBSD!! Don't even try to suggest a fix, or offer help debugging a problem. It seems that either his arrogance is far beyond accepting help, or he's genuinely afraid that the house of cards he calls a driver really will fall apart. I recommend that, if you ANY sata controller working with ANY release of FreeBSD, you stick with it. Even the ones that he claims work don't really perform that all that well under load. After several weeks of struggling with the sata controller on my tyan s2875s, i went out and bought a promise pci sata controller. It doesn't crash, but is doesn't run all that fast either. I wanted to stack the drives in a raid configuration to take advantage of their speed. Each drive is capable of 50-60 meg/second continuous. If i put two together, i get 80-90 when i add a third, i get 75!!! All the while, the cpu seems to spend an awful lot of time in the kernel (top tells me that system time is about 30%!!)!!! Oddly enough, "crappy" old XP doesn't seem to have a problem saturating the pci bus - with 3 drives I get 120. The fourth drive doesn't seem to add much more, which is what i would expect with pci/32. Additionally, the onboard SiI chip works fine with Windoze or Linux. The excuse here is that the people at Silicon Image don't provide enough information about their chips for Soren to create a good driver. Ok, maybe not, but i would have expected the VIA chip on the promise controller to work, since it's part of the supported hardware. What i didn't expect was that FreeBSD would perform so badly, but i guess i should have based on previous experience with the ata driver. So much of FreeBSD is so far ahead of anything it seems such a shame that so critical of a part be so poorly done. sorrry, just had to vent i suppose... ron.

Not sure your hardware knowledge levels so a brief explanation follows. The ICH controller built into most mainboards these days are *not* true hardware RAID controllers. They contain *very* basic 'stub' information with the windows driver doing the main work of controlling the device. There is enough logic to create the RAID entries and assign drives to them and even format them. However the *control* logic for normal operation is contained in the windows driver. We see this all the time since the PnP craze started. (Think back to 56K rockwell chipset modems which were hardware based and then to the HC? modems which were built into motherboards but flaked like crazy since they were windows driver controlled.) The ICH5 chipset is indeed supported under Linux, Windows, and FreeBSD. The problem is that the *chipset* can be accessed but the manufacturers rarely release the *full* specs to controller operations publicly which makes writing solid drivers for Unix systems next to impossible. These were designed with *Windows* in mind and it's IO subsystem which is both a strategic market move and aimed at mass market deployment. (Think mama and papa that have Jr. that needs a PC.) Having used, assisted development of, and developed certifications for, various closed and open sourced Unices for over 12 years now, this is something I've seen time and time again. And I have to refute your claim that the ICH5 works under linux. It's *BARELY* works under linux for the reasons I've stated above. Using Windows-intended hardware under any type of *nix is a crapshoot at best. -- David D.W.

Recently I've got PCM-5820 single board computer with Geode GX1-300 CPU. Mine is with 32M ram and 512M Compact Flash mapped to secondary IDE master. I have tried numerous times to install FreeBSD on it, but it hangs right after startup. I have tried 4.8, 5.2.1, and CURRENT, everything same :( I have also tried FreeSBIE LiveCD. If I boot it into single user mode, it is not dying. But during normal startup it is dying on 1st curses screen, right after selecting keyboard layout. Same with FreeBSD installation, dies right after "Probing devices, this can take a while... " dissapears. If I install FreeBSD to CF card on other PC and use this CF card to boot this machine, it will lockup 5-15 seconds after I login to it on the console. Any ideas how I can track down this problem? There are no panics, nothing, just a hardware lockup. I have tried tweaking all the avaible settings in BIOS. Windoze ME runs fine on it, even off Compact Flash card. For those who wants to see "the exterior": http://www.intercaf.ru/~lesha/server.jpg Cheers, AL. p.s.

In "generic_bcopy" in "i386/support.s" FreeBSD occasionally does a byte-aliged long rep move in the video buffer that locks the geode hard. See the patches at the following (it is a trivial patch): 63.249.85.132 63.249.85.132/geode.html 63.249.85.132/geode.html#patch_bcopy If you have no other means to fix this, there is an old 4.7 patched CD image at the above site that will boot on the Geode. I'm guilty of not submitting this as some sort of patch; it seemed a few years went by and there was no need/interest. The Soekris apparently never exercises this video code. I'll look at this again if I have time. The Geode II (and maybe other geode variants) supposedly don't have this problem, but I don't know... - bruce From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Sep 21 07:12:24 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 28C6516A4CE for ; Tue, 21 Sep 2004 07:12:24 +0000 (GMT) Received: from voruta.vu.lt (mail.vu.lt [193.219.80.13]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 30D6F43D1F for ; Tue, 21 Sep 2004 07:12:23 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from Dalius.Dobravolskas@mif.vu.lt) Received: from localhost (webmail.vu.lt [193.219.80.17]) by voruta.vu.lt (VU20031031) with ESMTP id i8L7BRgr022375 for ; Tue, 21 Sep 2004 10:11:27 +0300 (EEST) Received: from 84.32.69.76 ([84.32.69.76]) by webmail.vu.lt (IMP) with HTTP for ; Tue, 21 Sep 2004 10:11:23 +0300 Message-ID: <1095750683.414fd41bce51f@webmail.vu.lt> Date: Tue, 21 Sep 2004 10:11:23 +0300 From: Dalius.Dobravolskas@mif.vu.lt To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1257 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit User-Agent: Internet Messaging Program (IMP) 3.2.2 X-eShield-AntiVirus: Passed X-eShield-AntiVirus-Message: Scanned by http://www.bluecoat.com/eShield X-eShield-AntiVirus: Passed X-eShield-AntiVirus-Message: Scanned by http://www.bluecoat.com/eShield Subject: sound duplex X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 21 Sep 2004 07:12:24 -0000 Hello, I have some problems with sound full duplex.

I have a SK-9844 card which i'm trying to get running. Originally the system was running 5.2.1, and I tried using the sk driver, however got the error about no phy found. I then used the syskonnect yk driver and this worked fine. However I now need to run RELENG_5 due to issues I have with my raid card, and find that the syskonnect yk driver no longer works, so i'm exploring using the sk driver again (would also be nice to have both gig ports available too). With a recent cvs copy of the os i'm seeing the same issue with no phy found. some specs: if_sk.c 1.86 if_skreg.h 1.22 xmaciireg.h 1.3 card with yk driver on 5.2.1: yk0: port 0x9000-0x90ff mem 0xeb100000-0xeb103fff irq 10 at device 8.0 on pci0 card with sk driver: skc0: port 0x9000-0x90ff mem 0xeb100000-0xeb103fff irq 10 at device 8.0 on pci0 kernel: skc0: SysKonnect SK-NET Gigabit Ethernet Adapter SK-9844 SX dual link kernel: sk0: on skc0 kernel: sk0: Ethernet address: 00:00:5a:9a:84:c8 kernel: skc0: no PHY found! kernel: device_attach: sk0 attach returned 6 kernel: sk1: on skc0 kernel: sk1: Ethernet address: 00:00:5a:9a:84:c9 kernel: skc1: no PHY found! kernel: device_attach: sk1 attach returned 6 Thankyou for any suggestion on how to get this to work.

Cool. My father still has a 5.25" drive in production use - he has large numbers of 5.25 disks containing old work, and maybe once a year needs something off one of them. Works fine on his W2k box. > The operating system reports the drive > is available and definitely makes contact with the drive (visual > confirmation: LED).

Drive might be broken, disk might be broken, disk might not be formated, and finally make sure you know what kind of 5.25 both the drive and the disk are. 8088/86 machines stated off with single sided 8 sector one @160k, then double sided 8 sector (320k), then single sided 9 sector (180k), then double sided 9 sector (360k). That was the standard. AT machines (i.e. 286s and later 386s & 486s) used 1.2Mb 5.25" disks. These AT drives could read 360k PC disks (PC = 8086/88, BTW) but if you wrote to one there was a very good chance it would never be readable by a PC again, because the 1.2Mb AT drive had a read/write head 1/3 of the size of the 360Kb PC drive, and often the mark it left was too small to be read by larger PC heads. For that reason I always treated 360k disks as read-only media on 1.2Mb drives. As other people have said, /dev/fd0.1200 and /dev/fd0.360 look like you friends here. Personally I don't bother compiling fd stuff into the kernel any more. - -- W.

Remember that harddisk manufacturers use 1GB=10^9 = 1000000000 bytes (which is arguably the correct definition) while most OS's use 1GB = 2^30 = 1073741824 bytes. This probably accounts for the difference. So there is not really any problem, it is just that the gigabytes that the manufacturer claims the disk has are not the same size as the gigabytes that the OS claims to see. > > is there a way arounf it? > > some additional data are: > > model: IC35L060AVV207-0 > LBA: 120.103.200 sectors According to this the disk has 120103200 sectors, each of which is 512 bytes. This gives a total size of 61492838400 bytes. Divide this by 10^9 and you get 61.49 GB Divide it by 2^30 and you get 57.27 GB Those are probably the numbers you are getting, and if so everything should be OK. > CHS: 16383/16/63 > > i am using an ASUS CUL2 m/b > -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Sep 25 01:05:52 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 09C4116A4CE for ; Sat, 25 Sep 2004 01:05:52 +0000 (GMT) Received: from atari.saturn5.com (atari.saturn5.com [209.237.231.200]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with SMTP id E29A543D31 for ; Sat, 25 Sep 2004 01:05:51 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from davek@saturn5.com) Received: (qmail 3868 invoked by uid 479); 24 Sep 2004 18:05:51 -0700 Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2004 18:05:51 -0700 (PDT) From: David Nicholas Kayal X-X-Sender: davek@atari To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Subject: Looking for a good mother board.

That sort of hints that there's some issue with the cabling, as UDMA33 is the highest you can go on a 40wire IDE cable. Going beyond requires an 80wire cable (& no longer than 450mm/18" as I recall). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."

The memory banks have to have equal amounts of memory. I did this. Now in addition to the red power light, I get an LED indicator saying 4. Still no video of any sort. I currently have an old Radeon card installed. I put in an old card thinking that it would be more likely to be recognized. But not even SVGA. Is there a better choice for card? Something I can purchase off the shelf ? Thanks, Rob.

Still no video. However, the reset button causes a sequence of post messages that end up back at 0.4. Odd thing is that 0.4. is not on the list of valid post codes. Rob.

The DIMMs have to be inserted 1,3 or 2,4 or 1,2,3,4, which is what I have now. Each set of banks has got to be 64M + 64M = 128M in my particular case. Now I have bios screen, Win XP-64, and FreeBSD-64 to play with. Rob.
