We have an on-going project, which involves the fulfillment of Dell platforms using FreeBSD 4.1. We need assistance with writing device drivers required for Dell platforms. We would be able to give the specs to these platforms and specify which drivers will be used and which ones need code. Any information you have on this subject would be of great help.

When the driver actually starts doing any work, it kicks out loads and loads of kernel syslog messages containing just "NMI ISA 30, EISA ff", there is another guy on the Asterisk-BSD mailing list that has this problem, but no-one is any the wiser on it. I have been sat going through the source code for the Zaptel driver all afternoon, and I don't think the message is coming from there. Anyone seen this before or point to the right place in the Kernel where these messages could be generating from. it only starts to do it, when the E1 line starts putting down traffic, loading unloading and general init, it doesn't do it. Anyone got any thoughts on this?

The message is from the isa_nmi() function in sys/i386/isa/nmi.c. What is happening is that yuor machine is raising an NMI (normally used to indicate hardware errors like ECC failures, etc.). Perhaps the card is asserting PERR# or SERR#? I'm not sure if those would trigger an NMI or not though, it might depend on the chipset. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
