* Hi again, * * sorry for "replying" to my own message, but now the possibility * of FreeBSD-2.2.1 to occupy this Big Box forever has grown to almost * 100%... if only I knew the way to get FreeBSD recognize 2 PCI busses. :(( * * HEEEELP!!!! :) I wonder if DavidG on the lists. * Now I can tell you what are the major (just biggest ones :) * chips on the backplane, all have "INTEL" on them: * * 1. PCIset S82374SB (I suspice that this chip is a clue..) * 2. PCIset S82375SB (gets recognized as 82375EB? EISA works anyway) I think the "823*B" chips are PCI-<something> bridges. The one I have says: chip1 <Intel 82371SB PCI-ISA bridge> rev 1 on pci0:1:0 chip2 <Intel 82371SB IDE interface> rev 0 on pci0:1:1 (It is only one chip.) * 3. A|M|I 9637LZR (chip is (c)1994 Intel, no idea what's it) * 4. XPC 637909-001 (no idea) * 5. XPD 637910-001 2 parts (no idea) Justin suggested the motherboard may have two host-PCI bridges, so maybe these are those. * Just now I'm trying to boot a GENERIC with the increased size * of vty' history buffer -- otherwise no way to catch * all the messages esp. with "-v", PCI ones fly away, * too many of them. Unfortunately, building a "true" * FreeBSD boot floppy isn't so trivial. :( So no success yet... Can you get it to a point that it can run "dmesg"? * I'm considering this, but I don't trust my own skills of * hacking pretty unfamiliar kernel code to get production * system running in 2-3 days... I still hope that there already is * a solution... Well, let's see if David can help you. Satoshi
