I have an AlphaPC164 system that I've been trying to run FreeBSD 4.0 release candidate on. My system originally had a Tekram DC-390F UW SCSI controller, a DEC 500 10/100 Ethernet card, a SB-16 ISA card and a ELSA Gloria Synergy video card. Because of bugs in the FreeBSD symbios controller that are in the release candidate CD, but have been fixed -- I've been told + the fact that OpenVMS won't run with the Tekram card, I found an unused DEC SCSI/Ethernet combo card and added this to the machine and moved my SCSI CD and disk to this card. The card has 2 Qlogic 1020 chips on it and 2 internal 68 pin connectors. It also has a 10MB ethernet port and was, I think, in an AlphaStation 600 5/266 box. The SRM console sees these controllers and attached devices. Tru64 5.0 UNIX, OpenVMS and NetBSD/alpha 1.4.1 will install and run with this card. I have the disk on one channel and the CD-ROM on another channel. Linux, which was already installed on an IDE disk also sees the controllers and devices and I've used the SCSI cdrom from Linux on this controller -- made my NetBSD/alpha boot floppy that way. FreeBSD 4.0 release candidate crashes almost immediately with a UNEXPECTED MACHINE CHECK error and panic when I try to boot from this card and it then reboots to the same point over and over. The machine check seems to occur as the kernel is booting right after it identifies the second channel -- I can see that isp0 is a Qlogic 1020/1040 at IRQ 7 and that isp1 is at IRQ 11 and then I get the machine check and panic. I do still have the Tekram controller (with no devices) and the DEC 500 10/100 ethernet card still in, but this does not bother Linux, Tru64, OpenVMS and NetBSD. Anyone know why this is happening ? It also happened when I had FreeBSD/alpha 3.3 on the system. Dirk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
