Hi! After running FBSD 2.1.x on our two HP Netserver LC for more than a year, I tried to upgrade them to 2.2.x. Initially, I had some problems with these machines, but got them to work with hints from this lists. In the FBSD Handbook, it is shown how to use the "eisa 12" command to get the onboard SCSI controller to work. The 2.1.6.1 kernel running for a year now was patched in the approbiate include file and was working flawlessly. To install 2.2-stable on our spare machine, I booted it with a 2.2.1-RELEASE CD in the drive. It came up, I booted with "boot: -c", selected the CLI editor, entered "eisa 12" and "quit" and it merrily started to boot the kernel. It recognized the controller ahc0: <Adaptec aic 7770 SCSI host adapter at 0xbc00-0xbcff IRQ 15> ahc0: on Eisa Slot 11 ... found the disks and other devices and continued to boot. However, after a few more lines it said: npx0: on Motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface apm0: disabled, not probed ahc0: Brkadrint, Illegal Host Access at seqaddr = 0x0 and hung. I tried to boot with a 2.2.2-RELEASE bootfloppy and got the same result... Any ideas how to get this machine up and running?
