The following reply was made to PR kern/40895; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Jin Guojun [NCS]" <j_guojun@lbl.gov> To: "P. Jourdan" <pippo@videotron.ca>, FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: kern/40895: wierd kernel / device driver bug [was: Tekram DC390U3w] Date: Sat, 27 Jul 2002 18:13:09 -0700 The problem is driver related. Either the motherboard/DC-390u3w combination cause PCI configuration information changed, or the SYM driver is less capable to deal with PCI-X. Here is more information: Moved DC-390U3W to a 400MHz AMD-III (ASUS P5A) motherboard, it works, but still get some errors during the PCI probe -- (32-bit PCI) sym0: <1010-33> port 0xd800-0xd8ff mem 0xd7000000-0xd7001fff,0xd7800000-0xd78003ff irq 10 at device 11.0 on pci0 sym0: Symbios NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-80, LVD, parity checking sym0: open drain IRQ line driver, using on-chip SRAM sym0: using LOAD/STORE-based firmware. sym0: handling phase mismatch from SCRIPTS. sym1: <1010-33> port 0xd400-0xd4ff mem 0xd6000000-0xd6001fff,0xd6800000-0xd68003ff irq 10 at device 11.1 on pci0 sym1: Symbios NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-80, SE, parity checking sym1: open drain IRQ line driver, using on-chip SRAM sym1: using LOAD/STORE-based firmware. sym1: handling phase mismatch from SCRIPTS. ... Waiting 6 seconds for SCSI devices to settle (noperiph:sym0:0:-1:-1): SCSI BUS reset delivered. (noperiph:sym1:0:-1:-1): SCSI BUS reset delivered. Moved DC-390U3W to TYAN S2466 motherboard. Put is on 64-bit PCI slot, it has the same problem as it is on the SuperMicro P4DPE (PCI-X bus) The errors is in the original message (below). Put it on 32-bit PCI, I got the same error message as on ASUS P5A M/B, but after SCSI BUS reset, the system hangs. All above are tested under 4.5-RELEASE. Moved DC-390U3W to ASUS P2B with 450MHz PIII, tried to install 4.6, after -- Waiting 6 seconds for SCSI devices to settle system panic. Tried install win98 and dos on this hardware, they all worked. I will try to install 4.6 first and test DC-390U3w on this machine. So far, we know the hardware (DC-390U3W) is OK and it works under certain hardware condition with FreeBSD. Probably the driver needs to be upgraded for new PCI bus. Would some one point me the DC-390U development kit or document so I can look into this issue? Thanks, -Jin "P.
