Well, it has been a long time since I have needed to write an email with that tagline. Our primary NFS server had been up for almost 2 months with no panics. We did need to reboot it for a network change, but it was up for 28 days at that point. Anyway here are the details: dev = 0x20014,

Tulip device driver question

I have been writing a nasty kludge to treat a CardBus bridge as a standard PCI bridge (with static config) you may start throwing rocks now. I have it to the point where I can (after the system is booted) 'pciconf -r pci5:0:0 0' and get scan information (neat, huh :). Welll, I thought it would

CDROM boot on a ThinkPad 600E...

1999-08-19 Thread David E. Cross
I have been attempting to track down why cdrom boots will not work with /boot/loader, but do just fine with the boot-block. I have come to the following wild speculation, and stab in the dark. /boot/loader uses some int13 stuff, which I found while reading in the boot0inst man page may cause

I am trying to write a very kludgey/monolithic driver for a CardBus ethernet adapter. I have run into a bit of a stumbling block on some issues. One such issue is the attach (I need to map some registers of the adapter into memory space so I can read/write values.). Anyway if someone could

I am attempting to get FreeBSD 3.2 and/or 4.0 to go on a TP 360c. The problem I am having is that the keyboard works all the way up to sysinstall. I can use the keyboard in the visual kernel config/etc. I searched and found under 2.2 they suggested setting flags 0x10 on syscons. 0x10

You are quite right that the code in question was just moved from sc to atkbd and there is essentially no difference between the two versions. This is the first time that I hear the flag 0x10 for sc works in 2.X, but the flag 0x4 for atkbd does not in 3.1 or later :-( I think I heard
