Hello All,
I am happy to report an apparently successful install of OpenBSD 3.9 Release on
an HP Kayak XU 6/300 (Intel 440LX chipset, 2x Pentium II).
I am delighted to report that this is the first non-Windows OS I have used that
correctly reports and configures the on-board AD1816A audio subsystem straight
"out of the box" without any need for me to go digging around and hand-crafting
exoctic configurations.
**** This is a great result, so well done to the to the OpenBSD development
team. ****
As a consequence, I was very happy to pay up for a CD-ROM (which I received
from Wim Vandeputte [kd85.com] yesterday) and support the project.
As an aside, I wonder if anyone on this list can offer some insight into the
following dmesg warning:
"ahc0: Illegal cable configuration!!. Only two connectors on the adapter may be
used at a time!"
[Full dmesg posted below]
This isn't unique to OpenBSD: I've seen similar reports in the dmesg from SuSE
Linux using the 2.4.xx series kernels and also from FreeBSD version 6.
It doesn't appear to affect the machine in anyway that I can tell, e.g. there
are no unexpected hangs, slowdowns, disk problems, etc.
The AIC-7880 wide SCSI is connnected to a single disk but there are multiple
(unused) connectors on the ribbon cable which end in a terminator block.
The AIC-7860 narrow SCSI is connected to a single CD-RW drive. Again, there are
multiple (unused) connectors on the ribbon cable and this, too, ends in a
terminator block.
I have used multiple drives in the system and the same message appears.
It occurs to me that there might be some issue with the disk drive itself
providing SCSI termination, or some other jumper configuration error.
Alternatively, doe this message imply that I can only use either the AIC-7860
or the AIC-7880 but not both? I might try unplugging the CD-RW before booting
this evening.
