As far as I can tell, this is unrelated to newbus as the same actions would trigger this problem before and after newbus. I have been seeing this problem for many months (maybe years - but I've only recently identified a set of actions to reproduce it every time). The wierd thing is that I can do

Silo overflows and MAME can someone else reproduce this problem ??

This problem is easily reproducible. However to do so, you need a ROM image for an arcade game that the Multi Arcade Machine Emulator emulates as it wont do it without any roms in the directory "/usr/local/lib/mame/roms". I am using xmame installed from the ports collection (/usr/ports/emulators/

I have seen silo overflows on my serial port when I am using user mode ppp when using a PS/2 mouse and moused. Whilst downloading a large file I was able to cause multiple sio silo overflows by moving the mouse. I have stopped using moused since then (because of this) and can now download large f

I have been investigating the silo overflow situation for some time. I can trigger them every time by the following action: - Run M.A.M.E. (Multi arcade machine emulator) and then try to download something. (I am using user mode ppp). I believe that the sio driver is its own worst enemy in that

Re: swap-related problems

1999-04-17 Thread Matthew Thyer
There is obviously a problem when all swap is exhausted. The only solution is to allow the additional memory *use* to succeed AND to warn the sysadmin that ALL virtual memory has been exhausted. The only way to do this is to be able to allocate extra virtual memory. I'd vote for a system that wou

I've found that I need to disable my secondary IDE controller with the version 5 and 6 of the new ATAPI drivers. It's probably something to do with Ultra DMA support as I have an Ultra DMA 6.48 GB IBM drive on my IDE controller 0 (master) and a Ultra DMA Mitsubishi 32 spin CD-ROM drive as slave on

Re: RealTek driver woes

1999-03-30 Thread Matthew Thyer
There are certain RealTek chipsets that perform very badly in both Windows and FreeBSD in my experience. This is due to poor hardware design as far as the FreeBSD driver author could see. Replace your network card with a $30 PCI 10/100 card that is not a RealTek such as the VIA Technologies VT304
