5.0-20000917 Snapshot and Gericom Notebook - bad crash

2000-09-20 Thread Oliver Schonefeld

Hello freebsd-current!

The loader or the kernel crashed badly on my Gericom Overdose II notebook.

I was trying to boot from the bootdisk-set. The mfsroot image is successfuly
loaded and the "bootcountdown" ist displayed.

After that it looks like there are some cpu-registers dumped.
unfortunalty everything scrolls too fast, i cannot really read anything.

It any aditional information is needed, please contact me.

Regards,
Oliver

 Same here. Last night was okay. It started about 5 days ago. If you just
 start over it usually finishes okay. 

Same thing here, but much earlier. It seemed that TCP/IP ist (was?) broken
on my machine. Downgraded to -STABLE, machine worked fine, up to -STABLE of
last monday. I have the feeling, something in the delayed checksum
calculations broke TCP/IP.
unfortunalty i crashed the machine last night and still have recovery work
to do, so i have no idea, if the bugs have been gone since the last commit
of the vx driver.

Btw ... not just cvsup showed strange behavior. Everthing dealing with
TCP/IP seemed broken. 60% packet loss on ethernet is more than strange. But
it seemed nobody else ws having this problem ...

kind of looks like a problem in the delayed checksum calculation.
while having a cvsup running and doing some nfs testing with a linux box
pinging killed the -stable machine. (no flood pinging, just a normal ping)
also nfs to the linux box was just beyond beeing awefully slow ...

Serious Network Troubles (with vx driver?)

2000-04-19 Thread Oliver Schonefeld

i recently updated my -current system from -current as of about mid-march to
lest sundays's -current (jep, from 4.0 to 5.0) due to the work done to the
ida driver.
well, the ida driver seems to work, but the network hast complety stopped
working.
with sunday's -current, after about 2-5 minutes uptime i want not able to
even ping machines on my local network. i cvsu'ed to tuesday's -current and
pinging of machines some how worked. but resolving of hostname does not work
properly. i added "options debug" to my /etc/resolv.conf and i get a lot of
"server timeout" messages. after 3-6 failures i get an anwser. i know for
sure, that the name servers are ok and i can also ping them, so it must have
to do with my system.
well, also all tcp/ip connections fail. cvsup failes with a connection
timeout and connecting with ssh fails also with the same message.
netstat -i shows nothing unusual (no tx/rx errors) and netstat -a shows just
an "ESTABLISHED" and the rx/tq queues are empty.
i have the bad feeling something is broke with the vx driver, since no one
else is having such problems. 
any suggestions? any ideas?

the machine is a compaq prosignia 486 _eisa only_, the boards are 3com 3c597
eisa. the machine worked very well and stable under 4.0 -current.
northing unusual is shown, when booting the 5.0 -current kernel and all
hardware is detected normally. unfortunalty i am not having a dmesg output
here, since i am not home.
i am currently building world cvsup'ed as of 7:20 GMT+1 and will see, what
happens but i have the bad feeling my network will still be broken ...

oliver

Re: cvs commit: src/sys/dev/ida ida_eisa.c

2000-04-17 Thread Oliver Schonefeld

hello!

all right ... things take longer then we expect them to take.

the kernel (everything cvsup'd on saturday) boot fine and the array
controller is detected just perfect. also fdisk'ing, disklabel'ing and
newfs'ing the drive was no problem. i copied almost the whole current source
tree on the drive ... no problem. even a simulated diskfail was no problem.
but it looks like the driver is taking much system time. while coping the
files a hat a system load of almost 40%, irq and user was much less.

i then i ran into bog trouble. it seems that the something the the network
drivers is broken ... but that has propably not much to do with the ida
driver ...

again, no success. the driver counts down the timeout with the same result
as before.
stragne thing, after i applied you first patch (setting the other io-adress)
the machine would not reboot after the panic.
a "call boot()" would also hang the machine. i had to hard-reset that thing.

that's all i can observe right now. if you need more informations, please

[some more, but i think, that was the importtant part, since the adaptec
board ist probed and initialized correclty]

unfortunaly no core dump available.

information on machine:
compaq prosignia 486 w/pentium overdrive (bios version as from 09/25/97)
os set to "UNIX/XENIX"
1x compaq smart array controller (firmware revision 2.26)
   os set to "UNIX/XENIX"
   one logical volume:
  2x quantum fireball 1.08GB (drive mirroring)
   setup via compaq system configuration utility (did i miss something?)
1x adaptec 1740
1x adaptec 2742 (floppy controller disabled)
2x 3com 3c597 NICs

without the driver the machine runs just rock solid (lacking a raid, of
course). so something must be wrong, when probing for the controller.
any ideas?
if more information is needed, i will try to provide them,

obviosly the ifq_maxlen is not set in the eisa nor in the pci version in the

actually, to set this, would be one line in the driver, but unfrotunatly i
am not that familiar with the hardware, and do not know, which value this

2000-01-01 Thread Oliver Schonefeld

  i wonder what is happening to the ida driver for comapq's smart array
  controller series.
 
 Work on this driver is stalled owing to the fact that nobody that can and 
 wants to work on it has access to the Compaq hardware required.  You 
 can't use these controllers except in Compaq systems, which makes things 
 very difficult.
that's true :-(

 If someone has a complete system featuring one or more of these 
 controllers (a mixed PCI/EISA system would be best), there are several 
 people that could put it to good use.
well, as you meight have guesses, i own one of these nice little compaq
servers. unfortunatly it is an eisa-only version.
the good thing is i own two compaq smart array controllers (right now, one
is in the machine) and the computer is accessible via internet.
for people willing to develop the drivers, i offer access to this machine
since i doubt there are any developters living in my town and sending the
server to the states is no option.

ida driver in -current and eisa bus attachment

1999-12-31 Thread Oliver Schonefeld

i wonder what is happening to the ida driver for comapq's smart array
controller series.
people say the pci version works but the eisa version is not.
in the ida.c file is says:

 * Specific probe routines are in:
 *  pci/ida_pci.c   
 *  i386/eisa/ida_eisa.c

but unfortunatly the ida_eisa.c file seems to be missing in the source tree
(i just cvsuped the whole thing).
i did some research at deja and found out, that matthew dodd wrote the eisa
bus attachment and it is downloadabe on his ftp site.
unfortunatly (again) the eisa_add_intr() routine has changed and needs an
additional argument (which happend to be the irq-trigger). i added
EISA_TRIGGER_LEVEL to that call (level is what the controller uses according
to the compaq bios). the kernel compiles but crashes with a trap 12 when
probing ida0.
it crashed in the ida_wait() routine in ida.c while initially trying to
attach the board.
i wonder if anybody else hat such problems and (that would be even better)
has solved them.
i am willing to help in developting this driver but my knowlegde of c is bad
and my kernel programming excperiences are even worse ... :-(

anyways, i hope somebody out there is still working on that thing,
regards,
oliver
