[CFR] ncv, nsp, stg SCSI drivers

2000-09-27 Thread non

Call for review, ncv, nsp, and stg SCSI drivers which are ported from
NetBSD/pc98. I would like to merge to current and do MFC.

ncv: NCR 53C500 based SCSI PC-CARDs
nsp: Ninja SCSI-3 based SCSI PC-CARDs
stg: TMC 18C30 based SCSI PC-Cards and ISA cards.

They are tested and working on PAO3 and there are entries (totally 19)
in /etc/pccard.conf, though commented out. 

I would like to have review especially on the changes in
i386/isa/clock.c for counting delay loop numbers, and converts of SCSI
layer from NetBSD one to CAM in cam/scsi/scsi_low.[ch] .

They can be obtained from
http://home.jp.freebsd.org/~non/scsi_low-2926.tar.gz   (added files)
http://home.jp.freebsd.org/~non/scsi_low-2926.diff.gz  (diff to current)
http://home.jp.freebsd.org/~non/scsi_low4-2926.diff.gz  (diff to stable)
You will need the tar.gz file and one of diff.gz file.

Could you explain the functionality you need here ?  We already

There are codes like;
int tout = sc->sc_wc;
;
while (slp->sl_scp.scp_datalen > 0 && tout -- > 0)
{
;
}

To calculate the tout we use;
sc->sc_wc = delaycount * 2000;  /* 2 sec */

And we initialize the delaycount in clock.c.

This is called "busy polling" and there must be a better way to do it.

Has this code been profiled to examine typical actual delay lengths ?

I don't know. I obtained these codes from NetBSD/pc98 and I did not
change here.

Normally, that would be enough yes.  I think you want:

src/sys/dev/iicbus and src/sys/dev/smbus

Normally adding the vid/rid combo should at least detect it yes.

ESS1879 hwptr went backward?

2000-09-27 Thread Karl M. Joch

Notebook: KAPOK 8700 (sold under different brands) 233Mhz MMX, 128 MB, 4GB, ESS 1879 
sound:

the ESS 1879 is correctly detected when booting. also cat /dev/sndstat shows up ESS 
1878 irq5 io 240
1:3 (1p:1r). also tried it with using only one DMA.

but when trying to play ( cat somesound.au > /dev/audio) i get the message:

hwptr went backwards 0->4092

and the system crashes hard. only power off possible. i havnt used sound for a longer 
time, but i am
sure in 3.4 it has played with pcm.

running Current of 26th Sep.

--

my open problems:

reboot & shutdown -r hangs the box. (shutdown works, after pressing a key i see 
rebooting, then
screen is black and box hangs)

staroffice 52 works fine under KDE2 except when having a network connection (mail, 
www) the
statusline says making connection to somehost (netstat shows a connection) and it 
waits forever.

vmware and serial: when i run the nokia pc suite for the communicator on NT/vmware and 
connect to
the mobile i can see the data. small transfers works fine. when trying to do a backup 
it looks like
there is a communication problem when sending more data. parts of the data are 
transfered but the it
displays an error. as usual without any hints under windows. already slowed down to 
9600. no
success. browsing the gsm fones data works.

there is one message when booting: isa0: too many dependant configs (8).   ??

Re: ESS1879 hwptr went backward?

2000-09-27 Thread Karl M. Joch

the production servers are all on 4.1 at the moment. the notebook is more a game to 
get it to run
with sound and all that stuff normally nobody really needs. as long as i can use ssh 
and vmware i
dont really care about a crash. i am more curious to see what the future brings. and 
at least
current brought me to start learn C. till now i only know BS2000 assembler, cobol and 
perl. btw, i
am more or less new to this list. if my mails are placed wrong here please tell me.

Unknown PCI chipsets

2000-09-27 Thread Thomas D. Dean

I am trying to identify some PCI chips on my Toshiba Satellite Pro
4340.

Looking at sys/pci/pcisupport.c and dmesg, is it safe to assume these
are matches?  Looking at the spec of the system, it seems logical.

pci0:  (vendor=0x11c1, dev=0x0441) at 7.0 irq 3
return ("LUCENT K56Flex DSVD LTMODEM (winmodem, unsupported)");

pci0:  (vendor=0x1179, dev=0x0d01) at 9.0 irq 11
return ("Toshiba Fast Infra Red controller");

What might this be?  vendor?
pci0:  (vendor=0x1073, dev=0x0010) at 12.0 irq 11
Maybe a "Yahama YMF744B-R sound support, Windows Sound System
and Sound Blaster Pro - compatible 16-bit stereo with MIDI,
3D Sound, Direct Sound andDirect 3D Sound support"?

These are thing for which there is no driver, but we know what they are.

interesting problem

When I booted the 9/27/2000 (ie. today)  I got a page fault 12 in kernel
mode.  The problem seems to be because I have all my IDE devices turned off
in my bios.  If this is the case, please undo this!  That would be the
silliest reason for a kernel to not boot because I want to save irq's.  I
got this from downloading the flp images and fdimage-ing them to disks!

How about "go away"?

Don't be rude to a developer offering good advice, if you're unable
to follow his instructions on how to provide a crashdump you
shouldn't be running -current or you should at least ask nicely.

And -current is covered in the handbook:
  http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/current-stable.html

This is a claim which you need to substantiate.

Well, no, I can think of sillier reasons.  But if it's the case, we
should do something about it.

Fix what?

It contains information that you need to understand.

Who knows?  You haven't given any evidence for this opinion.

Your turn.  If you run -CURRENT, you're expected to do some work
yourself.  Certainly it's inappropriate to make an unsubstantiated
claim and then say "fix it".  If you want help, do what people suggest
and come back with sensible questions if you don't understand
something.

My system hang with ACPI kernel thread

2000-09-27 Thread Munehiro Matsuda

Hello Takawata-san,

With the addition of ACPI kernel thread, my system hangs in about 
10 miniutes use after boot up. By disabling kernel thread, system
runs just fine.

Do you have any idea where to look at?
I'll try and see what I can do myself.

BTW, patch in [acpi-jp 576] also had the same symptom, but I forgot
report back to you, Sorry. :-(

 Thanks,
  Haro

RE: interesting problem

2000-09-27 Thread Tony Johnson

OK
Well Here is the issue.  If I put in the 2 boot floppies I get a page fault
12 after I press Q for "quit" on the visual kernel config.  If I can save a
crash dump before any FS's are mounted or even before I tell FBSD where to
put the crash dump, I'd really like to know this...   I'd like to read a
handbook page on thisb since some people think I just haven't read it.

At this point in an install, if you could tell me (and the rest of the
FreeBSD users) where I could get the boot floppies to save a crash dump
(because I haven't even gotten this far) then I would appreciate this amd be
more then happy to substantiate this by sending you a crash dump.

Do you realize how much developer time you're wasting by thrashing
around cluelessly on the list demanding help?

Here's a clue:

Forget about your damn irq problem, boot with the disks installed,
then read section of the handbook about crashdumps, compile a debug
kernel and figure out what the problem is.  Fix it and send us a
patch.

Or you could simply run -stable.

thanks,
-Alfred

Those are in, but there is no driver that recognizes the
device and vendor ID above.  Guess I'll have to write one
as soon as I can get the PCI 2.2 spec.

Thanks,

Please set debug.aml_debug and debug.acpi_debug to 1 and 
see what will happen.

Network bridge on current.

2000-09-27 Thread Boyd R. Faulkner

I am wondering how to do network bridging on current.  The description
in the handbook seems to be out of date as the sysctl IODs are no longer
in evidence.  Does loading ng_bridge substitute for building the kernel
with OPTIONS BRIDGE?

Thanks,
Boyd
