Grab /sys/dev/sound/pci/emu10k1.c
and  /sys/gnu/dev/sound/pci/emu10k1.h 
from -current and recompile kernel.. no problems.

I'm working on a little util similar to pciconf -l right now.. but using
a large array of vendor/device strings for the id's.. Does pciconf -l
display those devices as being part of the PCI bus or are they out of
the picture completely?

Have you tried any memory testing routines such as memtest86 ? Its the
only you write to a floppy and it runs before any bootstrap kicks in --
independant of the OS -- and takes around 18 hours for a single pass. It
appears to be quite a comprehensive torture test. If so, how did that
dodgy DIMM perform? (The reason I ask is that I'm interested in knowing
if these tests can reveal the problems that building world did in your
situation.)

That would kinda make sense since cvsuping with tag=RELENG_3 seems to

Take a look in intpm(4) under the bugs section:

This device requires IRQ 9 exclusively. To use this, you should enable
ACPI function in BIOS configuration, or PnP mechanism assigns conflicted
IRQ for PnP ISA card. And don't use IRQ 9 for Non-PnP ISA cards.

Your USB bus controller being on irq 9 might be causing this problem..
Have a play around with IRQ's.

I get the same problem, after brandelfing to linux and running it, the

Brandelf -t FreeBSD segfaults it without even showing the splash screen.

Nice helpful error message.. can anyone shed some light on that?

Whats wrong with FreeBSD going to the fore as far as common sense goes?
Are there standards that specify the location of cron's logs? So why
not.. maybe other unices will do the same when they see FreeBSD doing it

Disabling it on the BIOS list of timer interrupts stops the movement of

I tried that and the drive spins down, and right about 5 seconds before
the 30 seconds is up, it spins back up again by itself, then it goes
into suspend, but then comes right back out (presumably because of the
disk activity).

P.S plugging it back in, i do notice it resumes whenever there is
activity on the hub :D

followup to apm problems.

1999-08-23 Thread Mike Muir

Ive been following the apm problems and changes in apm threads in hope
that I would fix the problems that I too am having.

I am using the latest sources for apm, apmconf and apmd, as well as the
kernel. (as of 23/8/99, NZST, which is yesterday evening)

dmesg is:

apm0:  on motherboard
apm: APM BIOS version 0102
apm: Code16 0xc00f, Data 0xc00fdfa0
apm: Code entry 0x8010, Idling CPU enabled, Management enabled
apm: CS_limit=0x, DS_limit=0x
apm: Engaged control enabled
apm: found APM BIOS v1.2, connected at v1.2
apm: Slow Idling CPU enabled
Add hook "default suspend"
Add hook "default resume"
---and then later on
psm0:  irq 12 on atkbdc0
Add hook "PS/2 mouse"

after going 'apmconf -e'
apm shows:

APM version: 1.2
APM Managment: Enabled
AC Line status: on-line
 
Resume timer: disabled
Resume on ring indicator: enabled
APM Capacities:
global standby state
global suspend state
resume timer from standby
resume timer from suspend


'apm -Z' for standby jumps into standby mode for like.. an instant, then
comes right back out (while playing mp3)

dmesg:

APM ioctl: cmd = 0x2000500c
Received APM Event: PMEV_STANDBYRESUME
Execute APM hook "default resume."
resumed from suspended mode (slept 00:00:00)
Execute APM hook "PS/2 mouse."

'zzz' or 'apm -z' for suspend jumps into suspend mode, and just the same
way, comes right back out (while playing mp3s again)

dmesg:

APM ioctl: cmd = 0x20005001
Execute APM hook "default suspend."
Received APM Event: PMEV_NORMRESUME
Execute APM hook "default resume."
resumed from suspended mode (slept 00:00:01)
Execute APM hook "PS/2 mouse."

it should be noted that the cpu fan does turn off momentarily for both
of these events, and the mp3 that is playing stops, then starts up again
where it left off.
Even without playing anything through the sound device, it does the same
thing.
If i leave the thing on with no activity, while running apmd, it goes
into suspend or standby (depending on the timers set in the bios) every
now and again, but jumps back out as soon as it does.
Also, all the PM timer interrupts are disabled.

Motherboard is an Abit BH-6

cheers,
mike.

You might want to check your resolv.conf, having an ip that you cant
access in there could be causing some things to load extremely slowly as
they have to wait for a query to 
timeout or something - running ppp obviously lets you access your ISP's
name server providing you have resolv.conf setup for that ip - you could
always run your own caching only name server for that and chuck the
boxes own ip into resolv.conf.
Mebe upgrading /etc to be inline with -CURRENT you overwrote a few name
resolution related files..

Well, im using a Sony 948S here, works fine under -CURRENT with GCOMBUST
(as 
a front end to mkisofs, mkhybridfs and cdrecord).. except that GCOMBUST 
occasionally cant figure out the target, rerunning it seems to get past
this minor
problem.
