Re: CCD and the new ATA/ATAPI subsystem?

1999-05-26 Thread NAKAGAWA Yoshihisa
 Without getting into the ccd/vinum comparisons, is there a reason you
 want to use ad? and not wd? ? AFAIK, wd? works fine with Soren's new
 driver (well, it's working for me, at any rate).

Soren's driver is alpha level, and danger with some chipset. For
example, it cause file system crash with Opti Viper-M chipset.

 I replied to this in private, but, for the record, it was not a
 joke.

Ok, I see your say. I feel inadequate metaphor and provocation
form, so that message seemed vulgar joke.

New-bus's goal is meaningful, but not only that one. Also
newconfig is same. Difference between these is realization way.

But I don't reply that message, I must become to cool. Probably
other member of newconfig will reply. I keep quiet in a while.

#I'm busy recently, and shocked by suddenly new-bus merge

#Also, one of stress cause is language barrier. English is hard

 This is pointless. All you're doing is pointing your finger and
 screaming It's not right! It's not fair! without saying anything of
 actual value.

OK OK, you are right. I have language barrier, so I can't explain
well. I talk other newconfig member, one of member, Furuta-san
will go to Usenix and presentation of newconfig paper.

After Usenix, still misunderstanding is exist, argument again. I
will become to explain if needed.

 Any chance of getting a preview of that paper? Is it, or will it be,
 available on the Web?

I don't know, probably the paper not yet available on Web. Please

 You bought a computer with the super-ultra-new Microsoft (tm)

It is extremely vulgar joke. I doubt your character.

 On whose authority do you say that? Garrett is a core team member.

I heard from Asami-san, Any voting not yet for new-bus. After
that, new-bus patch merge is decided. new-bus merge is core
decision, but drop static configration, ... these are not yet voted.

 Then explain to us why newbus is wrong and why the 4.4BSD scheme is
 right.

Because, you are misunderstanding 4.4BSD scheme (and newconfig).

 For the sake of the thread, this got committed a day or two ago, and these
 hacks have been replaced with a low priority match.

Why do you use another mechanism of 4.4BSD ? Don't loss time and
loss inter-operability between other BSDs.

 Because 4.4BSD got it wrong.  It has always been the belief of the
 FreeBSD Project's management that 4.4's totally-static configuration

No! 4.4BSD mechanism is good. Newconfig already support dynamic
configuration and *good* module support (not yet merge newconfig CVS).

 mechanism was unacceptable -- else we would have used it years ago.

It is not formal core decision.

 Our policy in all areas has been that we'd rather do the Right Thing
 than follow the crowd.

new-bus is wrong way. You are misunderstanding 4.4BSD mechanism.

 I was thinking of doing this, the same as alpm and intpm:
 
 case 0xdevid:
 #if NUHCI  0
   return NULL;
 #else
   return VIA blah USB controller;
 #endif

It depends on old-config, so poor mechanism. newconfig already
implimented best match probe/attach.

Re: HEADS UP!!!! Important instructions for -current users!

1999-04-18 Thread NAKAGAWA Yoshihisa
 Let us not forget that much of the newconfig work can be used with
 newconfig shims in the newbus scheme.

Probably some simple drivers for newconfig works with newconfig
shims, but bus code that depends on newconfig may not work.

I don't go to new-bus, this direction is disunion of BSDs. It is
bad decision.

 As of a few minutes ago, a minimal set of changes to bring the so-called

Is this formal decision of core team ? I feel a huge despair, as a

Re: aic (adaptec 152x) still not supported in -current?

1999-01-19 Thread NAKAGAWA Yoshihisa
 I'd love to see the aic supported, mostly for my notebook.  However,
 no one seems to have a confluance of time, information and talent to
 write the driver, or even port the other one in all its gory.

If CAMed aic driver is available, SlimSCSI support is very
easy. First of all, we need CAMed aic driver.

 As far as I know, I don't think the 2920 is supported since it's not a
 standard adaptec card (it was bought from another company)

Old 2920, AHA-2920A is using Future Domain chip. Newer 2920,
AHA-2920C? is using adaptec chip. But I don't test yet.

And, 2910 is using adaptec chip, too. This card has not boot-ROM.

1999-01-18 Thread NAKAGAWA Yoshihisa
 If you want SCSI support any time soon, I would suggest getting a supported
 card.  An ISA Advansys card might be a good, cheap substitute for your
 6360/6260 board.

Adaptec SlimSCSI is major PC-Card SCSI-IF, it is based on
aic6360. Now, aic not supported yet, so Note-PC user can't use any 
PC-Card SCSI-IF. 

In PAO, another PC-Card SCSI-IF supported, but these are
2.2-stable only, not yet CAMed.
