Re: 3Ware 9500 install issues
Load teh 3w- I not how but it works. Ryven Am Sonntag 26 März 2006 04:42 schrieb [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Greetings: I have a machine that I'm trying to install Debian onto. The hardware consists of: Tyan K8WE Motherboard (2) Opteron 270 CPUs 4GB memory 3Ware 9500S with 4(RAID5) HDs The driver for the 3Ware card (3w-9xxx) isn't loaded by the installer, so there is no device /dev/sda to install onto. Using the second virtual console to manually load the 3w-9xxx driver doesn't help. The driver loads correctly, but it doesn't detect the disk array. This behavior occurs with the Beta 2 Etch netboot image, and with the nightly build also. The Sarge image doesn't work either, but it fails even earlier in the process. I thought that perhaps some of the drivers that were getting loaded were interfering with the operation of the 3w-9xxx driver, so I tried the install in expert mode and didn't let the installer load all of those ide chipset drivers, but it didn't help. I tried a PXE network install so that I could load no IDE drivers, but no dice either. I don't know if it is a problem with this particular kernel version or what. I tried the Ubuntu 5.10 live CD which has 2.6.12, and it is able to load the 3w-9xxx driver and see /dev/sda properly. After loading the driver manually, dmesg reports that version 2.26.02.004 is loaded. Can anyone offer any insight? Thanks.

But given most board configure it as 16x and 1x or 8x and 8x, it actually might not be a bad way to get a cheap consumer board that can run a very nice PCIe raid card. :) Of course if you are silly you could run the video card in 16x and the other slot in 1x and just starve the raid card with only 500MB/s of bandwidth. Not sure why they use 4x and 8x connectors on the raid cards. PCIe 16x does seem to be just PCIe with more lanes, but maybe I am guessing wrong and the 16x slots are special for video in some manner.

Re: fast clock wreaks havoc on amd64 dual core - hp1250n
Am Samstag 22 Oktober 2005 03:52 schrieb Nathan O. Siemers: Hello all, I've spent the last 5 days trying to fix an issue with a brand new hp a1250n dual core athlon64 machine. ATI motherboard with embedded radeon xpress 200 graphics. I've installed the pure64 sarge distribution. This is my first 64 bit debian attempt, although I am running a 2 cpu opteron workstation with suse at work. The system in many ways okay, but there is a serious problem with interrupts and clock speed which wreaks general havoc on the machine. The clock is running about 2x speed - I think perhaps two clock ticks (from each core?) are happening for each one that should. X windows keyboard behavior is quite erratic, I often get 2-4 chars repeated for each key typed. I believe this is consistent with lots of interrupt activity? Summary of my experiments so far: 2.6.13.4 kernel 1. turning off smp in kernel compile configuration does not correct the problem. 2. no_timer_check and/or notsc does not reliably correct the problem - I have seen some help for periods of time. 3. moving from athlon64 to generic x86_64 during kernel compile does nothing 4. no_timer_check pci=noacpi pci=routeirq kernel boot option corrects the 2x clock speed problem, but breaks at lot of other things - I am running this at the moment so I can use the computer (but my firewire drive is not recognized, for example). 5. PM_timer kernel compile option does nothing 6. Changing timer frequency does nothing. I wanted to check with older 2.6 kernels but experience a failed boot on stock debian 2.6.8 amd64-smp kernel, I don't this is indicative of a problem other than misconfiguration of grub or devfs subsystems (there is a pivot_root at boot time that fails)... some interesting log entries: kern.log: Oct 18 14:57:48 localhost kernel: Losing some ticks... checking if CPU frequency changed. Oct 18 23:36:50 line kernel: Your time source seems to be instable or some driver is hogging interupts Oct 19 05:40:05 line kernel: rtc: lost some interrupts at 2048Hz. Oct 19 05:49:33 line kernel: rtc: lost some interrupts at 2048Hz. This seems like it could be related to kernel bug 3927: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3927 which has been marked as resolved but my reading suggest that a sufficient number of people found workarounds to let the bug subside rather than fixing it... In any case, my deep appreciation to anyone who has a solution after days of kernel recompiles and rebooting with various boot options. Happy to send more detailed logs and kernel compile options if there is interest. Nathan Just a little workaround. You need an smp numa kernel. Compile it this 500 hz.

Netinstall hasn't support for this driver. Isn't i2o a system used by many scsi controllers? Not at all. Which one in particular? From linux-2.6.12.2/drivers/message/i2o/Kconfig : The Intelligent Input/Output (I2O) architecture allows hardware drivers to be split into two parts: an operating system specific module called the OSM and an hardware specific module called the HDM. The OSM can talk to a whole range of HDM's, and ideally the HDM's are not OS dependent. This allows for the same HDM driver to be used under different operating systems if the relevant OSM is in place. In order for this to work, you need to have an I2O interface adapter card in your computer. This card contains a special I/O processor (IOP), thus allowing high speeds since the CPU does not have to deal with I/O. There's only one I2O scsi driver that is able to handle all I2O scsi cards. Erik For my example, I use it on the Apatec 3410 because no 64 kernel-modules are on stage. The useing is a bit unusual but it works.

Well if the drivers are the ones in drivers/message/i2o/ then yes the installer does in fact leave all of them out. I recently built a netinst for sarge amd64 that uses 2.6.11-9-amd64 instead of the 2.6.8-11 used currently on the official cd, which a few people have used successfully to install on machines that didn't work with 2.6.8. I could try and add the i2o drivers to it as well and rebuild it with that setup if you would like to try that. As long as the i2o uses the standard /dev/sd* scsi driver devices, I imagine it would actually work. Of course I have no hardware to test that on, but I am willing to spend an hour or so updating my netinst image. The other option is to use another drive/controller while installing, then use the i2o in the full kernel installed to transfer to i2o and switch to booting from that. Len Sorensen Nice stuff. On my mashine the hd's are with i2o on /dev/i2o/hda and so on. By the way, they are scsi-disc. :-) Ryven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
