My T30 has standard IRQs (most everything shares 11) and I have not seen this. My fxp0 works fine with CURRENT and has worked for quite some time, maybe since pre-5.0-Release.

I couldn't get ps2 to tell me anything interesting, but I entered the BIOS and put 5,7,9,10,11 for the first 5 PCI IRQ ids and left the last three on auto and ta-da! everything seems to be working.

You need to either boot Windows or the DOS disk from IBM. ps2 is the IBM utility to adjust BIOS parameters. While these can also be adjusted under Windows, many are never written to CMOS and are lost on re-boot. (Windows re-loads them from the registry.) ps2 will change the values in CMOS memory. -- R.

I also didn't have the time to look at it the last day and a half, but I have time this weekend so I'll definitely investigate. The part that I'm confused about is "what's the 'ps2' utility?" There's no mention of it in /usr/ports and the only things I can find with google are a DOS program by that name. Is that what you're referring to? If so, where do I get it? > the only odd thing is that 5.0 did not have this bug, while 5.1 has > it. if it needs fixing is up to you, i am now happy with the current > solution. but then, the default bios settings are so stupid that it may > not be feasable to do anything about it. This is the part that confuses me as well, but from 5.0 to 5.1 the fxp driver was completely re-written to use a different API so tracking down the specific problem is going to suck :( I also have XP on the laptop (for work stuff, honest! :) and it's working fine as well, so it's definitely a bug in 5.1. I'll also try getting -CURRENT /usr/src off another system and recompiling from scratch to see if that fixes the issue (not having net sucks! :) Dana Lacoste Ottawa, Canada PS: Someone had said that although they might be able to find the bug they'd need the affected hardware. Well, if you're between Toronto and Quebec City I could arrange a field trip for the weekend, but I'm not shipping my laptop to Europe :) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I do not know whether the order matters, but the distribution does. like this, every irq is assigned to two devices: 5->uhic0 and cbb0, 9->cbb1 and pcm0, 10->uhic2 and wi0, 11->uhic1 and fxp0. the only drawback i encountered with these settings was a short hang during boot when probing uhic2. it did not hang there before i started switching around irqs, but i do not know what is wrong here. other than that, everything works now. > : this has to be fixed before 5.2, imho. it renders a default install > : on thinkpads useless. note that this does NOT happen on all thinkpad > : systems, i didn't figure out what makes up the difference. > > sounds like a bug that needs to be fixed, but the details are so vague > as to make that impossible. chances are very good that someone with a > clue (like me) will need a machine that fails to fix it. the only odd thing is that 5.0 did not have this bug, while 5.1 has it. if it needs fixing is up to you, i am now happy with the current solution. but then, the default bios settings are so stupid that it may not be feasable to do anything about it. hope that helps, t. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Problems with fxp0 on T30 with 5.1-RELEASE
Please post your full dmesg output. You should be using "device pccbb" not pcmcia in 5.x. I've got patches that make cardbus probe/attach with acpi without the start_memory hack on my T23. Those should be going in soon. My fxp(4) on my laptop is working fine. -Nate ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I run 5.1 (actually CURRENT) on a T30 and have not seen this for some time. You may need to go to CURRENT. It may be an issue with some interaction. I will attach my configuration files and dmesg for my T30. Are you running ACPI or APM? I am running APM. The only IRQ assignments shown in ps2 are: Serial 4 PCI 11 IDE2 15 Of course, other IRQs are in use, but they are not configurable. (psm, IDE1, keyboard, clock, ...). The fxp0 uses the shared PCI IRQ. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
