5.3-p2 freezes after kldloading snd_neomagic

2004-12-04 Thread Jan Stary
Hello,

I am running FreeBSD 5.3-p2 on a Dell Latitude LS notebook. (See
KERNCONF and dmesg at the end.) Nearly everything is working fine,
except for the sound chip. I built the sound stuff as modules
(sound/pcm + sound/driver/neomagic).
 
When I try to insert the module, I get

# kldload snd_neomagic
pcm0:  mem 0xfea0-0xfeaf,0xf780-0xf7bf irq 10 
at device 0.1 on pci1

and then the system freezes. If I compile pcm right into the kernel, the
freeze occurs during bootime with the same message.

Thanks
 
Jan

snd_neomagic kldloads, then 5.2.1-p11 freezes

2004-10-27 Thread Jan Stary
Hello,

I am running FreeBSD 5.2.1-p11 on a Dell Latitude LS notebook. (See
KERNCONF and dmesg at the end.) Nearly everything is working fine,
except for the sound chip.

I built the sound stuff as modules (sound/pcm + sound/driver/neomagic,
resulting in snd_pcm + snd_neomagic).

When I try to insert the module, I get

# kldload snd_neomagic
pcm0:  mem 0xfea0-0xfeaf,0xf780-0xf7bf, irq 10, device 
0.1 on pci1

and then the system freezes. If I compile pcm right into the kernel, the
freeze occurs during bootime with the same message.

I also have wi0 running at irq 10 (see dmesg); when I don't use it (no
card in, no device attached to wi0, irq 10 not used by anything), the
freeze ocuurs all the same.

Suspecting some conflict between devices using irq 10, I said
hint.pcm.0.irq="5" in /boot/device.hints (irq 5 is not used by
anything), but kldloading snd_neomagic still tries to use irq 10
- why is that? What is the right way of telling a device which irq to
use?


Before I even found that it is a NeoMagic, I built all the sound modules
and tried kldloading them. Some of them just loaded and nothing happened
(I probably don't have any device they could serve), some resulted in

# kldload snd_ad1816
sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0x4000
sio1: port may not be enabled

# kldload snd_ess
sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
sio1: port may not be enabled
sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
sio1: port may not be enabled
sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
sio1: port may not be enabled

# kldload snd_mss
sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
sio1: port may not be enabled
sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
sio1: port may not be enabled
sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
sio1: port may not be enabled

# kldload speaker
sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
sio1: port may not be enabled
speaker0 port0x61 on acpi0

Why does kldloading a sound module have to do anything with sio1?
Where is irq 3 'configured' to be used? (by the sound module?)

So I also disabled sio1 in device.hints (hint.sio.1.disabled="1") - there
is only one sio at the machine anyway.

I use ACPI - does it have anything to do with my problem?
(with ACPI, devices are 'on acpi0', not on 'on isa0' etc.)

Thanks

Jan

Edimax wifi card not recognized

2004-02-19 Thread Jan Stary
Hello,

I am running 5.2-RELASE on a Celeron/366.

After I installed the Edimax WLAN 22Mbps PCI Card (which says
'Model Name: GL2422VP'). I experience the following problem:

running `pciconf -lv` says

...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:11:0:class=0x028000 card=0x850116ab chip=0x8400104c rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
vendor   = 'Texas Instruments (TI)'
device   = '802.11b+ 22Mbps Wireless Adapter'
class= network
...

and no interface is created for the device. My KERNCONF
contains wlan, wi, awi, an, and wl.

See the attached KERNCONF, dmesg and pciconf.

What does it mean for the card to be 'recognized' by pciconf,
yet not being attached a driver? Did somebody get the card running?

Thank you

Jan

ipf or ipfw?

2004-01-09 Thread Jan Stary

Hello,

I am deciding whether to use ipf or ipfw. I have had a brief look
at them and I like them both. I am quite a newbie in this.

Is any one of them particularly better for the following
situation? One standalone server, hosted by an ISP; only want to
protect myself (explicitly allow the services I provide); no need
for traffic shaping; want to do some traffic statistics, though.

If you would use _one_ of them rather than the other for such a
task, please tell me why (I mean, point me to the docs saying
why).


Also, I am a bit confused by the kernel config for this: the
names of the IPFILTER* and IPFIREWALL* make me think I need
IPFILTER* to be able to run ipf, and IPFIREWALL* to run ipfw.
But the kernel functionality needed to run them is probably very
much the same, so what am I missing? Didn't find this in the
Handbook. Which of these should I enable to run ipf(w)?
Point me to the docs, please.

device  bpf # Berkeley packet filter
options IPSEC   #IP security
options IPSEC_ESP   #IP security (crypto; define w/ IPSEC)
options IPSEC_DEBUG #debug for IP security

Re: ufs problem (mounting ufs under linux-2.6.0-test11)

Hello,

I don't seem to be able to mount the FreeBSD-5.1-RELEASE's ufs

Has the ufs format changed in 5.1? I specify ufstype=44bsd in
the mount command.

Thank you

Yes. I am using the partition for my BSD boots happily, though -
maybe the ufs has changed in freebsd 5.1 ? I will ask on the BSD

Thanks for your time, Heiko.

pccardd of 5.1R-p10 not recognizing card(s)

2003-11-24 Thread Jan Stary
Hello,

I am running 5.1-RELEASE-p10 hapilly on an Acer Aspire laptop,
except for one thing: the pccardd does not recognized PC cards.

I tried ZCom XI-325 and Micronet SP905B. They are both recognized
fine under 4.7, but 5.1 only says No card in database for "(null)"("(null)")

Trying 'pccardc enabler 0 wi0' makes the machine freeze for a few
seconds and respond with

stop_cmd=":" in pccard

2003-11-24 Thread Jan Stary
Hello,

sorry for reposting, but I could only google my original
messages, and did not find the possibly simple answer anywhere.

Why does /et/rc.d/pccard say stop_cmd=":"?
This does, of course, not 'stop' pccardd.

Is there some deeper ... you know ... sense ...?

Thanks

5.1-RELEASE on a machine with 24MB RAM

2003-11-19 Thread Jan Stary
Hi list,

I am running 5.1-RELEASE on a outdated machine - it's a Compaq
Deskpro 2000, manufactured ~1995, with Pentium/100 and 24MB RAM.
I made a 64MB swap partition.

I wonder if there are any particular options (systcl vm.* ?) that
I should be intersted in to get the best out of the machine.

I did sysctl -ae | sed 's/^/#/' >> /etc/sysctl.conf and went
through all of it, but the descriptions (sysctl -ad) didn't
really tell me much. 

The handbook advised me to put MAXUSERS 0 into kernconf, so that
the systems puts a reasonable default value into kern.maxusers.
Is there something more to tweak?

Is there some documentation about running FreeBSD on a very
lowmem machine? Some discussion of kern.maxusers?

Thank you

Why stop_cmd=":" in /etc/rc.d/pccard ?

2003-10-31 Thread Jan . Stary
Hi all,

why does /etc/rc.d/pccard say stop_cmd=":" in CURRENT?
This obviously does not 'stop' pccardd. As a consequence,
'/etc/rc.d/pccard restart' gives you two pccardd's running.

Thanks

default boot vs. safe mode

2003-10-17 Thread Jan . Stary
Hello,

I wonder what exactly is the difference between booting the 'default mode'
and 'safe mode' from the initial booting menu in -CURRENT.

Because, with 'default' it _always_ hangs for me, but with 'safe' I
_never_ had a problem. Is it just setting some kernel variables 
(like /etc/sysctl.conf)?

It's an Acer Aspire 1304XC laptop, Athlon XP.

Thank you.
