Re: 6.0/amd64 boot hang if apic enabled on IBM x336
Does not work on xSeries 336 for me. Shows that CPU have HTT, 2 logical CPU. But does not launch "logical" CPU. When I've added #define MPTABLE_FORCE_HTT 1 into /sys/amd64/amd64/mptable.c I've seen detection on second CPU, but it hangs solid after "Timecounters tick every 1.000 ms". Just after that in single processor mode mpt0 is begin to initialize. Sincerely, Maxim M. Kazachek mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Mon, 19 Dec 2005, Joseph Koshy wrote: mk> The question I have.

Seriously, using a $200-$1000 RAID card to run your tape drive in place of a $40 SCSI card really doesn't make a whole lot of sense in most cases. I understand that there are situations where there aren't enough PCI slots for an extra SCSI card, but it's a tradeoff.

Re: ad10: WARNING - READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=11441599
SoftModems works (well, almost) perfectly under Windows. Some of these works under Linux. SoftModems is the best, because they are cheap and works under Windows. The FreeBSD is puny OS just because they lack support of Software modem. The thing is as worth as much you paid for it. If Silicon Image made BUGGY hardware, we should do just two things: 1. (the way we walked) Mark it as BROKEN. Perhaps we should document it, BUT... If things don't work, READ the manual, at last... 2. (the way linux walked) Try to make some QUIRKS to avoid problems for performance. The QUIRKS count will grow and some time later the NORMAL controller become QUIRK. Even if we choose second way, there will be a lot of rocks at Soren's side, that "Goddamn, I've purchased SiI3112 card, WD Raptor, why the my config DAMN slow comparing with, say, config with ICH...

You demand to see support for this chipset fixed, yet, you cant pony up a measly hundred bucks to donate the card to the developer who is not being paid to develop anything. Why? It was claimed that the code was developed to support this chipset. Was that done in the dark, without hardware? And why must it be a hardware donation? Karl has offered access to the hardware. Asking to get it back afterwards is a reasonable thing. If the developer wants to keep the card as part of a verification hardware suite, then they should open their mouth and say so. I suspect that Karl, and many other people, would be more forthcoming with such donations if 1.) They were asked in a reasonable manner, 2.) The hardware in question have not already been listed as working under 5.x, and 3.) They had some assurance that the problem would be fixed. And finally, the problem has been reported in 5.4 and apparently in 6.0-Beta _not _only_ for the SII chipset & SATA, but also for some of the Intel ICH chipsets. And others, such as myself, are seeing the same problem with plain PATA drives and controllers that are listed as being supported by the ata driver. In my case, a vanilla, OLD but working Via KT266A/8235 chipset MB _will_not_boot an install kernel unless booted in safe mode. I don't have the resources to just give away hardware or buy replacements, just to run FreeBSD as my desktop/development machine. It runs WinXP and Linux just fine. However I _want_ to run FreeBSD. Part of the that machine's rational is so that I can contribute in my areas of interest (sound & video editing/production tools, documentation). I chose to install 5.4, the PRODUCTION version, because I did not want any surprises, did not want to be hacking a basic system functions. At what point do I give up and just reformat the FreeBSD partition and either release it to use with WinXP or install Linux? Now mind you, I've used FreeBSD, as a production platform, since 2.0.X. I've survived a fair number of "bumps." But I'm at the point that I really want the things that are claimed to work to just work. I continue to run my servers under 4.X because or all the upheaval in 5.0/5.1/etc. But 5.4 was supposed to have those teething problems behind it. And the so far the only answer I get is try the ATA MkIII patches for a partial fix, move to 6.0 for a real solution. So when will 6.X really be Stable? Yes, I understand that the RE is working on getting 6.0 out the door. But what users are trying to tell you is that we need an answer for these problems. If the production release is broken for certain hardware, say so. If FreeBSD developers would rather work on big hairy server oriented problems, then say so. If we have to run beta code to get old hardware to work, then say so. Then we can make a choice as to what we run or try to use. If no one is interested in making FreeBSD work on the vanilla hardware that is out there, then say so. If FreeBSD is only going to run on expensive hand picked hardware (the Sun approach) then say so. Those of us who want to switch desktops and light duty servers to FreeBSD will give up and move to Linux. OR back to WinXP. John -- John T.
