Toonen) Subject: [386BSD] Local Bus IDE Problems Message-ID: <1993Jan17.214518.12031@mcs.anl.gov> Sender: usenet@mcs.anl.gov Organization: Argonne National Laboratory, Chicago, Illinois X-Newsreader: Tin 1.1 PL5 Date: Sun, 17 Jan 1993 21:45:18 GMT Lines: 25 I am running a 66Mhz 486DX2 with a Micropolis 2112A hard drive attached to a DC-680 local bus IDE controller. Also included in this system is a Adaptec 1540b SCSI controller with a Toshiba CD Rom and a local bus Genoa graphics card. I have partitioned the hard drive with two 200 meg dos partitions and a 600 meg partition for 386BSD. I have identified the 386BSD partition with the appropriate A5h designation. While attempting to install 386BSD, the install program reports that 386BSD has already installed. When I tell it to reinstall it prompts me with the same information. When the kernel boots, the system recognizes the Adaptec SCSI controller (as0) but does not seem to find the IDE controller since no wd* device is listed. Furthermore, a device named npx0 is listed for IRQ13. I have been unable to determine what npx0 might be. After having read the FAQ and searching FTP sites for answers, I haven't a clue as to what might be wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Brian R. Toonen toonen@mcs.anl.gov
