Kanata, Ontario, Canada Lines: 25 Distribution: world Message-ID: <2om26b$gil@rads.dnd.ca> Reply-To: robinson@rads.dnd.ca NNTP-Posting-Host: rads.dnd.ca Yesterday I asked for help on a strayintr 7 that was causing my system to lockup. Last night I found the solution. It seems that although the UltraStor 34F is factory set at IRQ 14, and that the card appeared to work, the Kernel still expected to be at IRQ 11. When It was strapped to IRQ 11, everything got along just fine. WHY was the kernel configured for IRQ 11? Perhaps this should be added to the FAQ. There are strayintr 7's that can't be ignored, but may be caused by confusion between what interrupts are expected, and which are actually used. I got NetBSD 0.9 and XFree86 2.0 installed last night. Works pretty good, I was impressed with how fast the X implimentation really is on my Graphics Ultra Pro. I've seem some pretty slow X setups, so wasn't expecting a lot. Good work. --- Ken Robinson NRNS Incorporated e-mail: robinson@nrnsinc.on.ca, ken@mystic.ocunix.on.ca I am under the opinion that my opinions are my own opinions, but that is just my opinion.
