Can't get these to work 8( Date: 31 Jan 1995 02:04:06 GMT Organization: Apanix Public Access Unix, +61 8 373 5485 (5 lines) Lines: 91 Message-ID: <3gk5qm$p38@tipellium.apana.org.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: seldon.apanix.apana.org.au I've been trying to get a 4port card working on my system off and on for months now : I have two candidates; A genuine AST 'async cluster adapter', and a PC-COM 4serial card. I can frob the UARTs fine under DOS with REBUG, but FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 and 2.0 refuse to proble them. TBH, I had 2.0 find the PC-COM card _once_; all was happy and I built a new kernel to add a few other things... went out, had a power outage, came back to the new kernel loaded and no ports found 8( I have subsequently replaced _everything_ on the card (UARTS, shrapnel, address decode PROM etc) except for the line drivers and the DIP switches... still no soap. I'm being a bore and including my entire kernel config here in the off chance that something other than the obvious is wrong; plenty of other people 'round here run these sort of cards with no woe, I'd like to too 8( ----8<---snip---8<---- machine "i386" cpu "I486_CPU" ident GREENEGGS maxusers 10 options INET #InterNETworking options FFS #Berkeley Fast Filesystem options NFS #Network Filesystem options MSDOSFS #MSDOS Filesystem options "CD9660" #ISO 9660 Filesystem options PROCFS #Process filesystem options "COMPAT_43" #Compatible with BSD 4.3 options UCONSOLE #X Console support options "FAT_CURSOR" #block cursor in syscons or pccons options "NCONS=4" #4 virtual consoles options COM_MULTIPORT # blah config kernel root on sd1 swap on sd0 and sd1 dumps on sd1 controller isa0 controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr disk fd0 at fdc0 drive 0 disk fd1 at fdc0 drive 1 controller uha0 at isa? port "IO_UHA0" bio irq ? drq 5 vector uhaintr controller scbus0 device sd0 device sd1 device sd2 device sd3 device st0 device st1 device cd0 #Only need one of these, the code dynamically grows device sc0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector scintr device npx0 at isa? port "IO_NPX" irq 13 vector npxintr device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector siointr device sio1 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector siointr device sio2 at isa? port 0x2a0 tty irq 7 flags 0x0201 vector siointr device sio3 at isa? port 0x2a8 tty flags 0x0201 device sio4 at isa? port 0x2b0 tty flags 0x0201 device sio5 at isa? port 0x2b8 tty flags 0x0201 device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 net irq 9 iomem 0xd8000 vector edintr device snd1 at isa? port 0x388 device snd2 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr pseudo-device loop pseudo-device ether pseudo-device log pseudo-device sl 2 pseudo-device pty 16 pseudo-device speaker pseudo-device bpfilter 16 -- # mike smith : miff@apanix.apana.org.au - Silicon grease monkey # # "The question 'why are the fundamental laws of nature mathematical' # # then invites the trivial response 'because we define as fundamental # # those laws which are mathematical'".
