Hello!
Last week I bought a HP35480 DAT streamer and connected it to my PC.
Configuration:
ASUS SP3 486/DX2-66, 1 GB + 2 GB HD (NEC 31200, DEC 5200) both SCSI, no
IDE drives, NCR 810 on-board PCI controller. All devices are unterminated,
centronics-interface at the end, terminated. NEC: id0, DEC: id1, HP:
id5. Occasionally there's a Viper 150 (ID4) at the centronics but that
doesn't make any difference to my problem.
I run FreeBSD 2.0R and wanted to install 2.0.5R together with (and
from!) the new installed tape. The installation went through without any
major problems. I could read all files, I can write files. Pax, tar, dd,
dump, cpio, etc. can read and write ok.
But I keep getting lots of _annoying_ kernel warnings (I still run the
generic kernel):
kernel: getcc reselected from t0
(that is from memory)
While installing a couple of packages it was repeated over 300 times
(all worked though). Then again when I did a 2 GB backup it didn't show
up. It seems to be quite unpedictable.
The jumper settings of the drive: 3 is off (i.e. media Recognition is
on), all other jumpers are on.
The booklet I got with the drive doesn't mention the meaning of the
jumpers. It only gives the "proper" settings for SunOS, HPUX and OSF/1
and tells me to "contact my HP vendor" for further informations. :-((
Can anyone give me a hint what to do now? Recompiling the kernel (I'll
do that anyway), switching the jumper settings? How?
Or even better: Could someone give me exact information on what the
single jumpers are for?
Thanks in advance.
-Walter
PS: Followup is set to comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc
