I can't get NetBSD to run on my machine. Does someone knows if some of my
hardware is in conflict with NetBSD?
My hardware:
A3000 KS3.1 WB3.1, SCSI_chip -08
2 Hard-drives, connected to A3000-scsi, with unit 0 and 1
VLab
Cybervision64
Apollo 040, 38MB, with SCSI-controller (no devices connected to this)
ZIP, unit 5
CD-Rom SCSI-2, unit 3
I am installing from "GateWay II".
When I follows the installer docs, and run with the NetBSD kernel on the CD,
NetBSD find the CyberVision64 (4MB), but can't reconise VLab/Apollo.
Then it prints this lines:
ahsc0 at mainbus0
sbicwait timeo@917 with asr=x0 csr=x0
scsibus0 at ahsc0
sbicwait timeo@1054 with asr=x0 csr=x0
||
\/
(forever)
I suppose there is a conflict with the SCSI-controller on the
Apollo-card.
No.
If it is, is there something to do with it, or do I just hope that
NetBSD would include support in next release, or any patches that
will fix it?
First check:
- how did you boot? if with loadbsd -I ff, or gobsd's corresponding
option, you need to make sure your AmigaOS didn't operate the scsibus
in synchronous mode (I'm not sure about the line numbers, as they
changed in the meantime).
Hm... you have -1.1?
Then it might be one of the few remaining bugs in the driver, which
makes it vulnerable to misbehaving devices on the SCSI bus... try to
disconnect them one by one.
