Re: kern/16379: Serious problems with the ohci driver on a DEC PWS 500au (Alpha)
Re: port-alpha/21472: USB device interferes with IDE device; interrupt lossage

OK, so removing the USB devices from the kernel doesn't solve the
problem well enough, at least not for 1.6.x on the ES40.

Something like this appears when trying to do bulk data reads from the
CD-ROM, e.g. when trying to unpack the binary/sets files from the
INSTALL kernel (which has no ohci* driver and no other USB device
drivers):

	pciide0:0:0: lost interrupt
		type: atapi tc_bcount: 65536 tc_skip: 0
	pciide0:0:0: bus-master DMA error: missing interrupt, status=0x21
	cd0: transfer error, downgrading to PIO mode 4
	cd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4
	pciide0:0:0: lost interrupt
		type: atapi tc_bcount: 0 tc_skip: 65536
	[[ ... ]]
	pciide0:0:0: lost interrupt
		type: atapi tc_bcount: 0 tc_skip: 65536
	[[ ... ]]
	pciide0:0:0: lost interrupt
		type: atapi tc_bcount: 0 tc_skip: 8192

This seems to almost exactly match what was reported in PR#16379 and the
thread that lead up to that PR, except that I don't seem to see any
corresponding "stray IRQ" messages.

I find the following in sys/arch/alpha/pci/pci_6600.c:

revision 1.2
date: 2000/03/19 02:25:29;  author: thorpej;  state: Exp;  lines: +69 -26
branches:  1.2.2;
Add support for mapping the OHCI USB controller interrupt (which is wired toan ISA IRQ because it's in the same package as the PCI-ISA bridge).

However on the ES40 the device probes as follows:

	ohci0 at pci0 dev 19 function 0: Acer Labs M5237 USB Host Controller (rev. 0x03)
	ohci0: interrupting at isa irq 10
	ohci0: OHCI version 1.0, legacy support

So is it really on an ISA IRQ when it probes as a PCI device?

According to the SRM's "show config" the only thing that actually seems
to be on the ISA bus is the floppy (of the things it knows about):

Once a long time ago Ross Harvey posted about the PWS500au USB problems:

Does this suggest that Nathan's  patches for USB on PWS500au to
pci_550.c still also need to be made to pci_6600.c?

Shall I build a PCI_CONFIG_DUMP kernel?

I still don't know how to ask the SRM for info about interrupts (or to
interpret what it may already have told me).

Maybe I should just toss out the stupid IDE CD-ROM and install a SCSI
one so that I can turn off the IDE controller too?  I have no problem
accessing SCSI disks -- at least not so far with labeling and newfs....

A post long ago (mail-index.netbsd.org/port-alpha/2002/08/06/0000.html)
suggests that upgrading the firmware helped get 1.5.3 to recognize the
USB devices on a DS10.  Does anyone know if it might also solve the
"lost interrupt" problem?
