I just put an NCR 810 based SCSI controller in my machine and
I can't seem to get ther kernel to use it. It works fine in DOS, but
NetBSD doesn't seem to be able to use it. When I bought it I was told
it was an ASUS card, but I fail to find the brand name on the docs.
The model number is JDC5010 if anyone can recognize it. It is
completely stripped (no BIOS on board). The motherboard is an
AIR 486 VP from early August 1994, and has BIOS support for the
card which is what I used with DOS.
The below are messages from both NetBSD-1.0 release and
current as of May 15, 1995. The SCSI card is in PCI slot 0, and I
have an ATI Mach 64 in PCI slot 0. THe only other card is an Multi
I/O card with IDE controller, Floppy controller, 2 16550s, and 1
parallel port. I have always gotten the message about the ie0 being
there, but have never had any trouble.
The snapshot kernel is not affected by setting the IRQ for the
slot in the motherboard BIOS and I don't have an exact copy of what
happens with the release kernel when I tell the motherboard BIOS that
the card should be using IRQ 10 (or any of the other ones I tried
setting it to) because it hangs after giving this message:
/* Ten finger copy */
pci_map_mem: memory mapped at c0000000-c0000fff
pci_map_int: no mapping for pin A at irq10
CACHE TEST FAILED: host wrote 1, ncr read -1.
CACHE TEST FAILED: ncr wrote 2, host read 1.
CACHE TEST FAILED: ncr wrote 2, read back -1.
CACHE INCORRECTLY CONFIGURED.
/* Hangs */
This is with a NetBSD-1.0 release kernel and nothing set
in the motherboard's BIOS:
