I have posted a similar message to the port-i386 list with the
issues relavent to it.
I now have the 386 attached to an 8 port AUI concentrator with
my Sun4/260. While I never did get them to talk on thin wire, this
solution is working. The 386 is building it's world now over NFS, and
performance is reasonable. However;
Ethernet seems broken in two ways. The ie0 (bulitin ethernet)
spits out ethernet underruns to the point of being unusable. It will
ping and ping -f fine, but a 'dir' under ftp will just hang. The ie1
(VME ethernet card) seems to work fine. However, I get this report
occaisionally:
Mar 15 01:35:19 repeat /netbsd: stray interrupt ipl 5 pc=f80166e0 npc=f80166e4 psr=8000c3<S,PS>
I had never seen this message before the second ethernet
card. It's config line is:
Mar 11 23:49:06 repeat /netbsd: ie1 at vmes0 addr 0xffe88000 vec 0x75 pri 5 address 08:00:20:06:ac:a6, type multibus/vme
I am also still having problems with my archive-viper 150 meg
drive. I'd like to hear if anyone else is. The symptom I'm seeing is
'SCSI bus reset' happening a few times, then the tape read failing.
Dave.
