Good question. More delving into the Crynwr (Assembler!) source should
|
|
turn up the answer. I do know that the memory address range for the NIC
|
|
is configured with the PS/2 "Reference Disk". I have it setup for 16KB
|
|
access from C8000-CBFFF, and 8KB ROM from CC000-CDFFF. It seems that the
|
|
Linux SMC and WD drivers have yet to put it there...
|
|
|
|
>Please include the exact message -- is that the Tx status register or the

I am pretty sure it was the TX register. I will nab the message out of
|
|
the syslog/debug files tomorrow, and post it here.
|
|
|

|
|
|

Glad to hear that. Further delving into the Crynwr driver shows that it
|
|
has code to read one of the NIC registers, which has a bit indicating
|
|
that it is on an MCA machine. The Crynwr code then proceeds to program a
|
|
bit in configuration register 5 (0x04 I think) that somehow enables NIC
|
|
interrupts onto the MCA bus. Without doing so, the MCA bus will
|
|
apparently not see IRQ's from the board.
|
|
|
|
>Is the ethernet address correctly detected?
|
|
|
|
Unsure.
|
|
|
|
>Are you receiving any packets at all? Even errors? Check /proc/net/dev.
|
|
|
|
No packets are seen at all to date. However, I am going to switch from
|
|
the 1.0.9 kernel to 1.1.xx tomorrow, and start over with this
|
|
debugging. I have *tried* defining EI_DEBUG to > 2, but do not see any
|
|
messages in /var/adm/syslog or debug...
|
|
|
|
>What addresses can the board end up at?
|
|
|
|
The usual - C0000, CC000, D0000, etc. IT is configured through PS/2 setup.

Hello all,

Does anybody have the auto-login script for starting TERM?

I have the one from Michael O'Reilly, but it does not work

I'm not sure abotu Linux, but i know many Unices reserve about that much

Ah, this one I'm pretty sure i knwo the answer to. When thge system goes

Some editors (such as vi) know how to set it up so that a version can be

Take the editor of your choice and delete all the pages you've already

This kind of logic works in politics, but nto in debate, law, or

Stahlman yourself with a label he woudl deney, and then decry himfor YOUR

interface (something his OTHER group- the Leauge for Programmer Freedom

Subject: Patch to make MSS work on PSS sndcards
|
|
Date: 1 Oct 1994 16:30:25 GMT
|
|
|
|
Hi all. Here is a small patch to make a PSS soundcard (like the Cardinal
|
|
DSP-16 that I have) initalize properly so one can use the MSS chipset on it
|
|
in Linux without booting MesSy-DOG first. I've used it for a few days now
|
|
without problem, and I sent it to Hannu so that hopefully the next release
|
|
will be fixed if his new PSS driver is not ready by then.
|
|
|
|
When you configure your sound support, make sure to add BOTH PSS and MSS
|
|
support. There is a file in the sound dir that will tell you how to do that
|
|
(I don't remember which one). The PSS card's MSS support will be initalized
|
|
to what you specify for MSS I/O address, DMA and IRQ. When you boot the
|
|
new kernel, you should see something like...
|
|
|
|
Init PSS/WSS addr 530 IRQ 1 DMA 7
|
|
snd11 <PSS-ESC614> at 0x220 irq 10 drq 3
|
|
snd10 <MS Sound System (AD1848)> at 0x530 irq 7 drq 1
|
|
|
|
Have fun!

Subject: Linux archives mirror map

|
|
|
Is there any one "official" site where any or all of the following are kept?
|
|
|
|
Documentation
|
|
Source/binaries for applications
|
|
Source/binaries for kernel development
|
|
|
|
I'm trying to set up a mirror at my site, and I need to know where to fetch
|
|
everything. I believe the home site for Slackware is ftp.cdrom.com, and the
|
|
home site for Debian is sunsite.unc.edu
|
|
|
|
However, the various source, binaries and especially documentation seem to be
|
|
different at each of tsx-11, sunsite and funet. I guess I'm mostly interested
|
|
in where the developers in each of those categories put their stuff.
|
|
|
|
Can anybody help me out on this?
