Any ideas Hm, I haven't been able to set the busy bit, how did you manage to do that? It looks to me like some volatile bug, causing the driver not to read back the values directly from the card. But everything seems to be ok. By the way, did you notice that isr is 0x0018 before you reset the card? This is one of the strange things. Maybe it's because Alex didn't reboot his computer after reinserting the driver again. If this is the case, why doesn't the card enter active mode again before the driver has failed to activate it? - Ulf From owner-linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Tue Feb 2 06:51:42 1999 Received: from cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (cthulhu.engr.sgi.com [192.26.80.2]) by neteng.engr.sgi.com (980427.SGI.8.8.8/970903.SGI.AUTOCF) via ESMTP id GAA68713 for ; Tue, 2 Feb 1999 06:51:42 -0800 (PST) Return-Path: Received: (from majordomo-owner@localhost) by cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (980427.SGI.8.8.8/970903.SGI.AUTOCF) id GAA13038 for linux-list; Tue, 2 Feb 1999 06:51:04 -0800 (PST) mail_from (owner-linux@relay.engr.sgi.com) Received: from sgi.com (sgi.engr.sgi.com [192.26.80.37]) by cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (980427.SGI.8.8.8/970903.SGI.AUTOCF) via ESMTP id GAA14548 for ; Tue, 2 Feb 1999 06:51:02 -0800 (PST) mail_from (nachtfalke@usa.net) Received: from mail.urz.uni-wuppertal.de (mail.urz.uni-wuppertal.de [132.195.64.1]) by sgi.com (980327.SGI.8.8.8-aspam/980304.SGI-aspam: SGI does not authorize the use of its proprietary systems or networks for unsolicited or bulk email from the Internet.) via ESMTP id GAA06545 for ; Tue, 2 Feb 1999 06:51:01 -0800 (PST) mail_from (nachtfalke@usa.net) Received: from ganymede.priv (root@isdn97.dialin.uni-wuppertal.de [132.195.23.97]) by mail.urz.uni-wuppertal.de (8.9.1a/8.9.1) with ESMTP id PAA21006304 for ; Tue, 2 Feb 1999 15:50:28 +0100 (MET) Received: (from nachtfalke@localhost) by ganymede.priv (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA01579 for linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com; Tue, 2 Feb 1999 15:51:47 +0100 From: Alexander Graefe Date: Tue, 2 Feb 1999 15:51:47 +0100 To: linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Subject: What kernel to use to install RH on a R4400 ?

I think we should ask them kindly then: Does anyone at SGI know how the HAL2 works? We can't get it working correctly, it doesn't come back to normal state after the reset. Even if we write 0x0018 to isr, to enable the chip, it still shows 0x0000. It's certainly off because we can't write to the indirect registers in this state If we don't reset the HAL2, leaving it the way it is when after playing the boot sound, we can't write to the indirect registers. The busy bit doesn't go off. The only thing which works correctly is reading the version register. - Ulf From owner-linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Tue Feb 2 10:23:20 1999 Received: from cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (cthulhu.engr.sgi.com [192.26.80.2]) by neteng.engr.sgi.com (980427.SGI.8.8.8/970903.SGI.AUTOCF) via ESMTP id KAA48640 for ; Tue, 2 Feb 1999 10:23:20 -0800 (PST) Return-Path: Received: (from majordomo-owner@localhost) by cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (980427.SGI.8.8.8/970903.SGI.AUTOCF) id KAA63346 for linux-list; Tue, 2 Feb 1999 10:22:45 -0800 (PST) mail_from (owner-linux@relay.engr.sgi.com) Received: from sgidal.dallas.sgi.com (sgidal.dallas.sgi.com [169.238.80.130]) by cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (980427.SGI.8.8.8/970903.SGI.AUTOCF) via SMTP id KAA93340 for ; Tue, 2 Feb 1999 10:22:43 -0800 (PST) mail_from (chad@roctane.dallas.sgi.com) Received: from roctane.dallas.sgi.com by sgidal.dallas.sgi.com via ESMTP (950413.SGI.8.6.12/911001.SGI) id MAA02105; Tue, 2 Feb 1999 12:20:54 -0600 Received: from roctane.dallas.sgi.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by roctane.dallas.sgi.com (980427.SGI.8.8.8/980728.SGI.AUTOCF) via ESMTP id KAA17250; Tue, 2 Feb 1999 10:20:54 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <36B74206.8E63A799@roctane.dallas.sgi.com> Date: Tue, 02 Feb 1999 12:20:54 -0600 From: Chad Carlin Reply-To: chad@sgi.com Organization: Silicon Graphics Inc.

I would like do a clean install of IRIX on an Indy, but the Indy does not have a CDROM. I have a linux box, running RedHat 5.1, with a CDROM located on the same network and was wondering if there is a way to mount the install CDs on the linux box so that the Indy can read it. What I've read is that there is a read-only efs module floating around, but I can not find anywhere to download it. The only other reference was efsmod 0.6, but it said that it is not usable on 2.1.x kernels of linux. Any help would be appreciated. After a re-install of IRIX is completed, I could help by doing a linux load on it, but I'm a newbie to the SGI/IRIX world, and may need a little help. thankyou, chad From owner-linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Thu Feb 4 06:07:30 1999 Received: from cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (cthulhu.engr.sgi.com [192.26.80.2]) by neteng.engr.sgi.com (980427.SGI.8.8.8/970903.SGI.AUTOCF) via ESMTP id GAA80927 for ; Thu, 4 Feb 1999 06:07:30 -0800 (PST) Return-Path: Received: (from majordomo-owner@localhost) by cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (980427.SGI.8.8.8/970903.SGI.AUTOCF) id GAA13023 for linux-list; Thu, 4 Feb 1999 06:06:39 -0800 (PST) mail_from (owner-linux@relay.engr.sgi.com) Received: from sgi.com (sgi.engr.sgi.com [192.26.80.37]) by cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (980427.SGI.8.8.8/970903.SGI.AUTOCF) via ESMTP id GAA29951 for ; Thu, 4 Feb 1999 06:06:37 -0800 (PST) mail_from (mikehill@hgeng.com) Received: from calvin.tor.onramp.ca (calvin.tor.onramp.ca [204.225.88.15]) by sgi.com (980327.SGI.8.8.8-aspam/980304.SGI-aspam: SGI does not authorize the use of its proprietary systems or networks for unsolicited or bulk email from the Internet.) via SMTP id GAA06849 for ; Thu, 4 Feb 1999 06:06:36 -0800 (PST) mail_from (mikehill@hgeng.com) Received: (qmail 16324 invoked from network); 4 Feb 1999 14:06:33 -0000 Received: from imail.hgeng.com (HELO bart.hgeng.com) (199.246.72.233) by mail.onramp.ca with SMTP; 4 Feb 1999 14:06:33 -0000 Received: by BART with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2232.9) id <1D6SYC76>; Thu, 4 Feb 1999 09:14:55 -0500 Message-ID: From: Mike Hill To: linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Subject: New Look for the Web Site?

I think I was one of those people; sorry for not responding earlier. (Insert generic whiny excuse about travelling and mail backlog and stuff.) The state of the EFS code in the linus CVS tree is this: - prior to the most recent kernel merge (to 2.1.131), the code in fs/efs was able to mount and read EFS partitions, provided that they did not involve indirect extents. Symlinks and stuff all worked, although building as a module did not. - once I merged to 2.1.131 (and then checked in the EFS code), I started to see very odd behaviour; specifically, the inode-mode checks for directory/file/socket/etc. were failing in ``impossible'' ways. I can post more about that later, but if you've got an EFS partition handy, just build with -DDEBUG_EFS and try to mount it. You'll see the error message in question. On the bright side, module-loading works well. - I have efslook code here as well, and was in the process of comparing its indirect-extent algorithm to my own when I did the 2.1.131 merge of my code, so maybe once I get past that inode-mode problem I can finish it up?

As we are porting LINUX to the Indigo2 to build a Beowulf cluster - we would like to use 100Mb ethernet cards instead of the standard 10Mb. In contacting SGI about this, we were pointed to Qualix - a company which manufactures these cards. But the price for this is rather steep - between $700 - $800 per card! Does anyone on this list know where there might be a cheaper source for these cards? I can live with 10Mb if I have to, but it sure would be nice to have that 100Mb communication!

Adding this to egcs-1.0.2/gcc/config/mips/linux.h at the bottom should fix things: /* Attach a special .ident directive to the end of the file to identify the version of GCC which compiled this code. The format of the .ident string is patterned after the ones produced by native svr4 C compilers. */ #undef IDENT_ASM_OP #define IDENT_ASM_OP ".ident" /* Output #ident as a .ident. */ #undef ASM_OUTPUT_IDENT #define ASM_OUTPUT_IDENT(FILE, NAME) \ fprintf (FILE, "\t%s\t\"%s\"\n", IDENT_ASM_OP, NAME); I'll test this and make a real patch later. Until that -fno-ident is the silver bullet to avoid such sick effects. IRIX people: I think the same bug also hits IRIX, RISC/os and others, it's probably as long in gcc / egcs as I can think back. At least for some of the affected targets the above fix can not be used.

A search for `100 ethernet eisa' in cnet gave several cards, 3 of them around $200. Also, Qualix also lists one `for HP' at $495. Fernando D.

As long as the drivers in drivers/sgi aren't usefull for other architectures, I would leave them, where they are. There is enough different stuff sitting in drivers/char, which should be sorted out and stuffed into better subdirectories. I'm even not sure, whether my decision to put newport_con into drivers/video was the right one. But at least drivers/video contains only driver dedicated to the same thing,which is to provide a console. Thomas. -- This device has completely bogus header.

Yup. The thing is the machine's actually working well, but you don't have the graphics console to show anything. That kernel doesn't have the ability to handle serial consoles. :( I really need to rebuild a kernel for installation that includes R4400 support and serial console.

While it works on revision 3 NG1s, it has problems on revision 6 boards. On these boards the cursor is nearly a character off to left from the position it should be. Yesterday I remembered, that I had to tweak the X value for the cursor, because it didn't work on my rev 3 board (you guessed it, the cursor was off to the right). But the docs of the VC2 say, that the value I use isn't correct. So I guess, when I change it to the right value the cursor will work perfectly on the rev 6 boards, but not on rev 3s. To make a long story short, how do I get the revision of the newport ? Thomas. -- This device has completely bogus header.

The ld core dump bug in binutils 2.8.1 has been fixed in newer releases of which we didn't yet publish crosscompiler binaries, mostly because those of use who use crosscompilers only use it to build the kernel and kernel build aren't affected. Whatever, the solution is to rip the patches from a current binutils-2.8.1 srpm package from linus.linux.sgi.com somewhere in /pub/linux/redhat/5.2/ and use them for rebuilding the cross-binutils.

After the one in the big hardhat tar.gz file didn't work (no R4400SC support) I hit the mailing list archive, found the pointer to vmlinux-2.1.131 (which didn't work because it didn't have NFS), noticed also vmlinux-sc-indy-2.1.116 (also didn't work, probably also no NFS), and tried a couple of others while going through the archive. vmlinux-indy-990205 got a little farther, but complained it couldn't make a device node in the ram disk or some such thing.

Somebody shoot me. I went through and reinstalled linux on my Indy. I thought that I screwed up and somehow did not get modutils-x.x.x-x because I chose to install the wrong package set. I think I was wrong there too. Problem: - modutils-x.x.x-x does not get installed by the base installer. (or I don't know which one it goes with) - Can't get this package over the network because if I try to use my network interface, the system panics.

Why is it trying to execute? According to rpm -qf /sbin/modprobe on my intel-Linux system, this executable gets installed with modutils. I am jumping to a conclusion that this error message is telling me why networking is not running properly. More specifically, I have tried rlogin, telnet, ftp and nfs. All of these panic the system. I grabbed ftp://linus.linux.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/hardhat/5.2/RPMS/mipseb/modutils-2.1.121-4.mipseb.rpm and put that in with the other rpms in my installation nfs filesystem. It didn't get picked up during my nfsroot install. I guess I need to look at some sort of installation script to find where it get's it's list of packages to install.

I've gotten hardhat installed by grabbing the latest kernel image from the test directory. Everything is running nice, but now that it's alive, I have a few questions. First, has the swap problem been worked out of the latest kernels? (be hard to put the beast to work with no swap) My console doesn't work, the log shows lots of getty HANGUP signals and then init stopping the process. I'd like to compile a kernel that's configured for what I'm running(no hanging around waiting for Bootp to time out and such) Where can I get the latest kernel source? (base 2.2.1 blows up impressivly when trying to compile :) Related to the above: How do I get support for the second ethernet and all the other SCSI adapters? Is there anyway I can dump the Irix drive? As it is now, the 1 Gig drive is used to hold vmlinux, that's it. Is milo something that works? I've managed to get Vnc working on the unit, so I can so virtual X stuff, very cool and fun. (wasn't a bad compile, just a few things to adjust) I think that covers it for now, the Challenge is a fun toy, and under unixbench comes out close to my P120 Laptop.

(base 2.2.1 blows up impressivly when trying to compile :) You can get it from the CVS on ftp.linux.sgi.com. But there are some minor patches missing, which I've used for the test kernels. I'll check the stuff in next weekend and create a source tarball. > Related to the above: How do I get support for the second ethernet and all > the other SCSI adapters? If the second ethernet is the same as the first one, it should just be a matter of adding the necessary probing stuff. For the other SCSI adapter your out of luck. I do have a datasheet for the wd33c95, but I doubt it's possible to write a driver with just this information. The wd33c95 is a scsi script processor (for me it looks a little bit like the NCR53C7xx/8xx chips). So we would need a script first, but I don't have any idea how write one, because this information is missing in the datasheet. > Is there anyway I can dump the Irix drive?

I've put this project on ice since I've got to get Linux running perfectly _stable_ on some VME thing before I can work on something else again. This is now my ultimate hacking priority due to ``other opportunities''. In any case, the code to read ext2 filesystems from ARC supported block devices is mostly done; it'll need to be tested and debugged. Wrapping this code with something like an ELF load is going to be simple.

Some tar programs (IRIX's in particular) screws these up. You can re-make these devices under Linux/x86 or IRIX - both work fine. If re-making from under IRIX then 'disk' gid = 6, and 'root' gid = 0 = sys under IRIX. Other possibilities are that you're running on hardware not well supported by HardHat (new kernels are available) or the nfsroot procedure isn't working well enough.
