I could solve one by rebuilding the kernel and I have a workaround for apm. This machine is a multi-boot with Slackware 7.1 , Win2k and OpenBSD. Linux and Win2k work ok. Hardware: Intel® Pentium® III Processor at 700 MHz SpeedStep-14.1" XGA Display 128 MB SDRAM (1 DIMM) 10 GB Hard Drive ATI 16 MB Video Card - ATI rage mobility M3 24X CD-ROM PCMCIA- 56K Capable GoldCard Global Modem - Psion Global Gold Card PCMCIA- 3Com 10/100 Ethernet NIC - Model 3CCFE575CT ---Problems Solely with 2.7---- Problem: 1) Booting from the official CD-ROM for OpenBSD 2.7 and/or with a floppy downloaded from ftp.openbsd.org. I get: bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+(51) BIOS, date 08/24/00 apm0 at bios0: Power management spec v1.2 fatal page fault in supervisor mode trap type 6 code 0 eip 3319 cs 38 eflags 10046 cr2 ea38 cpl 0 panic: trap The Operating system has halted Please press any key to reboot WORKAROUND - I boot in UKC(boot -c) and disable apm0. The OS installs fine. I would like to know if there is a fix or a better solution to this other than disabling APM in BIOS. Problem #2. I have a 3Com® Megahertz® 10/100 LAN CardBus PC Card Model 3CCFE575CT - Reference: http://buydirect.3com.com/iom_dcms/b2c/catalog/detail.html?sku=3CXFE575CT which is not being recognized by the kernel. I get this: pcmcia0 at pcic0 controller 0 socket 0 pcic_chip_socket_enable: status cpcic_wait_ready: ready never happened, status = 0c whereas it easily recognizes my Gold Card Modem. WorkAround/Solution - Rebuild kernel with cardbus support and change xl0 to 3c575 and install the kernel, it works... Problem #3 - (No solution yet) I do a xf86config and choose : 1) Mouse ps/2 mouse with /dev/pms0, 2) ATI RAGE mobility (option 87 in xf86config card setup), 3) 31.5 - 57.0; High Frequency SVGA, 1024x768 @ 70 Hz Screen (option 7), 4) generic modes... and start X, the machine completely hangs(and no X), and it does not respond to anything, except a hard reset. I tried different setting(same card), but same results. I did some research on it...and looks like my card is an ATI Rage Mobility M3 which is *supposed* to be supported by Xfree 4.0.1..I downloaded Xfree 4.0.1 and tried it...and well, its not working. If there is anyone who got this to work, I would be really intrested to know how. ---Problems Solely with 2.8---- Thanks to few guyz (Peter Strömberg and Camiel Dobbelaar) on misc who replied to my earlier mail about getting it work on 2.7-STABLE. I did build a new 2.7 kernel, it recognized my cards, but X still didn't work..it starts up, and the screen goes blank. The machine completely stops responding to any input/ping, so I thought I'd give 2.8-SNAPSHOT a run. Installing from floppy28C.fs from ftp.openbsd.org/pub/snapshots , (OpenBSD 2.8 RAMDISKC #80), it again fails and reboots with the message: bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+(51) BIOS, date 08/24/00 apm0 at bios0: Power management spec v1.2 fatal page fault in supervisor mode trap type 6 code 0 eip 3319 cs 38 eflags 10046 cr2 ea38 cpl 0 panic: trap The Operating system has halted Please press any key to reboot I boot -c and disable apm0 and it boots ok and finds the 3Com575 and Gold card Modem PCMCIA cards. I installed 2.8 GENERIC #398 through ftp, and after reboot when I boot I get this: bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+(4a) BIOS, date 08/24/00, BIOS 32 rev. 0 @ 0xfd890 apm0 at bios0: Power management spec v1.2 kernel: page fault trap, code = 0 Stopped at 0x3319: kernel : page fault trap, code = 0 Stopped at _db_read_bytes+0x10: movb 0(%ecx), %al ddb>print e0285e58 ddb>examine _db_read_bytes+0x10: 388018a Well, boot back and disable apm0 in UKC, now the OS boots fine, but when it gets to Starting Network, it hangs....I cannot ping the machine, and/or reset it. The only way is via hard reset(or taking the battery out, which is kindda getting loose now, as I am doing it every so often). I am still at loss to see what could be done now. I would appreciate all help. If you like, I can send a dmesg from the 2.8-Floppy boot, as that is only the one I can boot into.

Er, I don't think it is OpenBSD specifically, but a function of the old braindead BIOS standards that require a bootable partition (or more precisely the bootblocks) to be in the first 1024 (virtual) cylinders. > Suggestions or SOLs would be appreciated. Tey installing OpenBSD - does it actually bomb out ? - and then use OS-BS maybe to boot. My install has a FAT32 partition for the first 50% (6GB) and then OpenBSD in the second 50% with OS-BS - works fine. Can you spare a few more GB ? Use fips to shrink the FAT32 partitiion (if it is NTFS then I think you are on your own) and viola. FIPS can be found through almost any search engine - use FIPS2.

Here's what I posted last month: | Hard disk configuration -- This model Vaio has a 20GB disk, but the BIOS | reports the maximum (translated) cylinder number is 1023 instead of the | actual maximum of 2432. LBA numbers are correct, which is noted by | fdisk. Arranging the disk for OpenBSD install required manually running | fdisk with "-c 2432 -h 255 -s 63". Configuration was then successful | with my various FAT-32 and Linux partitions (created with Partition | Magic, and edited/tweaked with Ranish Partition Manager) properly set up | automatically in the OpenBSD disklabel. You should be able to get the actual translated cylinder max from boot time messages (or from /kern/msgbuf if you miss it scrolling by). I left DOS-2000 on its original FAT-32 partition at the start of the disk. However, I resized that FAT-32 with Partition Magic to bring its top end well below the (translated) 1024 cylinder boundary. That's still necessary (feh) to make OpenBSD's and Linux's root|boot partitions bootable on this machine.

Be aware that if you use some of either cards in Windows, you may not be able to change the channel there. We have five in the house, one Orinoco. The latest windows drivers are required for the Orinoco to work, and we couldn't find a way to change the channel, so we stuck the Orinoco into the router (changing it's channel to 3), and the old Wavelan Turbo (channel 3 default) in the windows laptop. If you have only one type of these cards, the channel is not an issue. -- Mike Stella Sr. Unix Engineer http://www.sector13.org/kazin mySEASONS.com "Nothing happens unless first a dream." --Carl Sandburg From owner-openbsd-mobile-outgoing@naughty.monkey.org Mon Nov 27 20:17:25 2000 Return-Path: Delivered-To: openbsd-mobile-outgoing@naughty.monkey.org Received: by naughty.monkey.org (Postfix, from userid 502) id C4F3210860C; Mon, 27 Nov 2000 20:17:24 -0500 (EST) Delivered-To: openbsd-mobile@monkey.org Received: by naughty.monkey.org (Postfix, from userid 1001) id DCA95108609; Mon, 27 Nov 2000 20:17:23 -0500 (EST) Received: from freek.com (freek.com [206.252.131.6]) by naughty.monkey.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5B12C108609 for ; Mon, 27 Nov 2000 20:15:06 -0500 (EST) Received: by freek.com (Postfix, from userid 501) id A248B2655; Mon, 27 Nov 2000 20:15:00 -0500 (EST) Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2000 20:15:00 -0500 From: josh To: openbsd-mobile@monkey.org Subject: Re: OpenBSD-mobile: New Orinoco default channel ID Message-ID: <20001127201500.A2951@freek.com> References: <20001127235703.93AF3207C1@citi.umich.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i In-Reply-To: <20001127235703.93AF3207C1@citi.umich.edu>; from rees@umich.edu on Mon, Nov 27, 2000 at 06:57:03PM -0500 Sender: openbsd-mobile-owner@monkey.org Precedence: bulk Jim Rees wrote... > FYI: I just bought a new Orinoco (formerly Wavelan) Gold 802.11 pc-card.
