non-media hardware failure

I am trying re-install 1.6.1 on to qube with the restore cd( can't
find a 2.0 restore cd ) and I am getting non-media hardware failure
when booting my pc from the cd. The qube just sits there saying its
Net booting.

This has been report before on this list but I didn't see any responses.

I was able to check out the link you gave me and it seems that the
kernels there are gziped already (cool) i think I'll give
netbsd-GENERIC.gz a test run

i have an existing OPENBSD box i can try to netboot from there and do the 

mke2fs -r 0 -O none /dev/≤whatever-id-my-hard-drive-will-be>

i think the flashrom on the cobalt xtr is around 1mb i think (got to
check the cobalt Specs doc i have) but .. I'll give it a try and see

Qube2, 1.6.1 and a Soundblaster..

Hi All,

I know this has been asked before, but...

I've fitted an SB Live! to my Qube and compiled a kernel with:

emuxki* at pci? dev ? function ?
audio*  at emuxki?

no problem there, dmesg gives:

emuxki0 at pci0 dev 10 function 0: Creative Labs SBLive! EMU 10000 
(audio multimedia, revision 0x07)
emuxki0: interrupting at irq 9
emuxki0: unknown (0x00000000) codec; no 3D stereo
audio0 at emuxki0: full duplex, mmap, independent

so, I assume that is all OK. However, I'm unable to make the required 
/dev/audio entries, all I get is the following..

root <at> workbox# ./MAKEDEV audio0
audio0: unknown device

I read the only posts I can find (all 4 of them!) and it seems no-one 
has gone much further. Is sound supported at all on the Qube2?

Kind Regards,
Pete.

Re: non-media hardware failure

Well I don't know what this error is but I managed to get around it. 
I have two drives in my pc I was booting from. For some reason if the
dvd was set as master I was getting the error. I switched the cd rom
to master and now it works. *shrug*

So netbsd 1.6.1 is back installed and now I have a new problem I can't
seem to ping anything. I can connect to the qube just fine but when I
try to ping anything from the qube it just sits there even localhost.
PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
Must be some network problem but I don't understand how I can connect
to it but can't connect out ?

Any ideas ?

Re: Qube2, 1.6.1 and a Soundblaster..

are you running -current?
and or, are you running a current userland, or  <at>  least a userland that
was compiled from source that supports sound?
(when my userland didnt match my kernel, it created issues)

from my 2.0 and -current  MAKEDEV  script
audio)
        makedev audio0 audio1 audio2 audio3
        lndev sound0 sound
        lndev audio0 audio
        lndev mixer0 mixer
        lndev audioctl0 audioctl
        ;;
this next part is in my 2.0 MAKEDEV script, but not my -current MAKEDEV script

        unit=${i#audio}
        audio=audio$unit
        sound=sound$unit
        mixer=mixer$unit

Re: non-media hardware failure

ok I have an experiment for everybody. Change the date on your qube to
any before 1970 then try to ping 127.0.0.1

For some reason it just sits there and doesn't even send any packets. 
Must be a bug somewhere in the networking.

Just thought I was would post this in case anybody runs into this
problem in the future

net-snmp & ksyms woes

Hi,

When I try to start snmpd, I get the following errors :

Jun 10 05:52:43 pickle snmpd[20689]: kvm_openfiles: Device not configured 
Jun 10 05:52:43 pickle snmpd[20689]: kvm_openfiles: /dev/ksyms: Device
not configured

I took a look on the usenet and the only entries I've found were about
a missing "pseudo-device   ksyms" line in the kernel config, which I
have.. my device node exists too.

Any ideas?

-Francis

NetBSD 2.0.x: Raq1 Clock Issues / LCD Shutdown Message

Hello list,

NetBSD does not initialize the timers of the Raq1 correctly and the clock
will show anything, but a correct time.
In 2003 Jason Meinzer posted a patch to the list, but it seems it has never
been committed:
<http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-cobalt/2003/08/11/0000.html>
Anyhow, this patch solved the clock problems on my Raq1, and seems to have
no ill effects on Raq2 (see Jason's post).
Could anyone please commit this bit?

Some commit messages by tsutsui indicate, that there has been some work
done in HEAD, but I don't know, if this also solves the time-keeping problem
on Raq1 and I cannot test these, I currently can not try to run HEAD on my
Raq1.

Dennis Chernoivanov posted a patch for the kernel, to indicate a clean
shutdown on the lcd:
<http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-cobalt/2003/10/01/0000.html>
IMHO, this would also ne a nice thing to have, maybe this could be commited,
too.

I'm using these two patches on a pretty recent NetBSD 2.0 (kernel build on
Thu May 19 04:02:02 CEST 2005 from cvs updated sources) without any issues.

Best Regards,
Oliver

Hmm, could you try this kernel or patch for netbsd-2?

I tried the binary kernel, and the Raq1 hung hard :(
