I have found the bug. Executing the suspend instruction seems to change
the TLB entries, if I save the TLB entries right before this instruction
and restore them afterwards the device will suspend and wake up like it
should.

For now I have written functions saveTLB and restoreTLB in
locore_machdep.S and use them like this in hpcapm.c:
	saveTLB();
	__asm(".set noreorder");
	__asm(".word	" ___STRING(VR_OPCODE_SUSPEND));
	__asm("nop");
	__asm("nop");
	__asm("nop");
	__asm("nop");
	__asm("nop");
	__asm(".set reorder");
	restoreTLB();

Is there a better place than locore_machdep.S to put these functions? Or
are there functions doing the same already in the kernel sources? I

1.6.2 errors

Anyone else have issues with this?

I've loaded it again and again (about 20 some odd times) and every time, 
the comp.tgz gives me header errors somewhere in the middle.  Everything 
else installs fine.

Doesn't help if you can't compile however.  Not sure if it's because I'm 
running a hitachi 1G microdrive, since I have more issues with it than my 
CF cards.

IBM Z50

I am wondering if anyone can help me.  I am wanting to run the hpcmips on an
IBM Z50.  I don't have a lot of unix experience and would like to find
someone running it who might give me an image of the disk drive to boot.

Thank you,

Jerry Froelich MD

I could probably make an image of my 128M CF card - I did apply some of the 
techniques from the "NetBSD on CF" document, so it's mounted readonly.  The 
biggest problem is finding a place to put the 128M file :-)

(It's also midly out of date, I should upgrade to 1.6.2)

Anyone else have a more up-to-date one?

Joe.

fdisk and Magicstor microdrive

Recently bought an IBM z50 workpad off of ebay after being told there
was a NetBSD port.
Originally set it up using a 256mb CF card.  After some gyrations to get
the partitions correct works great.

Now I want to upgrade to a 2.2gb MagicStor microdrive for obvious
reasons.  However, I cannot seem to fdisk it correctly.  I have tried
from NetBSD on the workpad and from my Mandrake laptop in both cases
fdisk runs normally but doesn't actually alter the partition table.

Have googled the subject to death with no clues.

Thanks in advance!

Bob

i think what i did was to create the msdos partition on the second fdisk 
partition, and set the first as netbsd. this caused wince to correctly 
format the disk so that i could finally disklabel it properly. whenever 
i tried to just change the size of the msdos partition and have the 
netbsd one start at the end of it, when i booted into ce it still 
thought it had the entire disk and wanted to format it all.

  I've seen this too; CE must check the fs instead of the partition map
for the size if the fs appears to be valid.  If you zero a few bytes at
the beginning of the partition it will recognize the new size.

1.6.2 on Workpad z50

Hello,

    What is the current status of 1.6.2 on the z50s?

I installed it on mine and was wondering what I should know, also are there
any guides available for getting wireless working, I have a ZoomAir 4005
(awi driver) that is recognized but "not configured".  Anyone have a kernel
specifically for the z50 like many have distributed for 1.6.1?

  One last thing, is there a mirror available of the z50 section of the
Never Beige site?  it was very helpful and I have not been able to find a
mirror of it.
