Old skiload and kernel binaries?

Does anyone happen to have an old skiload and GENERIC.SKI kernel around?

If so, please mail it to me off-list. I am trying to find out if ski is
broken or I broke something in skiload (or the kernel).

Thanks,

Martin

Anyone running ia64?

Hi folks,

I just aquired real ia64 hardware and want to use it with NetBSD - but there
are a few things missing in the current toolchain, so even a build.sh tools
fails - probably easy to fix (I already started), but there is one gotcha:

I need the output of a few (probably two) configure scripts when running
on ia64 hardware (any Unix-a-like OS would do, FreeBSD or Linux for example).

The machine I got is not supported by FreeBSD (I get as far as:

FreeBSD/ia64 EFI boot, Revision 3.1
Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf 
/boot/kernel/kernel data=0xfef1f0+0x82710 syms=[0x8+0xb1120+0x8+0xa62a9]
\
Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]...               
Entering /boot/kernel/kernel at 0x9ffc000000010500...

... and then nothing more happens - maybe they have hardwired the serial
console port or whatever.

Debian's installer (even the network one) dies early, complaining it can't
load any suitable module to support the CD drive.

The disks have some ancient RHEL version installed, but I do not have the
root password or enough Linux knowledge to hack it 

Anyway, is anyone running some unix-alike OS on ia64 hardware and could
provide me with configure output? If so, please contact me off-list.

pchb <at> acpi support for ia64

Hi! Jukka and all,

Please support pchb <at> acpi for ia64.

pchb@... include pchb_acpi.c.  And some fixes.

  1. Call acpi_pcidev_scan() before acpi_rescan1().
     It scan the PCI Root Bridge and obtain PCI Bus number.

  2. Add aa_dmat and aa_dmat64 to acpi's attach_args.

  3. Pass through it, if PCI Root Bridge not have valid ADR.

My zx6000 boot log:
  ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/kiyohara/ia64/typescript-20100628

I will commit pchb <at> acpi on the next weekend if you do not have the
problem. With the pci support for ia64.

By the way, The debug message of ACPI is very noisy.  Can I start
more quietly?  X-<

    :
  [ACPI Debug]  Integer 0x00000000
  [ACPI Debug]  String [0x21] "PARS.GPTR: Getting SERIAL DEV Ptr"
  [ACPI Debug]  String [0x1F] "PARS.GUID: evaluating for COMP1"
    :
  [ACPI Debug] ...

And, a lot of PCI devices will be added to ia64 GENERIC soon by me.  

pkgsrc/wip/ski heads up.

Hi,

Just to say I finally got the ncurses version of pkgsrc/wip/ski
compiling and running from source [1]. I haven't tested a GENERIC.SKI
kernel in years, so I'll see if it can be loaded and run by this
native compiled ski.

Just a heads up.

Cheers,

cpu's detail information

Hi! all,

I put the message of ia64.

  ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/kiyohara/ia64/typescript-20100515

cpu(4) of ia64 prints Ids only.  Moreover it prints early more detail
informations.

  CPU: McKinley (1000.00-MHz Itanium 2)
    Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Revision = 7
    Features = 0x1

    :

  cpu0 at mainbus0: ProcessorID 0, Id 0, Eid 0
  cpu1 at mainbus0: ProcessorID 1, Id 1, Eid 0

However in other ports, cpu prints more detail informations.

  (eg. amd64)
    cpu0 at mainbus0: AMD 686-class, 1994MHz, id 0xf4a
    cpu0: AMD PowerNow! Technology 2000 MHz
    cpu0: available frequencies (MHz): 800 1600 1800 2000
     :

Does the NetBSD user like which?

  My image:
    cpu0 at mainbus0: ProcessorID 0, Id 0, Eid 0

ia64 patch (Re: ask 'root device: ?')

Hi! all,

I will commit this patch at next week.

  http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-ia64/2009/06/18/msg000102.html

Most influences below arch/ia64.  However, please note that there is a
correction that influences com <at> acpi.
Please teach to me if you have a different idea.

Thanks

ask 'root device: ?'

Hi! all,

My zx6000 asks root device to me!!!

You can try to your IA-64 machine.

  1. Checkout current's sources at 20090615.

  2. Patch.
     ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/kiyohara/ia64/ia64-20090615.diff

  3. Also you need possibly.
     http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2009/04/14/msg009018.html

  4. Build your kernel and below the stand directory.

  5. Create image to /tmp/cd.img.
    # dd if=/dev/zero of=boot.img count=40960
    # vnconfig -c vnd0 boot.img
    # newfs_msdos -F 12 -S 512 -h 4 -o 0 -s 40960 -u 16 /dev/rvnd0d
    # mount -t msdos /dev/vnd0d /mnt
    # mkdir -p /mnt/efi/boot

    # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/ia64/compile/GENERIC/netbsd /mnt

    # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/ia64/stand/ia64/efi/loader.efi /mnt/
    # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/ia64/stand/ia64/efi/loader.efi /mnt/efi/boot

    # umount /mnt
    # vnconfig -u vnd0

next target is acpi_machdep.c

Hi! Kochi-san and all,

I attached acpi0 with Kochi-san's bus_space.
Maybe needs acpi_machdep.c.  It is null-function now. 

I fix same bugs.
  - The struct kmutex.
  - The variable 'ci' don't allocate on stack in ia64_init().  
  - Forgot mutex_exit() in pmap.c.

I will make new patch after a few days.

Thanks,

  P.S. port-ia64 want more hackers always.  
       And I am starting to bye-bye fw_port.h. (MI)

Hi!

I succeed to load and jump to kernel on my zx6000.

I have a server.

Mr. Ia64,
	I have recently acquired an HP rx2600 dual itanium 2 
server.  How can I use this machine to help with porting 
efforts?
