Does uhci work on macppc/big-endian?

I bought a cheap USB 2.0 PCI card (a Kingwin U2PCI-5), hoping to use
it on my Powermac G4 dual proc... however, while it attaches fine,
NetBSD says "device problem, disabling port n" whenever I plug in a
USB device.

Some simple Questions installing NetBSD3 on powerbook 3400c

G'day

I'm trying to install NetBSD 3 on my trusty old Powerbook 3400c and 
during the initial
process I come across few problems that I'm hoping someone be able to 
help me with:
(better if anyone who already done this can send me some tips :-)

I can access my Open Firmware prompt with no problem (which is version 
2.0.1)
However, I'm not certain if :
    -    the installation instructions say *I can* or *can't* boot 
directly from NetBSD ppc 3.0 cd

and if I can boot directly from the NetBSD cd,
    -    is it then possible to use the entire hdd without installing 
any MacOS partitions?

So far, I am unable to boot from the CD, but I can't tell if its due to 
these instructions listed at
http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/macppc/SystemDisk-tutorial/#The Boot device 
entry 
<http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/macppc/SystemDisk-tutorial/#The%20Boot%20device%20entry>

Basically, if I can boot with NetBSD cd, then I can use the pdisk to 
partition the hdd.

Also, the suggested partition structure is as shown below.
        HFS or HFS+   over 100 KB
        A/UX Root       at least 20 MB - not readable from MacOS.

Bad performance of bmac (bm0) interface (Rev.1 b&w G3) with 100baseTX?

Hello,

so I have my old Rev.1 b&w G3 working relatively nicely, thanks to
some tips from people here.  I have now set it up to be a dovecot mail
server, update dyndns, and act as an ftp, netatalk and samba server.

I now noticed some performance issues: from other Macs (PB G4) writing
to the server is absolutely abysmal in speed - using afp, smb, or ftp.
 We're talking in the order of 20kb/s.

While I originally suspected the problem being with the daemon
processes, I played with the bm0 media settings and noted that I get
much better performance when setting the interface down to 10baseT
(using ifconfig bm0 media 10baseT mediaopt full-duplex), in the order
of 200kb/s using ftp.

Has anyone else seen this type of problem?  Is it a buffer overrun
problem in the bmac driver? Any way I can get full performance using
100baseTX?

Thanks,
Joe.

AFAICT, uhci.c has proper byteswap ops where appropriate,
but I have not tested it for long time.

According to PR/11018 umass at uhci on my macppc worked once,
so there was some timing problem, not endianness.
Maybe now I should try it on sgimips and prep, but
I can't find my VIA uhci right now. (sorry)

Okay, now I dig out my uhci with VIA VT83C572
and put it on my O2, then it *sometimes* works
and sometimes doesn't:

Thanks for the response... in that case, I wonder what the problem is.
I've attached my kernel messages with uhcidebug=20 to PR kern/11018.

On 16 Jul 2004, someone mentioned that "FreeBSD has recently fixed the
same bug in -current ( http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=63987 )"
However, I looked at the FreeBSD's changes to uhci.c around that time,
and only saw merges from NetBSD.

Well, I thought I did... has the procedure for adding info to a PR
changed? I sent an email to gnats-bugs <at> netbsd.org with Subject:
kern/11018.

In any case, here's the msgbuf (lost the first few lines since the

Re: Some simple Questions installing NetBSD3 on powerbook 3400c

Hi,

Once upon a time I installed NetBSD on a PowerBook 3400c.  I never could get
the PowerBook to boot from the CD, so I installed the floppy drive in the
expansion bay, and booted from floppy.  You'll have to access the install
archives in another way.  I used an external CD ROM drive.

Booting a Powerbook G3 PDQ

Hi,

As of yesterday I was the proud owner of an old Powerbook G3 PDQ.  
This means that as of last night I was trying to install NetBSD
on said machine.

The boot command on the model support page,  boot ide1/ <at> 0:0,\OFWBOOT.XCF,
seems not to boot from the NetBSD 2.0 CD-Rom that I had sitting around.  
It did switch to a solid gray screen with a circle with a cross line
on it (think European no parking sign in gray), but that was it.

I tired a few other choices both from google searches and from
devalias open firmware commands, but, no luck.

Is there something special to boot this or should I just netboot
and install that way.

Thanks in advance!

cheers

bruce

Would this glue with powerd(8) ? Should it ?

Also, I'd like to try run the powerhooks on drivers on my G3/800 (as a
start). Where do I start ?

Thanks,
