Does it fix a current known bug > etc? Hello! O.K. If the size of the region which should remapped are not a multiply of PAGE_SIZE, then always the last pages were not remapped. I would call it a bug and maybe this has caused some other problems. But there is still another problem with kernel_set_cachemode, if the beginnig address of the region is also not a multiply of PAGE_SIZE, then in some cases the last page will also not remaped. I'll fix it if I have the time. Ciao, Renè |

But is there any other or standard method to get some mem uncached? Ciao, Renè |

Fred H. also who did a lot of work on this driver My first tests, mke2fs and mount a couple of partitions worked. Started a copy to one of the mounted partitions, this worked for a while then hung up my machine. Oddly enough in much the same way as the A4091 does, works for some variable amount of time then hangs. I worked on the A4091 trying to fix it but never did, is it possible the problem is elsewhere in the SCSI system, maybe soecific to A4000 ? Ken. |

I have tested the 2 scsi hard disks and i was able to mount and read them. To mount the CD-rom is still not possible because it gives me kernel oops and segmentation faults. If needed i can collect these and send in a next mail. In the next days i shall try to install & start Linux fom the Quantum hd. I'll send the test results. Ciao e grazie. Giorgio Terzi |

There is also one other thing to say: The Plextor CD-Driver spins up slowly and this is a firmware problem( I got the updated firmware file but i haven't the firmware writer for Amiga or APUS :( ) , from the Amigaside it works also slowly spinning up and needs more time than IDE (sigh!) to be ready after a diskchange. > > > In the next days i shall try to install & start Linux fom the Quantum hd. > > I'll send the test results. > > I'm curious...

But I'm wondering about the line: floating point used in kernel (task=c4d56000, pc=c021dd80) and there is definitively no floating point used in the driver! Does anybody know the meaning of this line? > There is also one other thing to say: > The Plextor CD-Driver spins up slowly and this is a firmware > problem( I got the updated firmware file but i haven't the firmware > writer for Amiga or APUS :( ) , > from the Amigaside it works also slowly spinning up and needs > more time than IDE (sigh!) to be ready after a diskchange. I think this problem has nothing todo with slowly spinning up drives. Ciao, Renè |

Does > anybody know the meaning of this line? wierd!!! i've had some problems when being online....with kernel oopses and that same 'explanation' to the crash. PPP is usually the culprit :-( havent logged problems yet as i've seen no obvious pattern. alan |

Hello, Does anyone else see this slowing down of TCP communication that I see when I have a drive connected (not mounted) to the UW controller. ifconfig has trouble bringing up eth0 on booting, sometimes it manages to and it works for awhile then pauses for awhile etc... It looks like the my ethernet card gives up for a while, then comes back. Ken. |

I have also an ethernet card mounted , but is connected to a DSL modem. This type of communication is relatively slow (256 kbits) so i haven't seen slowdowns. The only thing i can say is that ( in my case) the ethernet card shares the same interrupt (12) with the UW controller and with an IDE card but it don't seems to be a problem. Regards, G.Terzi |

I have made a new installation (now my A4K has 3 Debian installations :) ) with Debian boot-floppies without problems : formatting , mounting, writing & reading all has gone right. One other step will be to test it with DAT tape archivers but I shall test it only after August 26 because of holidays finished :( and i have the DAT drive at my work office. Ciao!! Giorgio Terzi P.S. Found a firmware writer and updated my CD-Rom firmware: Now it spins faster but the oops is not changed, as you said. |

As I said, I copied my system (approx. 1.3GB) to the UW drive and booted from it whithout any problem. The mean difference I see is that Giorgio and I using the Permedia card and you not. Maybe there is something with the PCI stuff in the driver. Can you send me the compiler warnings you get when the 53c770 is compiled? Another question: can you mount CD-ROMs on CSPPC-SCSI and/or A4091? > I worked on the A4091 trying to fix it > but never did, is it possible the problem is elsewhere in the SCSI > system, maybe soecific to A4000 ?
