Matt, NT 4.0 Adaptec Driver from the retail pack, Microsoft doesn't support 1394 under NT 4.0 to the best of my knowledge. Not until Windows 2K I haven't bothered to look on Adaptec's site for anything newer yet. I'll poke around this afternoon and see what I find. Interesting idea that it is the Windows box and not the Linux box causing the problem. I'll see if I can figure out how to determine this...

What version of NT are you running? In the NT box, is it a Microsoft-provided 1394 driver or an OEM driver? Some of the early (pre-Win98SE) 1394 stacks had trouble with devices that didn't enumerate properly. That could be what's happening, the LPS bit is set in your SelfID, but the Link isn't responding to ConfigROM reads. Hence, Windows is completely baffled and continues to hammer on the Linux box until it comes up. Regards, Matt Mark Knecht wrote: Has anyone else seen this problem? I have a 1394 topology with two PCs and a number of other peripherals. One PC is the Linux box, the other is a Windows NT box with an Adaptec 1394 card in it. If the Linux box is powered off and the Windows box is up and running normally, and then I power on the Linux box, during the boot process on Linux the Windows box is slowed to a crawl. The mouse will barely move, everything is very slow. If I unplug the 1394 cable from either box (leaving the rest of my topology intact, the Windows box speeds up again. This seems like the Linux 1394 system may be pumping a lot of either packets onto the bus, or doing a lot of bus resets. I don't have a 3A here, so I can't really look at what is going on. Does anyone know of any software for the Adaptec cards that will allow me to just capture packets/bus operation? _______________________________________________ mailing list lin...@li... http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/linux1394-devel -- /*********************** Matt Pujol Product Marketing Manager 1394 and USB CoreWare technologies LSI Logic 2001 Danfield Court Fort Collins, Co 80525 970-206-5816 mat...@ls... ***********************/ |
