As reported on the -bugs list by some one, and confirmed by Julian:
> I increased AHA_RESET_TIMEOUT in aha1542.c from 1000 to 10000
> and now my 1542C is found everytime.
problem with some chipsets (UMC) remapping the 'hole' memory even when
you've got 16MB. People were led to believe that since there was only
16MB of memory in the machine, that they were okay wrt the ISA DMA
limit. This hack simply causes the extra memory to be ignored if it
appears around the 16MB limit.
* Removed pmap_is_wired
* added extra cli/sti protection in idle (swtch.s)
* slight code improvement in trap.c
* added lots of comments
* improved paging and other algorithms in VM system
Changed the output of the isa probe routine, that only devices, that
have an IO address and are smaller than 0x100 to be on the motherboard.
The seagate SCSI adapter is an example of a card, that doesn't have
an IO address and works only memory mapped.
Choose older MULTIPORT version, because lastest bde version
not worked.
Don't force HUPCL for bidirectional case.
From bde:
Use bit (1 << (16 + 4)) in schedsoftcom() to avoid clash with
non-serial h/w on IRQ4.
Allow FIFO_TRIGGER in config.
Clear com->mcr_image when clearing mcr for init of 4port. The
usual value MCR_IENABLE should have broken 4ports unless
something happened to clear it later.
Turn off interrupts as well as DTR after an error waiting for
carrier (bidir dialin case).
Drain fifo more carefully.
Don't hang up if debugging.
Rearrange siointr() -> siointr1() for multiport case for speed,
lower latency and clarity.
Use suser() to check perms.
Provide missing splx() after failed perms checks.
c_ispeed == 0 means c_ispeed = c_ospeed (POSIX).
Set parameters (except speed) for c_ospeed == 0 as well as
hanging up.
Better initialization for console (fifo stuff...).
Misc. cleanups.
Fix dead hang if modem power is off.
problems in the moment are stray intr's in the ifconfig up/down.
No way to select all three interfaces on a combo card with
AUI/BNC/UTP interfaces and the performance doesn't look good.
Only tested with a ISA AUI/BNC card yet.
Added it to the list of known boards and put it into the the list for
the mailbox unlock. Maybe all board-ids over 0x42 should be in the
mailbox unlock part ?
enough tests to be considered more stable than current driver.
Lots of work by Bruce, David G., and Guido have gone into this version, and
more is to come in the future.
Support for multiple controllers is in, but doesn't work correctly with
different controllers (IDE AND MFM), but multiple alike controllers appears
to work.
Most of the stray interrupts problems should be fixed, although you will
get a couple 'extra interrupts' when disklabeling and on startup.
