I tried compiling 2.1.78 with MCA for my IBM PS/2 Model 55SX with ESDI
hard drive and Kingston KTM-DC16/85 memory expansion and disk drive
card. So far, I've had luck booting off of a downloaded MCA Slackware
boot disk, and setting up my ESDI hard drive from there. However,
I run into these difficulties:
* I have not yet been able to figure any way to access the Kingston
Winchester Hard Drive; the default settings (changeable via the
IBM Reference Disk) for this drive are IO Address 8020-803f,
BIOS PROM address D4000h, and Interrupt Level "Interrupt 15".
I suspect that it is the "Drive 1" being mentioned below.
The card itself has a lot of SMD chips with just numbers. There
is one big one, reading Kingston 1115012 HG62F43S16FL 9305,
but I somehow doubt those numbers are of great use.
* Errors when booting from a kernel installed with lilo-20 (typed):
PS/2 ESDI: integrated ESDI adapter found in slot 4
PS/2 ESDI: DMA arbitration level : 5
PS/2 ESDI: hard reset...
PS/2 ESDI: Attention error. interrupt status : 0F
PS/2 ESDI: status: 08
PS/2 ESDI: reset interrupt after 1547 jiffies, 15.47 secs
PS/2 ESDI: Drive 0
PS/2 ESDI: Device Configuration Status for drive 0
PS/2 ESDI: Spares/cyls: 2Config bits: Zero Defect, Skewed Format, Non-Removable, Retries
PS/2 ESDI: Number of RBA's: 59392
PS/2 ESDI: Physical number of cylinders: 933, Sectors/Track: 33, Heads: 2
PS/2 ESDI: Drive 1
PS/2 ESDI: Attention error. interrupt status: 2F
PS/2 ESDI: Device not available
PS/2 ESDI: ps2esdi_out_cmd timed out while sending command (status=00)
Partition check:
eda: eda1 eda2
Then the big problem starts: we have a few variations, since I've
tried to get past this problem, but each fails with some sort of
error:
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 24k freed
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
-or- (with appropriate floppy reactions)
VFS: Insert root floppy and press ENTER
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 02:00
-or-
I've tried initrd as well, to no avail; it says it cannot find
a filesystem at address 0 or something like that.
I've tried all sane values of init=, both via lilo & the command line
(when booting with lilo). Furthermore, I've made sure there was
something in every possible default init position.
It's as if the filesystem portion of 2.1.78 is refusing to work.
Special note: The Linux 2.0.7 boot disk gets the following instead of
above, for drive 0 (which ends up working):
PS/2 ESDI: Attention error. interrupt status : EF
* I have not been able to access glycerine.itsmm.uni.edu, thus URL
ftp://glycerine.itsmm.uni.edu/pub/Patches/patch-2.0.29-mca-18Dec1997.gz
isn't working out for me; Archie turns up no other sources, either.
Can someone please point me at a mirror of ftp://glycerine.itsmm.uni.edu
or at least that one file? Thanks. Without it, I cannot test the
2.0.33 or 2.0.29 kernels to see if getting out of 2.1 works.
* Putting the MCA Slackware boot floppy's vmlinuz onto the primary HD works.
It doesn't have PPP (and I don't know about SMC Ethernet), so it isn't that
useful to me!
I've included my 2.1.78 .config in a MIME part.
P.S. I find this code segment in drivers/block/ps2esdi.c (line 390/1179)
distasteful; it ought to have a for/while loop, rather than repeating
some code; I offer an example below it.
__initfunc(static void ps2esdi_get_device_cfg(void))
{
u_short cmd_blk[TYPE_0_CMD_BLK_LENGTH];
/*BA */ printk("%s: Drive 0\n", DEVICE_NAME);
current_int_handler = ps2esdi_geometry_int_handler;
cmd_blk[0] = CMD_GET_DEV_CONFIG | 0x600;
cmd_blk[1] = 0;
no_int_yet = TRUE;
ps2esdi_out_cmd_blk(cmd_blk);
if (no_int_yet)
sleep_on(&ps2esdi_int);
if (ps2esdi_drives > 1) {
printk("%s: Drive 1\n", DEVICE_NAME); /*BA */
cmd_blk[0] = CMD_GET_DEV_CONFIG | (1 << 5) | 0x600;
cmd_blk[1] = 0;
no_int_yet = TRUE;
ps2esdi_out_cmd_blk(cmd_blk);
if (no_int_yet)
sleep_on(&ps2esdi_int);
} /* if second physical drive is present */
return;
}
My example:
__initfunc(static void ps2esdi_get_device_cfg(void))
{
u_short cmd_blk[TYPE_0_CMD_BLK_LENGTH];
u_int drive_num;
current_int_handler = ps2esdi_geometry_int_handler;
for(drive_num=0;drive_num<ps2esdi_drives;++drive_num) {
printk("%s: Drive %d\n", DEVICE_NAME,drive_num);
cmd_blk[0] = CMD_GET_DEV_CONFIG | (drive_num << 5) | 0x600;
cmd_blk[1] = 0;
no_int_yet = TRUE;
ps2esdi_out_cmd_blk(cmd_blk);
if (no_int_yet)
sleep_on(&ps2esdi_int);
}
return;
}
