Intel D975XBX2 troubles

[Chuck McKinnis]

I have one Intel D975XBX2 working with ACPI 3.03 in /APIC mode OK. Now I have a second one that I'm tryiing to get to work but the hardware set up is slightly different. This one has a Pentium E2160 1.8GHZ dual core chip, 2GB RAM, an Intel PRO/1000 PL LAN chip, an Adaptec 2906 SCSI controller and an LSiMEgaRAID Express 500 using mraid.add 2e.03.

This one works in /PIC mode with acpi.psd 2.21 and 2.22, fails in 3.03 (but works with the beta 3.04 I was sent for a similar problem ith 3.03). However it doesn't work in /APIC mode with 3.03 or 3.04 (or the 2.x series either).

I have booted with the beta 3.04 and that spits out a bunch of debug messages before it dies (it just hangs after the GenMac message which is normally the last thing before SNAP loads). The messages are:

OemHlpXHandler: CMD_INIT_COMPLETE PSD_SET_ADV_INT_MODE Apic 0 PIC 0 Dummy 7 IDT FFDBF370 Vector 57 High FFEA Low 91B8 Dummy 2C IDT FFDBF370 Vector F3 High FFEA Low 9AF8 Dummy 2F IDT FFDBF370 Vector F2 High FFEA Low 9BB8 Dummy 2E IDT FFDBF370 Vector 2E High 0 Low 0

And that's all she wrote...

PSD=acpi.psd /SMP /R /APIC /NOD /CD

also tried with /ALS but no different.

Need log from any boot with acpi, "copy acpica$ acpi.log"

[Chuck McKinnis]

This is the log from a boot using PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /R /PIC /NOD using a build of 3.04 that I was sent to fix the problem with 3.03 not working in /PIC mode on the Intel D975XBX2.

Some more info. I've done some more changes tonight to see what info I could find. It seems I have two problem drivers, the first is mraid.add which can be worked around by using 'REMAP 21 TO 10' in acpi.cfg and leaving the /IRQ parameter off the basedev. Scanpci reports this adapter as using IRQ 10 in PIC mode and IRQ 21 in APIC mode. Trying to use BASEDEV=MRAID.ADD /IRQ 21 ends in a hang, not overriding it at all ends in a hang but the remap works.

The other problem driver seems to be more serious and I have yet to find a workaround for that. I have an Adpaptec 2906 SCSI card in this box and that uses AIC7870.ADD. In APIC mode this driver's banner correctly says it is using IRQ 0x12 but REMing the BASEDEV=aic7870.add with the above REMAP and mraid.add change, does actually allow me to boot to s desktop. I tried a REMAP 18 to 9 but this looks hopeful until it clears the screen prior to loading SNAP then prints out a bunch of IRQ NOT handled !!! messages and hangs.As far as I'm aware, I am using the latest (last) version of aic7870.add :-(

For APIC, you need use as:

psd=acpi.psd /SMP /APIC

basedev=mraid /IRQ 21

Don't use /CD with this raid

For PIC:

psd=acpi.psd /SMP

basedev=mraid.add

If have problem in APIC - only change USB, drivers, BIOS options e.t.c.

If have problem in PIC - change IRQ for link. Your raid use link LNKF with IRQ10

This MB don't support /R options. /CD options close work (with IRQ) in your mraid.add

About REMAP. I don't recommended use REMAP 21 10, because IRQ10 using any device. Try IRQ3 or IRQ5

[Chuck McKinnis]

psd=acpi.psd /SMP /APIC does not work without /CD - it hangs during the boot - Alt+F2 shows it is during loading of USBUHCI.SYS and the system appears to be looping as the text of the Alt+F2 messages is v e r y slowly repainted - e.g. changing from 'Loading USBUHCI.SYS' to 'Installed USBUHCI.SYS' one letter at a time and you can see the letter being erased and repainted one pixel at a time! Oh, and after a few minutes, the over temperature alarm on the mobo goes off!

Without using /CD I have no USB.

REMAP 21 to 10 works and I picked 10 because that is the IRQ that would be used in PIC mode. It doesn't appear to be used by any other devices. I did try 15 as there is no secondary IDE controller in this machine but that also hangs. I specified the /IRQ 15 to mraid.add as well as the remap.

I can boot with USB and MRAID.add (using REMAP 21 to 10) but only if I REM out the aic7870.add line.

What say basedev=AIC7870.ADD /V ? Do you try remming snooper (AIC7870.SNP) and remove \os2\boot\previous.dat ?

[Chuck McKinnis]

The output from aic7870.add appears perfectly normal at boot time - it lists the attached devices as well as the correct IRQ (in hex so it says 12 not 18). It just doesn't let the boot complete. It looks like I can have USB or Adaptec but not both! Last night I tried substituting an LSi Logic 21040 dual channel card but I can't even get the machine to boot up using that - the Boot Manager menu never appears so it's a waste of time

I have tried REMing the snooper but it didn't make any difference but I haven't tried removing previous.dat - will try that when I get a spare 10 minutes!

[Chuck McKinnis]

I tried remming everything except ibmkbd.snp from snoop.lst and doing a full hardware detection boot after removing previous.dat. Exact same symptoms.

I've also tried commenting everything in acpi.cfg and booting with no USB drivers at all and removing /CD from acpi.psd and I get the glacial slowness as it lists the Alt+F2 drivers loading. This time it got stuck after 'Loading AIC7870.ADD' and painted the 'Installed AIC7870.ADD' one pixel at a time.

I also tried removing danis506.add and daniatapi.flt and this had the effect of reducing the number of 'Interrupt NOT Handled!!!!' messages I see from 11 to 2.

Only way I can boot with all drivers is to flip to /PIC mode.

[pasha]

You have SCSI, mraid and AIC7870.add. I know that mraid.add has option to IRQ and this options work with high IRQ . About AIC7870.add I don't know. In any case, all SCSI must boot w/o /CD options. So for /APIC you need remove USBEHCD.SYS (/CD for this driver).

Next. about REMAP. REMAP rules - you can remap to low IRQ, which don't use anything via boot. I see your AIC7870.add use IRQ9 in PIC. IRQ9 also using by ACPI and ATA controllers, so before remap you must change this IRQ to any free. In this case router is LNKC, but router LNKC using by SATA too. So for this driver you can't do REMAP.

I suggest try next:

1. try boot with /SMP /APIC but with remming USBEHCD.SYS

2. try insert AIC7870 to next PCI slot (this change IRQ router) and try use REMAP

[Chuck McKinnis]

I tried booting with no USB drivers at all a whie back but it still failed.

Tonight I tried switching the Adaptec and Megaraid cards around (there are only 2 PCI slots on this board and both are full). This wouldn't even boot in /PIC mode, hanging during loading of either mraid.add, usbehcd.sys, aic7870.add and even ibm1flpy.add at various time.

I have a working system with /PIC so I guess I should be happy!

[Chuck McKinnis]

I installed 3.05 on this system tonight and it's now broken in /PIC mode too. Only change made was to install the 3.05 files and reboot. It loads everything it should, displays the SNAP graphics logo then clears the screen and stays that way forever - never shows the PM desktop background. I backed out only acpi.psd to a special 3.04 build you sent me and it works again. Back on 3.04.

[pasha]

Can you boot to acpi 3.5 without /SMP and attach log here?

[Chuck McKinnis]

I booted in non-SMP mode as requested and attached the acpica$ log to this ticket. This works.

I also tried using the debug version of 3.05 acpi.psd and this does work successfully. Some difference between the two seems to stop the non-debug version from working. Log from this boot also attached as acpi_debug.log

[eco]

Please test ACPI 3.7, it should help you

[Chuck McKinnis]

My 2nd D975BX2 is workingg with ACPI 3.07 in /PIC mode now, thanks.

I will also check if it works in /APIC mode now but this will need to wait for the weekend. as will testing on my other board.

[Chuck McKinnis]

OK, with some persuasion I now have this 2nd board running in /APIC mode on 3.07. It required acpi.cfg lines to remap 21 to 10 remap 18 to 5 to remap the IRQs for both the Megaraid Express 500 card (on 21) and the Adaptec SCSI controller (on 18). I tried mraidd.add /IRQ 21 and /IRQ 18 but neither would load. The REMAPs were the only thing I could find that worked.

But it does work! Thanks.

Incidentally, without the REMAP 18 to 5 and leaving aic7870.add in config.sys the boot would stall after loading os2cdrom.dmd (I have two SCSI attached CD-ROM drives). If I remmed aic7870.add and did not have the REMAP 21 to 10 then the boot would stall after loading the Genmac driver. With only the REMAP 21 to 10 and with aic7870.add remmed, it would boot up correctly.

[eco]

OK, updated the list of SMP APIC compatible drivers

​http://ecomstation.ru/projects/acpitools/?action=acpi-smp-drv

So.. you have experience how to run SCSI. Please startup other computers! you have so many SCSI computers! =8E

[Chuck McKinnis]

Sorry, seems I was wrong about this working. My excuse is that it was late! With REMAP 18 to 5 in acpi.cfg, the IRQ was indeed rerouted but aic7870.add was actually issuing a 'aic7870.add not loaded' message during boot. It did boot but without any of the SCSI devices. I have subsequently tried REMAP 18 to 11 (as 11 was also free) and this allows aic7870.add to load and enumerate its devices but the whole machine then locks up later on during the boot - one time after loading os2cdrom.dmd and the other after Genmac loaded.

However, the 3.07 build does allow me to boot with aic7870.add REMed out and cures the problem with mraid.add (with a REMAP for that IRQ too). That's better than the previous 3.x builds that I've tried..

Now if only I could find a SCSI adapter that works with acpi.add! :-)

[eco]

OK,

ACPI works for you.

the problems are related to SCSI drivers.
