acpi 3.05: problems with magneto-optical drive

[guest]

I installed ecs 2.0 rc4 and activated acpi with default-installation values, i. e.

BASEDEV=APM.ADD PSD=ACPI.PSD

My system is a HP X4000 workstation, purely SCSI, with two magneto-optical devices attached. As soon as I insert a cartridge the system stops during booting after having load jfs.ifs. This happens independendly if I use

BASEDEV=DANIN512.FLT BASEDEV=OS2DASD.DMD /of

or simply

BASEDEV=OS2DASD.DMD

SMP, afaics, doesn't work at all. With acpi disabled the system works just as expected. Any hint?

Ciao, Harald

In UNI kernel, acpi get low memory only. And can't do any systems management. So in your case, acpi get ~400k low memory.

I can recommended do revision your config.sys.

What a problem you have with running SMP ?

Submittor adds:

As previous versions do just fine as well as Warp 4.52 the problem should be related to acpi and the hardware in my system. How may I track down those problems? ACPI runs with

BASEDEV=APM.ADD PSD=ACPI.PSD /APIC /CD

but I needed to remap the two Adaptec SCSI controllers. SMP doesn't work at all :-(

With /SMP the system freezes immediately after visualizing Kernel revision. I tried several possibilities: remapping of Adaptec-SCSI-controllers, /CD switch etc. It didn't change anything at all :-(

I tried to change config.sys according to your suggestions regarding memory problems, but nothing, afaics, changed. I fileattach logs and config.sys. Any suggestion would be very appreciated.

Ciao, Harald

If you remming acpi.psd and apm.sys, system boot right?

Replying to pasha:

In this case the system boots and works perfectly.

Need out ftom pci.exe (version 1.04, get at hobbes.nmsu.edu) with psd=acpi.psd and REM psd=acpi.psd

About SMP, first, you need install SMP kernel. Then try boot with psd=acpi.psd /SMP (not need any options).

Replying to pasha:

I have uploaded the respective outputs.

With the SMP kernel installed and psd=acpi.psd /SMP the system freezes immediately after visualizing

Internal revision 14.104a_SMP

Done.

Get pls from betazone.ecomastation.nl acpit22012207.zip. If freeze again - attach photo.

2 Pasha,

let's post standard block of text, else users don't understand:

======== Please downoload experimental ACPI build from Mensys site:

• Experimental build for you: acpit22012207.zip
• Read instructions: ​http://ecomstation.ru/projects/acpitools/?action=testcase

Replying to pasha:

Wow! Booted perfectly. Should I gather further informations? I will do some testing within the next days.

Thanks so much, Harald

[pasha]

No. problem was detected and fixed ;-)

[eco]

Can you report, how to run SCSI?

please send add-ons to this document: ​http://ecomstation.ru/projects/acpitools/?action=acpi-scsi
