Subject: FreeBSD 2.0 gives "ie0: can't find shared memory" with 3COM 3c507 Etherlink 16
Date: 18 Mar 1995 20:58:16 GMT
Organization: ONTOS, Inc., Burlington, MA
Lines: 109
Distribution: world
Message-ID: <MULL.95Mar18155817@atlas.ontos.com>
NNTP-Posting-Host: ontos.tiac.net
I have configured a *used* (possibly broken) 3c507 as follows:
I/O Base address 360 Hex
Interrupt level 7
Transceiver type EXTERNAL
RAM Base Address 0D0000 Hex
RAM Size 64 KB
ROM Base Address 0C6000 Hex
ROM Size 0 KB
Zero wait state DISABLED
Data mode TURBO
Basically, I just changed the I/O Base address and Interrupt level
from the previous owner, assuming the rest to be valid(?). (How do I
confirm the other settings?)
It passes the 3COM Group 1 (internal) and Group 2 (bounce a packet off
the transceiver, I think) diagnostics. I couldn't run Group 3
(client/server) since I don't have access to another 3com node to set
up as a server.
When I boot FreeBSD 2.0 off the hard disk in order to ftp the
distributions, the card does not get recognized. The "ie"
driver is the one that should be used. Below is an excerpt from the
log which appears in full at the end of the posting.
...
ie0: can't find shared memory
ie0 not found at 0x360
...
stray irq 7
I've looked at if_ie.c where the message is generated and basically it
means that all attempts to initialize the card with memory sizes from
64K down to 8K in 8k increments failed, but I don't know why.
What am I doing wrong with the config? Could the card be bad even
though it passed most of the diags?
Thank you.
