[parisc-linux] Kernel 2.4.16-pa10

[joel.soete]

Hi all,

The kernel 2.4.16-pa10 run roughtly on my B180 (not yet tested on 712)
But STI console semms broken:
A large banner with "INVALID SCAN FREQ." in the middle of the screen and in
background something like parasitical tv reception (white line scanning
screen)... After some minutes it stop?
Thanks in advance for help,
        Joel

Hi.

This invalid scan problem suggests to me that the box is putting out a
resolution/frequency that the monitor cannot support. The banner in the
muddle of the screen is a monitor on-screen-display error. I don't know
about B180's but on my 712 this happened. In the boot loader firmware you
should be able to select resolutions -- I booted it on another monitor,
lovered the frequency and resolution, then switched back to the first
monitor. So, i don't think that's a problem with the kernel, rather the
settings of the box's STI and the limitations of the monitor you're using.

Re: [parisc-linux] Kernel 2.4.16-pa10: sti console brokrn?

[joel.soete]

You have right, I forget to mentionned that the screen was an HP model A4575A
with a selected resolution of 1280*1024 which works fine till now with previous
kernel 2.4.9 and 2.4.14.

So what should be the right resolution?

This is a bit of debug from my a500, 2.4.16-pa13

request_irq(66, 000000001037fd90, 0x0, IO-SAPIC00-L1, 000000001009bc58)
request_irq(66, 000000001037c590, 0x0, powerfail, 0000000000000000)
request_irq(129, 0000000010374ed0, 0x4000000, sym53c8xx, 000000001fe98000)
iosapic_interrupt(): irq 66 line 1 eoi fffffffffed30840, irq_num 129
POWERFAIL INTERRUPTION !

Don't claim to understand this, but it looks like "powerfail" has
requested the wrong irq?

Uhm. looks like a shared IRQ. that explains why I see it when
the lan is ifconfig'd instead. Does powerfail need an exclusive IRQ
in the CPU IRQ domain?

I never had the impression any of the HP9000 servers support
a soft-power switch. Many of the older servers did support "Host
powerfail" - but everything shipped since K-class does not.
I think we will need to figure out how to disable this for PAT boxes
and for DKR-class.

This reminds me:
   For PAT PDC boxes, we need to write a "PAT Event Handler"
which has exclusive IRQ on CPU EIRR bit 19 (numbered bass ackwards).
"we" means someone in HP. I don't think any of the documentation
for PAT has been published (or will be published anytime soon *sigh*).

[parisc-linux] Trying C180/current CVS again

[nick]

Hi, I'm once again trying to get my C180 booted, and I get a HPMC most of
the way through boot.  I've got the entire boot log, but it's rather long
so it's not attached.  I can make it available if that would be usefull.
