Greets,
I'm running NetBSD i386/1.5.1_ALPHA and have just got myself a Flexport 8S
but having a few issues.
I have compiled a kernel, changing the irq from 5 to 8 since irq 5 is
used by the internal audio. The dmesg command shows the device is there
and adds the serial ports
addcom0 at isa0 port 0x108-0x147 irq 8
com2 at addcom0 slave 0: ns16550a, working fifo
com3 at addcom0 slave 1: ns16550a, working fifo
com4 at addcom0 slave 2: ns16550a, working fifo
com5 at addcom0 slave 3: ns16550a, working fifo
com6 at addcom0 slave 4: ns16550a, working fifo
com7 at addcom0 slave 5: ns16550a, working fifo
com8 at addcom0 slave 6: ns16550a, working fifo
com9 at addcom0 slave 7: ns16550a, working fifo
However, I am getting the following just after I login
May 5 23:09:26 c643704-b /netbsd: pckbc: command timeout
and /dev/ttyE0 stops reponding. I can still telnet to the machine.
Now, I am somewhat confused by the IO port configuration on the board.
I'm guessing I have a conflict.
If anyone has managed to get one of these things working on NetBSD and
can offer some assistance, I'd appreciate it.
Regards
Nigel
