Hi again!

I have a problem using the iop driver to support PCI I/O processors
conforming to the I2O specification on a Dell PowerEdge 350 server.
Don't know if I2O support in PowerEdge 350 servers is revision 1.5,
or above, or not.  There is not a lot of documentation on both I2O
and ACPI details on the server documentation.  (ACPI will be the next
feature I will try to configure)

In fact, it seems not working now:

-------------------------------
fundphys: {3} iopctl showstatus
iopctl: /dev/iop0: Device not configured
-------------------------------

The machine is running a GENERIC kernel modified to use the second
serial port (the one in the front side of the server) as console port.

-------------------------------
fundphys: {5} cat /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/GENERIC.local
#       $NetBSD: GENERIC.local,v 1.1 1996/09/09 16:37:08 mycroft Exp $
#
#       GENERIC.local -- local additions to the GENERIC configuration
#

options         CONSDEVNAME="\"com\"",CONADDR=0x2f8,CONSPEED=9600
options         CONS_OVERRIDE   # Always use above! independent of boot info
-------------------------------

On the other hand, the GENERIC machine description file includes all
options, subsystems and device drives required to support I2O:

-------------------------------
options         I2OVERBOSE      # verbose I2O driver messages
[...]
# I2O devices
iop*    at pci? dev ? function ?        # I/O processor
iopsp*  at iop? tid ?                   # SCSI/FC-AL ports
ld*     at iop? tid ?                   # block devices
dpti*   at iop? tid 0                   # DPT/Adaptec control interface
-------------------------------

This is the output of the GENERIC kernel, modified to support a serial
console, dmesg on this server:

-------------------------------

I suppose that either I am doing something wrong (most probably)
or this server does not support I2O revision 1.5 or above.

Certainly, I2O *is* supported by this server.  Just not sure
about the revision level of I2O on it.

Dell diagnostics do not show errors on this server at all.

Cheers,
Igor.
