Hi!

I'm still fighting (with -current)

  http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-cobalt/2004/11/04/0000.html

mainly data corruption with disk/ide access in 'bigger amounts'.

This still happens with Izumi's patch:

  http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-cobalt/2004/11/08/0000.html

In port-alpha there was some discussion about (mis-configured?) pci
latency timers:

  http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-alpha/2005/01/24/0001.html

Because /dev/pci0 does not exist/work for cobalt I recompiled a kernel
with PCIVERBOSE and PCI_CONFIG_DUMP to get some more info's about my
qube2's ide pci config (this is with Izumi's patch (see above)):

      Don't know how to pretty-print device-dependent header.
  
  VIA Technologies VT82C586A IDE Controller (IDE mass storage, interface 0x8a, revision 0x06) at ? dev 9 function 1 (intrswiz 0, intrpin 0, i/o on, mem off, no quirks)
  viaide0: VIA Technologies VT82C586 (Apollo VP) ATA33 controller
  viaide0: bus-master DMA support present
  viaide0: primary channel configured to compatibility mode
  viaide0: primary channel interrupting at irq 14
  atabus0 at viaide0 channel 0
  viaide0: secondary channel configured to compatibility mode
  viaide0: secondary channel interrupting at irq 15
  atabus1 at viaide0 channel 1

Because I'm absolutely not familiar with this:

Are all these values/configs reasonable? (I can provide more
PCI_CONFIG_DUMP output if neccassry)

'Latency Timer: 0x40' looks reasonable, but what about 'Cache Line
Size: 0x00'?

I've found some linux code (
http://www.oxxus.net/host/2.5.75/hosting-pci-cobalt.htm
http://www.oxxus.net/host/2.6.8/hosting-fixup-cobalt.htm ) for
qube/raq where these values are explicitly set during initialization
to

  pci_write_config_byte(dev, PCI_LATENCY_TIMER, 64);
  pci_write_config_byte(dev, PCI_CACHE_LINE_SIZE, 7);

Is (from the same url)

  /*
  * On all machines prior to Q2, we had the STOP line disconnected
  * from Galileo to VIA on PCI. The new Galileo does not function
  * correctly unless we have it connected.
  *
  * Therefore we must set the disconnect/retry cycle values to
  * something sensible when using the new Galileo.
  */
  pci_read_config_word(dev, PCI_REVISION_ID, &galileo_id);
  galileo_id &= 0xff; /* mask off class info */
  if (galileo_id >= 0x10) {
  /* New Galileo, assumes PCI stop line to VIA is connected. */
  GALILEO_OUTL(0x4020, GT_PCI0_TOR_OFS);
  } else if (galileo_id == 0x1 || galileo_id == 0x2) {
  signed int timeo;
  /* XXX WE MUST DO THIS ELSE GALILEO LOCKS UP! -DaveM */
  timeo = GALILEO_INL(GT_PCI0_TOR_OFS);
  /* Old Galileo, assumes PCI STOP line to VIA is disconnected. */
  GALILEO_OUTL(0xffff, GT_PCI0_TOR_OFS);
  }
  }

relevant for port-cobalt?

How and where could I inject code into -current's source to set pci
latency timer and cache line size for gt and viaide in netbsd-current
for testing purposes? (An example would be nice :-))

Any hint appreciated,

Markus.
