As explained in the gnats this SGI IP32 will hard lock at random point. Otherwise it operates very nice and quickly. That was 6.0.1, same deal on current. Also 47639, a random keyboard flash co-incides with a interrupt, may be related. What I want to do, but don't know if i can: - get a debugger triggered at the right point, which means finding the right spot - adding more debug around some other bits of kernel code, but not so to saturate the console - breaking the kernel (linux magic sysreq style) and just getting it to dump it's stack at a keypress The hunch was a glitch in the interrupt handling, so I've added aprint_debug() liberally throughout dev/crime.c and mace/mace.c, as seen in https://gist.github.com/rooprob/5191131 The pattern I've discovered seems always "hang" a</pre> roop 2013-03-19T10:11:59 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.ports.sgimips/2570 <pre> I had a memory burp: O2 VICE and Nintendo64 ; someone asking about N64 kernel; Brain righted itself n64 (32/64bit ABI) not N64 (Nintendo), or n32 or o32 subset. Anyway, I randomly googled, refreshing my world view that the O2 is scattered amongst the different projects; - The hardware acceleration in VICE (derivative found in Nintendo64) was in Linux 2.5.x (http://www.linux-mips.org/~glaurung/), - Macallans excellent O2 2D acceleration work (didn't use VICE IIRC) X11 work in NetBSD (http://my.opera.com/Macallan/blog/2009/04/01/xorg-on-o2) (Was this only XFree, or was carried over to Xorg?) - OpenBSD's support for the O2 system generally seems more featureful and stable. - Finally, back to IRIX, the guys at Nekochan have updated Firefox to 3 (http://forums.nekochan.net/viewtopic.php?f=15&amp;t=16727403) for IRIX and report faster, more stable behaviour than ff2.x (haven't tried it). But what's happening over in Nintendo world, and we find some nice research into RSP from 2012/2013, http://foru</pre> roop 2013-03-05T11:17:44 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.ports.sgimips/2566 <pre>Is anyone working on PR #36158 (NetBSD/sgimips does not properly detect the total amount of physical memory in an IP32 (O2) machine)? I'm working with a library who wants to reuse a bunch of O2 machines as locked down kiosk web browsing systems, but I wasn't aware of this limitation until we got reasonably down this path. Looking at the diff for OpenBSD to add support it doesn't seem trivial, but I'm not sure if all of that is needed here. Any progress on this since the last PR update? </pre> Kevin Day 2013-03-02T23:47:15 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.ports.sgimips/2563 <pre>Hi, What on earth is located at address 0xffffffffbfa00030 on IP20 systems?

What are the implications of this for the sgimips port? Would it ease the support for IP27, IP30 and IP35 machines?

First, I've got troubles using the serial console. I can see the text but it doesn't respond to inputs. I need to press '5' to access the command monitor and nothing happens. Maybe that's related to my terminal though, I'll have to run another tests. Also in graphics mode, with a ps/2 keyboard plugged in, when I try to bootp (there's a netbsd install server on the network, with dhcpd.conf: allow bootp; and filename "netbsd"; in it and tftp serving /tftpboot/netbsd which is unzipped NetBSD-5.0.2/sgimips/binary/kernel/netbsd-INSTALL32_IP3x.gz), I get this error, No server for :. [sgi troubleshooting messages...] [...] bootp [...] could not connect to server Any help, feedback or experience on those two issues would be appreciated.

I have an external 4.3GB SCSI disk which currently boots 5.1 and which I'm trying to upgrade to 6.0_BETA. I've tried three different machines, all netbooting the install kernel, two failed extracting the base set and the third got past base and failed extracting comp. The machines are: R4600/133 Indy with 96MB RAM, failed with malloc errors while extracting base.tgz, I guess 96MB is no longer enough to run an install. R5000/180 Challenge S with 192MB RAM, failed extracting base.tgz with strange errors like "Cannot rename ./usr/share/locale/uk_UA.KOI8-U/ to ./usr/share/locale /uk_UA.KOI8-U/LC_MESSAGES/SYS_LC_MESSAGES (Not a directory)" and "Cannot set permissions on (null) (Bad address)". R5000/150 Indy with 256MB RAM, succeeded in extracting base but failed to extract comp.tgz with "Command ended on signal". I might try an install next, instead of an upgrade, just to see if that makes any difference.

However when I try and power it on, the fan repeatedly spins up and the speaker farts a bit, and the front LED blinks amber and green. It looks like the PSU might be toast, (it's the earlier non-Sony variety). Unless someone wants the whole system, I can part it out if anyone is interested. Apart from the main system board, chassis, etc. it has (from memory ;-)): - 150 MHz R4400SC CPU (I'll pull the EPROM chip that ISTR goes with it) - 8 x 16 MB SIMM's - 24-bit XL graphics board - 10 Mb/s Ethernet board (just has AUI 15 transceiver connector) - Some sort of Fore Systems board (ATM? has RJ45 connector) I also have an Indycam and the SGI granite keyboard/mouse. For the whole system I'd only like to have it picked up (I'm in the UK near Reading) but for the parts I can probably ship those if you agree to pay the shipping costs.

This is a full install, from the CD.  I get a strange error whenever I run any of the following commands: pkg_add, pkg_admin, pkg_create, pkg_delete, pkg_info: "Shared object "ourcepath" not found". The "ourcepath" part is _not_ a typo. It's the same for all of them, regardless of what arguments I run them with; increasing the verbosity level doesn't give me any additional output. Google doesn't give me anything on this one. I have a feeling it's something simple but, as I'm new at this *BSD thing, I'm stuck. Any solutions ? Thanks, Ovidiu  </pre> Ovidiu Cretu 2011-06-09T08:15:06 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.ports.sgimips/2522 <pre> Hey everyone, I recently rescued an old Iris Indigo machine that was being thrown away and I'm in the process of making it usable again. In terms of configuration, it has an IP20 CPU and an LG1 "entry" graphics board. I can post detailed specs if needed. I've installed NetBSD (5.1, entirely from the CD) and, after a few problems getting it to boot from the hard drive, it now runs very well. The problem with it is that I cannot get the X server working. When I do "X -configure", it says (in its /var/log/.. file) that it cannot find any devices to configure. It does load the drivers and attempts to scan some hardware addresses. Does anyone know of a solution for this ? Better yet, since I haven't found anything regarding this, do you know of anyone that has X working on an Indigo ? I've even considered upgrading its graphics board to something like a GR2, but I have no idea if it will solve the problem. If you have this thing working, can you send me your xorg.conf file ?  Thanks, Ovidiu </pre> Ovidiu Cretu 2011-06-02T16:57:56 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.ports.sgimips/2515 <pre>Hi, I tried to install 5.1 on my Challenge S and the kernel panics just after the 'panel0' line, see below for full output. The panic happens with both the INSTALL and GENERIC kernels on a Challenge S but both kernels boot normally on an Indy. I've built a custom kernel with the 'panel' line commented out of the config, that cures the panic and the kernel then boots normally.

Thanks to all the hackers who have worked on this port. I just decided to randomly google on Saturday and found that some good work had been committed for O2 acceleration and thought I'd give it a go. Installation was pretty effortless (TFTP boot + NFS install) and the system is running fine. There are one or two little problems which perhaps I can help with if someone can help me. I see the memory detection is already registered as a bug 36158: doesn't detected total RAM. 768MB installed.

I did the install on a R5000/180 O2 and that went smoothly, X11 works on the console and I've successfully compiled a few packages from pkgsrc. Next I moved the disk into my R12000/270 O2, it boots up OK, X11 works, I can login and run some commands but after a short time I get error messages like this: crime: cpu error 4 at address 74518336 crime: cpu error 4 at address 68283400 After a few of these, with different addresses, the system hangs, no response to the keyboard or to ping. A hard reset is needed to reboot it. Now, I seem to remember a thread a while back about the problems associated with R10000/R12000 CPUs so I'm just wondering what is the current state of R12000 support? Should it work or is it still known to be temperamental? FYI, kernel is GENERIC32_IP3x.
