Hi netters, I asked that question already here on the net - but just before Christmas and I am afraid that due to Christmas Holidays many people did not see it. I got one answer (Thank you Andi!) stating it CAN'T work on a 5830 (see details below), but a call to our distributor resulted in the statement IT SHOULD! So the situation is not yet clear. So if anybody can help - please mail me. And now the problem: ----------------------------------------------------------------- We are running a DECsystem 5830 under ULTRIX 4.0 We added a VAXBI SCSI Host adapter (CBI-1000 TM) and followed the instructions in the manual for editing our system configuration file. Here are the relevant parts: adapter vaxbi14 at nexus? adapter xmi0 at nexus? controller aie0 at vaxbi14 node6 [...] controller kdb1 at vaxbi14 node4 [...] controller uq5 at kdb1 vector uqintr controller klesib0 at vaxbi14 node9 [...] controller uq20 at klesib0 vector uqintr [...] controller uba0 at vaxbi14 node10 controller klesiu0 at uba0 csr 0174500 vector uqintr controller uda0 at uba0 csr 0172150 vector uqintr controller uq0 at klesiu0 controller uq1 at uda0 disk ra8 at uq1 drive 1 device xna0 at vaxbi14 node12 vector xnaintr (at the moment drive 0 on the new SCSI is not configured, but we are sure that this is not the problem, which seems to occure earlier!). When building a new kernel, it says: uba0 at vaxbie node a NOT SUPPORTED This message comes from the bua.o (!) in the binary distribution (/sys/MIPS/BINARY/ ). Can anybody suggest what we did wrong? Is anybody out there who has such a hostadapter on a DECsystem 58?? working? Please answer by mail! Andreas -- Andreas Priebe Potsdam/Germany Phone: +49 331 762 320
