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
