Networking error message

I’ve got a QNX machine I’m trying to get online for the first time. I’ve
installed the NIC and booted QNX. Running “nettrap -v” spits out a bunch of
stuff, but the important lines are:
Looking for an Intel 82557/8/9 ethernet card…
—begin—
Found an Intel 82557/8/9 ethernet card, I/O port at FCE0, IRQ 11
Command: Net.ether82557 -I0 -l1 &
—(looking for other cards)—
Command: netmap -f
—end—

So then at the command line I type the following:
Net &
Net.ether82557 -I0 -l1 &
netmap -f

As soon as I type the “Net.ether82557 -I0 -l1 &”, I start getting a bunch of
“intstat not set” messages. I don’t know what that means or how to fix it.
Does anyone have an suggestions?

I can’t see your message in the driver! Have you just tried
‘Net.ether82557 &’ and see if that works?

Ok, not sure if I did what you asked, but here’s what I did:

  1. Rebooted QNX.
  2. When I got to the # prompt, typed ‘Net &’
  3. No error messages at this point, then typed ‘Net.ether82557 &’
  4. Starting getting “intstat not set” error messages (maybe like 5/sec?
    maybe faster???)
  5. Did a ‘ps’ a noted the pid of ‘Net.ether82557 &’ which was 75.
  6. Then did a ‘sin ver’ and noted the versions of Net (4.25C) and
    Net.ether82557 (4.25G)
  7. Then did a ‘kill 75’, “intstat not set” error messages stop immediately.

Let me know if there is anything else I can try!

Are you sure this message isn’t comming from one of your application.
Post the output of sin and sin ver

This message is coming from the aha_scsi driver! This is an ISA card so
it shouldn’t be sharing interrupts! Have you reserved the interrupt in
the BIOS on your machine? Please post the output from ‘sin’, ‘sin ir’ and
‘show_pci -vv’.

I do have an ISA scsi card installed which was used for an internal SCSI Jaz
drive (which we are not planning on using so I might be able to just yank
that out).

Here are the files of the outputs you wanted, except that I couldn’t provide
a file for ‘show_pci -vv’. Executing this command hangs my machine
completely. So I just ran ‘show_pci’ instead. I can run ‘show_pci -v’
without any problems, not sure if that helps or not, let me know…

It looks like both the PCI network card and the SCSI card are grabbing IRQ
11. I looked in the BIOS but didn’t see any way to reserve an IRQ, this is
a pretty old machine so maybe they just didn’t provide that capability in
the BIOS? The only thing I could find in the BIOS related to IRQs at all
was under the Power tab there is a category called “Standby Break Events”
and it lists the following:
IRQ3: [Auto]
IRQ4: [Auto]
IRQ5: [Disabled]
IRQ7: [Auto]
IRQ9: [Disabled]
IRQ10: [Auto]
IRQ11: [Auto]

I tried changing the one for 11 to Disabled and rebooting but that didn’t
seem to have any effect. I don’t have the manual for this machine, so I’m
not really even sure what this section of the BIOS is supposed to be doing,
although everything else on this tab is related to power management so I
kind of think that this wouldn’t solve the problem I’m having.

If you have any other ideas, I’d be interested in hearing them, but now that
you tracked that message down to the SCSI card, I think I’m probably in
pretty good shape - worst case I can just yank that card out, although I’d
like to get them to play nice together if possible.

First of all, why are you running Net.ether82557 if you have a 3Com 905
card in your machine? You should be running Net.ether905.

Secondly, you cannot share ISA interrupts, so if you cannot change the
IRQ on the ISA card, you are out of luck. Most ISA cards have either
jumper/switch settings or a software setup.

Ok, not sure if I did what you asked, but here’s what I did:

  1. Rebooted QNX.
  2. When I got to the # prompt, typed ‘Net &’
  3. No error messages at this point, then typed ‘Net.ether82557 &’
  4. Starting getting “intstat not set” error messages (maybe like 5/sec?
    maybe faster???)
  5. Did a ‘ps’ a noted the pid of ‘Net.ether82557 &’ which was 75.
  6. Then did a ‘sin ver’ and noted the versions of Net (4.25C) and
    Net.ether82557 (4.25G)
  7. Then did a ‘kill 75’, “intstat not set” error messages stop
    immediately.

Let me know if there is anything else I can try!

This message is coming from the aha_scsi driver! This is an ISA card so
it shouldn’t be sharing interrupts! Have you reserved the interrupt in
the BIOS on your machine? Please post the output from ‘sin’, ‘sin ir’ and
‘show_pci -vv’.

I can’t see your message in the driver! Have you just tried
‘Net.ether82557 &’ and see if that works?

Actually I’m no longer running the 82557 driver. I had a couple NICs
available and when I sent the first e-mail I was trying to use an Intel
82557 card. Before I got responses on the newsgroup I assumed that maybe
that card/driver was the problem so I switched to a 3Com 905 card and am now
running the Net.ether905 driver. I was still getting the same error
messages with both cards until I stopped the Fsys.aha2scsi driver from
loading.

So it is Ok that I’m running the 905 driver currently, I just never updated
that info in the newsgroup thread, sorry for the confusion! I’ll look into
the ISA card and see if it has jumpers or not.

Thanks,
Sean

First of all, why are you running Net.ether82557 if you have a 3Com 905
card in your machine? You should be running Net.ether905.

Secondly, you cannot share ISA interrupts, so if you cannot change the
IRQ on the ISA card, you are out of luck. Most ISA cards have either
jumper/switch settings or a software setup.

I do have an ISA scsi card installed which was used for an internal SCSI
Jaz
drive (which we are not planning on using so I might be able to just
yank
that out).

Here are the files of the outputs you wanted, except that I couldn’t
provide
a file for ‘show_pci -vv’. Executing this command hangs my machine
completely. So I just ran ‘show_pci’ instead. I can run ‘show_pci -v’
without any problems, not sure if that helps or not, let me know…

It looks like both the PCI network card and the SCSI card are grabbing
IRQ
11. I looked in the BIOS but didn’t see any way to reserve an IRQ, this
is
a pretty old machine so maybe they just didn’t provide that capability
in
the BIOS? The only thing I could find in the BIOS related to IRQs at
all
was under the Power tab there is a category called “Standby Break
Events”
and it lists the following:
IRQ3: [Auto]
IRQ4: [Auto]
IRQ5: [Disabled]
IRQ7: [Auto]
IRQ9: [Disabled]
IRQ10: [Auto]
IRQ11: [Auto]

I tried changing the one for 11 to Disabled and rebooting but that
didn’t
seem to have any effect. I don’t have the manual for this machine, so
I’m
not really even sure what this section of the BIOS is supposed to be
doing,
although everything else on this tab is related to power management so I
kind of think that this wouldn’t solve the problem I’m having.

If you have any other ideas, I’d be interested in hearing them, but now
that
you tracked that message down to the SCSI card, I think I’m probably in
pretty good shape - worst case I can just yank that card out, although
I’d
like to get them to play nice together if possible.
