This file lists hardware, which doesn't do what it should do.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Due to the nature of FreeBSD, we do not have the resources to test all
|
|
|
|
|
possible kinds of hardware. We do however every now and then find, buy
|
|
|
|
|
or hear about hardware which doesn't work with FreeBSD or in general.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is that list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To be added to this list, a piece of hardware has to:
|
|
|
|
|
A: not do what it claims.
|
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
|
B: not do what common sense would expect it to.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Only if performance claims are wildly of the mark will it be listed here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All entries must have a date and a mail-address associated with them, to
|
|
|
|
|
reflect when and by whom they were added.
|
|
|
|
|
For multifunctional devices, please indicate if other parts of the device
|
|
|
|
|
work OK, or are untested.
|
|
|
|
|
For mutual incompabilities, list both devices.
|
|
|
|
|
For SCSI and IDE-devices, list the string seen on boot of FreeBSD, if
|
|
|
|
|
possible, and trade name.
|
|
|
|
|
Infer format from other entries, Keep sorted by first line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thankyou.

Controller, Data Technology DTC2280, "PC/AT Super I/O Card"
|
|
|
|
|
IDE interface can be set to secondary address, but doesn't work there. Suspect
|
|
|
|
|
Interrupt isn't moved along. Works fine on primary address. Other parts of
|
|
|
|
|
card not tested.

Cannot coexist on the same IDE-controller.
|
|
|
|
|
Jumpers not exhaustively experimented with, as neither of the companies
|
|
|
|
|
make sufficient information available. Disk works fine when alone on
|
|
|
|
|
IDE-controller.

IDE-disk, <AC31000> "Western Digital Caviar 31000"

|
|
IDE-disk, <ST3550A> "Seagate ST3550A"
|
|
|
|
|
Western Digital AC31000 (Caviar 31000) 1080 meg IDE drive will not
|
|
|
|
|
co-exist with a Seagate ST3550A.
|
|
|
|
|
The Seagate as master causes a constant drive light and system lockup,
|
|
|
|
|
The WD will work fine alone or as master, but the Seagate is inaccessable
|
|
|
|
|
if configured as slave in this config.
