Here is the improved probe for the mse (Bus Mouse) device driver. I
have been running with this under 1.1.5.1 as well as 2.0 without a hitch for
quite a while.

tsleep()). Try `dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/pcaudio bs=640k count=1'. The
write takes a few hundred seconds to drain, and if it is killed by a
signal, it still takes a few hundred seconds to drain and all of those
seconds are spent busy-waiting.
Clean up includes and declarations. Remove bogus casts of args to
timeout functions.
doesn't have to calculate it every call.
Rename `timer0_prescale' to `timer0_prescaler_count' and maintain it
correctly. Previously we lost a few 8253 cycles for every "prescaled"
clock interrupt, and the lossage grows rapidly at 16 KHz. Now we
only lose a few cycles for every standard clock interrupt.
Rename `*_divisor' to `*_max_count'.
Do the calculation of TIMER_DIV(rate) only once instead of 3 times each
time the rate is changed.
Don't allow preposterously large interrupt rates. Bug fixes elsewhere
should allow the system to survive rates that saturate the system, however.
Clean up declarations.
Include <machine/clock.h> to check our own declarations.
floppies now. I'm not sure why, but things hang when it gets to the
`changing root to fd0c' part. Without your latest commit, everything works
fine. Maybe you can figure out what you broke after ALPHA! :)
errors at a lower ipl. clist starvation problems can cause hundreds of
tty buffer overflows per second and logging them all amplified the
problems. This problem was less serious in 1.1.5.
Avoid a race in the check for starting a new block of output. com_events
was sometimes messed up and siopoll() looped endlessly. This bug was
introduced in 2.0.
Clean up previous 2 commits. Rename sio_registerdev() to sioregisterdev()
to match the (bad) surrounding naming conventions. There should be a
generic_registerdev().
. avoid resetting the FDC every time the last motor is going off;
instead, give it a 60-second period for possible later reactivation.
This prevents us from needing to recalibrate the FDC too often,
but still allows for an ``automagic error recovery', just in case the
controller is absolutely stuck. (Simply wait for 60 seconds, and
try it again.)
. made the floppy head settle time after a seek a constant
that might be overridden by a config option. (Well, actually the
divisor of the settle time). Pepople often reported problems with
their floppies, so i need a simply mechanism that allows them
to play with that value. (I personally cannot find any problem
on *my* drives.)
. implement the FD_DEBUG ioctl command, in case the driver
is compiled with DEBUG turned on.
. removed a bogus parameter from a printf; the remaining warnings
from gcc -Wall seem to be warnings about the %b format gcc cannot
understand
. rearrange Garett's code to fit better in the existing structure
of #define/type/function ordering.
. make everything fit into 79 columns again.
in the far pointers are multiples of 4K (as is normal when the video
BIOS is at seg 0xc000). Disallow mode switching if the pointer is bad.
Use a new pa_to_va() macro for all BIOS and video addresses in syscons.
Changed the fifth parameter to register_intr() from u_int mask into
u_int *maskptr in preparation for new features (shared interrupts and
removable devices, eg. for PCMCIA).

and all SCSI devices (except that it's not done quite the way I want). New
information added includes:
- A text description of the device
- A ``state''---unknown, unconfigured, idle, or busy
- A generic parent device (with support in the m.i. code)
- An interrupt mask type field (which will hopefully go away) so that

This requires a new version of the `lsdev' program as well (next commit).
One of the alpha testers (ETO, Toshihisa <eto@osl.fujitsu.co.jp>)
of my APM driver sent me a very small patch to if_ze.c for using IBM
PCMCIA Ethernet card II. There are only a few difference between
Ethernet card I and II. So we can use them both with this patch. It
also includes a patch for PCIC of ThinkPad 230Cs (As long as I
remember, this model is available in Japan only. But it is very
popular subnote in Japan).

so i hope i've finally removed all the occasions where the driver
got stuck when there's no floppy in the drive.
Also attemmpting to omit the error mesage for ``recalib failed''
for the first time, since people tend to be confused about this.
drivers have a chance to change their IRQ before it is checked.
This was implemented in revision 1.21 and broken in revision 1.26.
Drivers that can change their IRQ should probably be configured
with "irq ?".
else has been probed. This feature could go away again, if we can curb the
problem another way.
if_ed.c, syscons.c: Set the above flag. ed# because it needs it, syscons
because it looks stupid to "detect" the display you have already filled up
with text :-)
bt742a.c: Check bt_cmd() return-val during probe, thus failing on adaptec's.
Also silenced various printf's during the probe.
isa.c: Probe devices with the above flag set before the rest. Reduce the
number of "conflict" messages per device to one.

Please test the GENERIC-kernel now, if nobody can make it fail, GENERICAH
and GENERICBT has a finite and short life-expectancy...

of mb_offset given the right sequence of 1 and 0 byte mbufs. This bug
was discovered by John Hood who also provided this fix - which is a
rewrite of the routine (and is easier to understand than the code I wrote).

Fix endless loop in siopoll() for an event on a tty with no tty struct.
Don't generate unwanted interrupts in the serial console driver. These
bugs probably don't matter unless the tty struct is dynamically allocated.
Support polled mode. To use it, leave out the irq and the vector in
the config file. It only causes extra overhead for open polled ports.
The maximum usable speed is approximately 1000 bps for a 16450 and
15000 bps for a 16550.
Other cosmetic changes.
the first place was so that BPF could grok trailer packets. I've since
decided that this is a job for tcpdump to decipher (if at all). Also
fixed up checks for received packet length to better cope with ancient
starlan boards.

WARNING: might hide some bug below! I commit this to improve the stability
of 2.0.

I have been running a kernel with this change since October 4th; barring
unrelated network router troubles, the pitiful little machine has
completed several builds without any interaction from me, and continues
to chug along.
I re-read wd.c, and added appropriate printfs() to look for references
to dk_badsect[]. My changes should have printed something when dk_badsect[]
was referenced.
I got no output :-(
Thus, I'm forced to concluded that something else is examining some
spurious memory... which happened to be in dk_badsect[] of the disk structure
in wd.c. I can find no other explanation of why this unnecessary
initialization causes things to operate correctly.
On the premise that such an initialization isn't going to hurt anything,
I'm going to suggest it go into 2.0.
I'd like to thank everyone for there assistance, particularly David,
John and Bruce.

New AMD family ethernet driver. Should support BICC,NE2100, TNIC,
AT1500 and anything else that uses a Lance/PCnet type chip. Only been
tested with the BICC so far though.
Still work to do on performance and MULTICAST support needs to be added
but it's basically working and I want the revision history from this
point on

improvements from 1.1.5.1. I tried to compile a kernel without BOUNCE_BUFFERS
with the previous version for my Bt946c and it puked and died. Bringing
these enhancements back in allows the faster controllers to DTRT while
still not messing up the older ISA/broken VLB controllers, since
bounce-buffering is still the default. In theory, anyway. Bt445S and Bt545S
folks should start testing this ASAP! (actually, Bt445C and Bt545C folks
even more so!).
This is needed for having the fdformat program no longer searching
non-public include paths.
Protect the definitions in fdreg.h against double inclusion.
more work required to grab all fonts
2)Make standard VGA font as default, make HARDFONTS an option
(load iso8859 fonts instead)
3)Check fonts_loaded for all restore (copy_font...palette)
sequences.
