Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers SCO OpenServer 5 Will Not Boot Post 303026625 by spock9458 on Friday 30th of November 2018 04:46:16 PM
Old 11-30-2018
Things are getting a little more convoluted in my head, and I know that with SCO it is vital to perform the correct steps in the correct order. I am sure I'm not doing that, so I need some more help. With the new server hardware, the CD drive is actually an IDE device, connected to the IDE port on the mb. The HD is connected to SATA port that is emulating IDE. In BIOS when I look at the Boot order, it shows my HD as IDE 0, and my CD as just IDE, so I'm assuming it is the Secondary Master with respect to the IDE terminology. The CD drive in the old server was also attached as the Secondary Master IDE, but I guess that the old settings need to be replaced by new settings by using "mkdev cdrom"? I have been trying to do this, first I performed the removal of the CD drive in mkdev, but I did not rebuild the kernel and reboot - I just immediately tried to add the CD drive again and I got the message saying there was already a CD Rom device at that location. Do I need to reboot after each step of this process, and am I even doing the right thing? If I get it done correctly, is this the right command to mount the CD: mount /dev/cd0 /mnt? Thanks for all your help and patience with me.

stpcide

STPCIDE(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						STPCIDE(4)

NAME

     stpcide -- STMicroelectronics STPC IDE disk controllers driver

SYNOPSIS

     stpcide* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000

DESCRIPTION

     The stpcide driver supports the STMicroelectronics STPC x86 SoC internal IDE controllers, and provides the interface with the hardware for
     the ata(4) driver.  The driver features DMA mode 2 and PIO mode 4 transfer speeds.

     The 0x0002 flag forces the stpcide driver to disable DMA on chipsets for which DMA would normally be enabled.  This can be used as a debug-
     ging aid, or to work around problems where the IDE controller is wired up to the system incorrectly.

SEE ALSO

     ata(4), atapi(4), intro(4), pci(4), pciide(4), wd(4), wdc(4)

BUGS

     The timings used for the DMA and PIO modes are for STPC Atlas and its siblings with their PCI clock configured at 33 MHz.	Other speeds
     including the STPC Vega Ultra-IDE controller will need adjustments.
