Since this is an IP35-based system I thought I'd be able to collect the L1 information, but when I tried to run "l1cmd serial all" it locked up the machine. Not sure what's up with that...

Congratulations - that's a very nice Fuel.


Interesting about the serial all induced lockup - anything interesting appear in the system or L1 logs?

[smj]

Earlier this month I came across an auction for a Fuel with the following description:

USED SGI SILICON GRAPHICS FUEL

Working
700 MHz
2 GB RAM Memory
73 GB Hard Drive
Irix 6.5 Operating System Installed (May Need Reintall)
Irix 6.5 OS Disks included

* ITEM WILL BE SOLD AS IS

Not exactly a verbose description, but if accurate at US$300 this was already a good deal. The fact that the IRIX CDs looked like a later release didn't hurt any, and if the hinv picture was accurate there was a GigE card installed.

Well, the CDs turned out to be for 6.5.30. The gfx turned out to be V12, and there's a dual-channel LSI 22320-R UltraSCSI 320 controller as well as the SGI-tagged 3COM 3C996B-T. And totally unexpectedly <drumroll please> there was a DMediaPro DM6 PCI card (013-3745-002) digital video card installed as well. (For more on the card, I started this thread in SGI:Hardware.)

After I can image the disk this will probably become my primary IRIX desktop. I'll be looking around for one of the supported PCI audio cards. I've already maxed out the RAM and added the DVD-ROM drive.

Pictures to follow shortly.

[recondas]

$300 would easily classify as an early Christmas gift.

After I can image the disk this will probably become my primary IRIX desktop. I'll be looking around for one of the supported PCI audio cards. I've already maxed out the RAM and added the DVD-ROM drive.

Be interesting to see if any of the apps you mentioned in your DM6 thread include video control or capture tools. The DM6 <and the DM3, for that matter>, used OpenML rather than the traditional IRIX Video Control Panel <VCP> and IRIX video daemon <videod>.

[smj]

Congratulations - that's a very nice Fuel. Interesting about the serial all lockup - anything interesting appear in the system or L1 logs?

Thanks - and I'm not sure about the L1 logs, because when I tried running "l1cmd log" it locked up again. Not sure it's useful, but here's what I've got from the serial port during a startup after I'd added the RAM and DVD drive (and restarted, otherwise you'd see the PROM message about previously unknown RAM).

XXXX console login:


Interesting bit there with the console login - the graphics console automatically logs in as the "opal" user and tries to start up some apps, which appear to fail-restart-fail in an endless loop. Other messages indicate the failure is related to the other network nodes which are no longer reachable.

I haven't tried talking to the L1 via the dedicated USB port yet. Due to disk space limitations, the laptop that's hosting the DINA VM can't also have the L3 VM at the same time.

[recondas]

I haven't tried talking to the L1 via the dedicated USB port yet. Due to disk space limitations, the laptop that's hosting the DINA VM can't also have the L3 VM at the same time.

There should be a DB9 serial port on the motherboard <right next to the planar SCSI connector> that provides a slightly more convenient connection to the L1 controller. You might try those commands with only the L1 running.

[smj]

Nothing shocking about the pictures, but just for the sake of completeness...

[smj]

There should be a DB9 serial port on the motherboard <right next to the planar SCSI connector> that provides a slightly more convenient connection to the L1 controller. You might try running the commands with only the L1 running.

I took the cable I'd been using to speak to the external serial port and plugged it into the motherboard DB9, but it came all the way up to the menu on the V12 w/o any activity on the L1 connector. No "linenoise" indicating a speed mismatch, just an absence of any output. Whacking the enter key makes no difference.

If it's a crossover/null modem issue, I'm lacking anything to suit for DB9... Guess I'd better check the docs.

[recondas]

I took the cable I'd been using to speak to the external serial port and plugged it into the motherboard DB9, Guess I'd better check the docs.

That same cable ought to work - what serial port settings did you use - 38400 / 8 / N / 1 / ?

[Dr. Dave]

You should be able to find the DB9 cross-cables super cheap at your local satellite shop, they were often used for upgrading firmware on FTA units.

[smj]

I hate it when I out-clever myself. The console serial port is set to run at 9600, but I ass-umed that I'd see garbage even if the L1 port was running at another speed... So here's the L1 log:

OK - I'm curious to see the various hardware revisions in serial all.

[Dr. Dave]

The Sound Blaster Audigy (with the firewire port) works fine, though the firewire port is purely cosmetic. The Audigy2 cards have sample-rate issues that render them problematic on a Fuel. Some of the later 'cheaper' Audigy cards don't use the EMU chip though, so best to stick with the original Audigy (or the Audigy ES, same minus the firewire).

An M-Audio Revolution 7.1 is the best one obviously but practically unobtanium, and the RAD boards require an external DAC.

That's interesting, because the recommendations I'd read specified the Audigy2 ZS. Does the "ZS" avoid the sample-rate issues you mention?

Bear in mind there's one potentially relevant piece of information I left out of the top post - the existing installation is IRIX 6.5.18. Could be missing one or more patches, etc.
