Subject:   Scanner installation

Hi, I'm still trying to get my HP 4P (SCSI) scanner going with my eCS 
2.0 rc7 installation.
I reinstalled eCS and was able to install ASPIROUT.SYS
My config.sys shows:

BASEDEV=AIC7870.ADD
BASEDEV=OS2ASPI.DMD /ALL  /SHARE
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\ASPIROUT.SYS

all present.

I added:

SET EMXOPT=-h120

Also added  /V to the device line for ASPIROUT.SYS and to the basedev 
line for AIC7870.ADD.

Booting without the scanner attached proceeds normally and the above 
drivers are shown to be installed. However when I check the hardware 
manager There is no AIC7870.

When I connect the scanner to the SCSI plug booting fails with the error 
message:

Exception in module: OS2KRNL

The system is stopped. Record all the above information and

Can anyone advise what I should do to get my scanner recognized?

On the assumption you are booting from IDE, ie, PATA or SATA,
ensure that BASEDEV=AIC7870.ADD comes AFTER your
IDE/DANI drivers.

BASEDEV=DANIS506.ADD
BASEDEV=DANIATAPI.FLT
BASEDEV=AIC7870.ADD
BASEDEV=OS2SCSI.DMD
BASEDEV=OS2ASPI.DMD /ALL /SHARE

It's been a while since I've used a SCSI scanner on my
main machine so would have to check but do you need
ASPIROUT.SYS for scanning ?
Possibly if your using TAME ?

>SET EMXOPT=-h120

Your are probably better off using this as a catch all :-

SET EMXOPT=-c -n -h1024

Which is correct, if there are no SCSI devices on the chain the device
driver wont load.

Been so long since I've read an Exception, I'd have to go read up
on them again to decipher it.

>Can anyone advise what I should do to get my scanner recognized?

Step by step.

The machine I have a SCSI card in is UNI so I'm not even
sure if the driver has a problem with SMP or ACPI (eCS rc7
so I also assume your using ACPI).

You could try changing your PC to uni and see if it works.
If you need to know the steps, email me and I'll tell you the
basic's as well as disabling ACPI.

We can then put ACPI back, see if it works, then progress to SMP.
If could also be the SCSI card needs a remap command in
x:\os2\boot\acpi.cfg or where ever acpi.cfg lives on your PC
so the card's IRQ is remapped to a low IRQ as ACPI might be
trying to remap it high.

Thanks for the tip.  I tried it and it seems to be working OK ............but

An interesting new sort of behaviour has emerged - the machine boots and loads everything up fine, seems to be working OK for a variable period of time (usually between 4 and 10 minutes) then locks up solid. It doesn't seems to matter if I just boot to the desktop and leave it running or boot up and run a program it just locks up.

The only other symtom seems to be a slight increase in processor fan speed.

Any ideas anyone?

Andrew

Followed your advice. 3rd line above was after 1st but before 2nd so 
changed them to above.

Yes! Tame2 requires ASPIROUT.SYS according to my reading and previous

Changed this to your suggestion.
After above alterations, reconnected scanner and rebooted but with same

Next, removed /SMP /APIC parameters and disabled APM support. Rebooted; 
this time successfully and TAME/2 found scanner and I can scan. Guess 
I'll have to just use uni for eCS. It's a pity as ACPI was working well. 
Windows and Ubuntu should be OK with the dual processor. WIN XP is on 
another drive but Ubuntu is installed in a logical partition after eCS.
WIN XP finds the scanner and checking it's drivers, for SCSI & Raid 
controller, it has Adaptec AIC-7850 PCI SCSI controller, IRQ 19.

Under imaging devices it shows: HP Scanjet and driver files as:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\drivers\scsiscan.sys
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\hpsjmcro.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSYEM32\wiafbdrv.dll

My config.sys shows the line PSD=ACPI.PSD
ACPI wizard says, "You have currently ACPI version 3.17 installed."

Hardware manager shows:
AIC7870_Adaptec 7800 Family SCSI Adapter
IRQ11 I/O 0xD 100-0xD 10F Address lines:16 EXC

Any further suggestions to get ACPI working with the scanner?

Thanks for the help,

Alan

I'm using an Adaptec 2906 SCSI card. I followed Ian's suggestions and 
have the scanner working but only in UNI processor mode. I'm awaiting 
Ian's reply to see if I can get it working with the dual processor.

Thanks for your interest.

Presuming you are using eCS 2.0 RC7 ......

Possibly ACPI could be the problem. Do you have power management set to 
use APM or ACPI ? Try switching to the other option. Also try the latest 
ACPI if you don't already have it, and even download an older version 
and try that.

Is this a dual core system - if so are you running it in SMP mode or not ?

In ACPI_SMP_DRV.DOC (and also in PSD_EN.INF) it says

* Adaptec 2906 SCSI, aic7870.add
    use REMAP to move the card to low IRQs
    aic7870.add /IRQ 18 doesn't work

Might be worth a try.

In the ACPI_SMP_DRV.doc, it suggests

Realtek 8168/8169 - Don't forget to enable APIC: 

therefore I have PSD=ACPI.PSD /APIC /SMP as the first line in my config.sys

Also,  go into MPTS setup (Adapters and Protocols)  and make sure the 8169 adapter has the parameter

Excuse my ignorance, but how does one use REMAP? Is it a program or some 
command?
Hardware manager shows AIC7870 to have IRQ 11. Other devices also have 
IRQ 11 so does it matter if I change the IRQ to a lower IRQ number that 
other devices have, e.g 1,2, 3 or 4?

Subject:   Using REMAP in ACPI.cfg

If you open x:\os2\boot\acpi.cfg in 'e' or your favourite
text editor, you will see the remap section close to the
top.

 ; Use IRQn instead IRQm in APIC
;   Format:
;   REMAP N TO M
;   Where N source IRQ in APIC , M - IRQ to set for Kernel
;   possible format for N and M. Digit (17) , Hexadecimal (0x11), Octal (
021 )
;
; For this "Use IRQ5 instead IRQ19 in APIC", 
;==============
; REMAP 19 TO 5
; REMAP 0x13 TO 05
;==============

First though you need to find out what ACPI has remapped
the device you are interested in to. ie, ACPI might have decided
to assign the IRQ 18 to your Sound Blaster Live! card, if
you use Sander van Leeuwen's driver, it doesnt work if the
IRQ's are above 15 so you need to 'remap' the cards IRQ
back to a value under 15.

In the ACPI doc's you will find the file ACPI-IRQ.doc,
Section 3.2 is the bit you are interested in.

================ ACPI-IRQ.doc 3.2 ============
3.2  Usage of REMAP
___________________

The purpose of REMAP is to make the old drivers unable to understand 
the high irq levels to work in APIC enviroment remapping the high IRQ 
given by the APIC back to PIC lower irq. 
     
So, if you have the driver that does not work with high irq 
(i.e. well known SYM8XX.ADD or SYM_HI.ADD) do the 
following to make it work in APIC mode:

       1. Boot without /APIC and do copy acpica$ acpi.log
       
       2. Find in acpi.log the pci scan log and the line in it
corresponding 
          to your device. It will look like

          4:1.0  1000:21       IRQs: PCI:10 PIC:'LNKA':10 APIC:24 Apic
Set: 10 

          There 1000 - vendor id, 21 - device id of your device. You can
find 
          the vendor/device ids of your device in pci.exe output. Just 
          search there the name of your device. In this line we see the
ordinal 
          PIC irq level is 10, APIC irq level is 24. So we must map 
          back 24 irq to 10

       3. Put the line REMAP 24 10 in \os2\boot\acpi.cfg, put /APIC switch
to 
          your ACPI.PSD, reboot.
          You may need more the one such iteration to make all your
drivers 
          to work fine in APIC. This stuff is not very convenient to
perform, 
          but there are ways planned to ease the remaps for end users in
future 
          releases. 
     (thx nickk)            
================ ACPI-IRQ.doc 3.2 ============

Now, the problem, getting the PC to boot with ACPI, the SCSI card,
and the scanner connected and on all at the same time :-)

2906 has no Adaptec support for OS2 - don't know what this implies other than the 
driver may be flakey for this use,

If you have a spare IRQ available, when your computer boots and
your see the Adaptec BIOS screen, press Ctrl-A to enter the cards
setup. somewere in there is a spot you can change the IRQ of the
card.

It will probably work fine sharing IRQ's as you have a later dated
kernel but I'm a bit old school, unless I have to, I dont like sharing ;o)

In that case, lets see, I have

1 x AHA-1540CF (ISA)  <== These work well with OS/2.
4 x AHA-2940UW (PCI)  <== These work well with OS/2.
2 x AVA-1502AE (ISA)
1 x AHA-2920A (PCI)          

All the others are LSI, NCR, and I cant remember which other
ones I had working under OS/2 ok but your welcome to have
a AHA-2940UW

BUT if it works under UNI then its probably ok to use that card
and try to get it going under SMP with ACPI.

You can always try using IBM's SMP driver and rem out the
ACPI driver altogether, going back to the IBM APM (Advanced
Power Management) driver as well.

ACPI comes in handy with motherboards and cards that insist
on using high IRQ's, or without ACPI share "to" many devices
on the same IRQ !
