Hi Peoples
Im a Linux User curious about BSD, I have tried freebsd, desktopbsd, netbsd, and pcbsd but None of them seem to like my hardware... I get the same problem which is this :

panic: ohci_add_done: addr 0x3fef1d60 not found
cpuid =o
Uptime: 1s
Cannot dump. No dump device defined
automatic reboot in 15 secs

Any Ideas? I could not find any other posts with this exact same error.
any help appreciated
thanx
kaddy

Just my 2 cents.

ohci(4) is the OHCI USB Host Controller driver. If you have a USB PCI card plugged in, try removing it; if you've got any USB devices hooked up (especially USB 1.0 devices), try removing them. Then once the system is booted, do a control+alt+f1 to the systems virtual console, and plug them back in; see if she panics.

I believe, ohci = usb1, uhci = usb1.1, ehci = usb2 controllers.

As to the error message; I don't have time to inhale /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/ochi* and the OHCI/USB specficiations, but I would guess you have a device for USB (likely 1.0) with a kink in its operation, or there is a problem in how FreeBSD handle something some where else; whichever one in tern causing an issue with what the ohci driver finds. (It would take gaining an understanding of whats happening to really know; one I sadly don't have time for :-()

ok... I tried unplugging all my usb devices, and I still got the same error...
However...
I thought I would try disabling Usb Legacy support in my bios... then I tried pcbsd again, and I didn't get the error that I had before, it seemed to go well... but then I got a different error... I got this...

HARDWARE FAILURE asc:8,3

I am guessing this means that the kernel doesn't support my Cd/Dvd Drive. LOL....
That is funny if I am right...
Never had a problem in Linux Before... this is strange..
My hardware is as generic as it gets! lol.

its an oldish Pioneer 16x16 cd/dvd rom drive :lol:

would have to read the scripts being run to know ;-)

Best hit up the developers.

Yeah, I suppose that would be the next logical step, but neh.
Im too lazy to mess about much more.. if it don't work on my hardware, then bugger it. maybe the next release will have better hardware support built into the kernel :shock:
but i won't hold my breath :twisted:

I'm only a Linux user curious about Bsd.. Linux works just fine for me

cheers for your help anyways.

What works, let's us get stuff done, and doesn't cause hair loss in the progress - is usually a good idea ;-)

Hey, let's watch those "bald" jokes. :-)

LOL, sorry !

It came from thinking of what would happen to me if I had to manage around dozen~50++ windows boxes xD.
