Hi everybody,

I plugged a PCI USB card in my good old Ultra 5 box (running Debian Etch
with 2.6.24 kernel), but the card doesnt show up in lspci.

Is there anything special about PCI support on UltraSparc?

There are some jumpers located on the riser card, but since I dont have
any documentation I dont want to play around with them :)

Regards,
Chris

Not as far I known.

I think the original poster is encountering hardware defects.

Hardware test to preform:
* place a known to be working PCI (Network) card in the Ultra 5

* place the PCI USB card in known to be working PCI slot.

Hi Geert,

I ripped the USB card off my wife's PC (where it was working fine).
I also tried other cards on the Ultra, without success.

The machine itself runs pretty stable, I used it for about 8 hours yesterday without any glitches. So I don't want to talk about a hardware problem yet. ;)

Is there any possibility to debug this (from PROM monitor for example) ?

Btw, here's the lspci output (if that helps) :

Hi,

I got it working :)

There is a small jumper pad on the riser card (I mentioned it in my original post) labeled "JSCAN RING END POINT"
with one jumper for each PCI slot and possible settings "PASS" and "END".

In my case, all jumpers were set to "PASS". I put the jumper for PCI slot 3 to "END" and now my box recognises the USB card.

Sun hardware is really weird. Anyway, thanks for all your suggestions ;)

Regards,
Chris
