Off topic, but this reminds me an old todo item. In NetBSD 4.0 days, DEC2000 / Jensen support was still incomplete and it hung right after interrupts were enabled: https://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-bugs/2007/07/22/0001.html https://gnats.netbsd.org/36628 Recently Miod Vallat told me that he found a Jensen's quirk in a Linux source and suggested a possible fix for NetBSD/alpha. I was so lazy to call for testers for the suggested change, but finally I've committed it (Jensen has never worked anyway): https://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2020/09/19/msg122103.html --- Modified Files: src/sys/arch/alpha/jensenio: com_jensenio.c Log Message: Possible fix for hangup on Jensen mentioned in PR/36628. According to comments in Linux drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250.h, https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250.h?h=v5.8#n242 the driver has to set OUT1 and OUT2 lines for "some ALPHA" otherwise "the machine locks up with endless interrupts." Note OUT2 (MCR_IENABLE) is set in MI com_attach_subr() so we have to set OUT1 (MCR_DSR) in the MD attachment. The information was notified from Miod Vallat. --- If anyone still has a working Jensen, it's much appreciated to test a current daily snapshot kernel (or 9.0 with the above change) on it.
