NetBSD installation problem

[fgs]

Hi all forum members!
I am trying to get NetBSD 4.0 to install on my Lenovo Y400 laptop however the booting of the installation fails with the following error:

pcic0: controller 0 detecting irqs with mask 0xde18.. 3kernel: supervisor trap protection fault, code=0
Stopped in pid 0.1 (swapper) at netbsd: lapic_delay +0x76: movl %esi, %eax

Does anyone have any idea how this could be resolved? Also I wanted to save the dmesg output for posting but am not sure what command to use.

Any help for the above 2 problems would be kindly appreciated. :D

Cheers!

P.S.
I tried the OpenBSD 4.3 installation and it ran smoothly. Could it be a problem with my installation discs for NetBSD 4.0?

I see numerous unsubstantiated references to PCMCIA issues. You may be able to ferret out more information by combing through the port-i386@ mailing list. Below is a list of potentially matching the error provided:

To save console output during booting, you will need to set up a serial connection to another computer & capture whatever output is sent over the serial link. You will find further information at the following:

Commands which can be used on the remote box include tip or cu.

Hi ocicat!
Thanks for the advice. I'll try it out as soon as possible and post it to the forum whether the issues are resolved. Thanks again for your assistance!

Hi all!
The issue was resolved by disabling the reported device pcic0 through boot -c which enters into userconf mode, allowing the enabling and disabling of devices.
