5.0 Installation work, but hangs on boot

[Sabbel]

Hi,

I have a strange problem. I will use a Netbook (intellibook Atom 570) with OBSD. The installation of AMD64 or i386 works, but every boot after the installation hangs.

These are the last dmsg's:

npx0 at ...
mtrr: Pentium Pro MTRR support

Any ideas what to do?

Thanks

Thats not so easy, because the system hangs at boot. I wrote this off:

I have tried to disable pcibios and vscsi in UCK, but no success. I have activated verbose mode in UCK, but the last line was also "mtrr: Pentium..."

Would you consider downloading a snapshot of -current, & attempt to install it?

Unfortunately there's nothing in that dmesg fragment that indicates the cause of your trouble, Sabbel. Ocicat's suggestion will let you know quickly if the problem has already been isolated and repaired; -current is already well ahead of 5.1, which will release on or about 1 May.

Why did you decide to disable vscsi and pcibios drivers?

[shep]

On my system the next devices that the kernel probes are usb devices

mtrr: Pentium Pro MTRR support
ugen0 at uhub2 port 1 "Hewlett-Packard HP ScanJet 5200C" rev 1.00/1.00 addr 2
vscsi0 at root

softraid0 at root
scsibus2 at softraid0: 256 targets
root on sd0a (2c939a346e284ad9.a) swap on sd0b dump on sd0b

Do you have any usb devices attached to your system.? Can you disable ugen? Could you have a solid state drive attached as ugen?

[Sabbel]

Hi all.

Thank you for your responses!

I found in the net that some people have problems with vscsi and pcibios, so I tried to disable this.

disable ugen -> no success.

I tried with current 5.1 snapshot of 2. April. Sometimes this versions starts a bit more (e.g. until to sshkeygen!), but sometimes it hangs at different points after the mtrr... no complete boot.

Argh...

[Sabbel]

Perhaps it is a problem with the identification of disks? I read something about this in the net. But I can't remove the disk out of the case (only service can open this netbook).

bsd.mp hangs, bsd.sp hangs, only bsd.rd starts (the installation).

I have to disable acpi. Now the boot works in 5.0.

Two questions & a comment:

• Is this an older motherboard?
• Can you now post the entire output of dmesg(8)?
• You will be helping yourself, the project, & others if all of this information is communicated to the developers by sending a problem report:
  
  http://www.openbsd.org/report.html
  
  Being thorough & articulate is a good thing. This will help the developers identify & correct the issue(s) involved so you don't have to experience these behaviors again.
