Hello!
I am trying to install NetBSD 5.1 and I'm having some issues:
Boot Option 1: Install
----------------------
I get to install until the end with
sysinst.
After installation I reboot and start to configure X.
When I do
# X -configure, the screen is filled with random characters and hangs.
Boot Option 2: Install with no ACPI option.
-------------------------------------------
2.1 The system gives the following boot messages:
Code:
...
cpu0: erratum 89 present
cpu0: WARNING: errata present, BIOS upgrade
cpu0: WARNING necessary to ensure reliable operation
panic: unknown MPS interrupt trigger
fatal breakpoint trapin supervisor mode
trap type 1 code 0 eip c057a54c cs 8 eflags 246 cr2 ilevel 8
Stopped in pid 0.1 (system) at netbsd:breakpoint +0x4: popl %ebp
2.2 The system prompts with
...
db{0}>
Boot Option 3 - Install with no ACPI, no SMP
----------------------------------------------
The system boots from installation CD, presents the
sysinst welcome screen and hangs.
The BIOS installed is version F.54, which is the latest available from support.
Is there a way to provide more detail, using dmesg or log files?
Thanks in advance.
