Hi dear Community,
I have a problem while installing OpenBSD on a Laptop.(My first BSD-Installation)
Laptop: Acer 420 DLC
Processor: Intel Celeron 1,7 GHz
Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 32MB
RAM: 256 MB
HDD: 20 GB
These OS' worked fine:
- Windows XP
- Minix3
- Debian
- antiX
Bootloader is GRUB.
So, the error Message was:
npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0/16: reported by cpuid: using exception 16
It hangs there.
I found this thread:
http://daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=10269 with the same issue.
So I tried to solve the problem like there:
boot> boot -c
UKC> verbose
UKC> quit
Last line where it hangs was: >>> probing for pcic2 failed
Additional to that I formatted the HDD with gparted in FAT32, but that didn't work either.
I never noticed any hardware problems...
I attached two pictures:
First: Hanging at npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0/16: reported by cpuid: using exception 16
Second: After verbose boot
Oh, and the install media was the i386 install63.iso (should be the right .iso)
Tested OpenBSD in VirtualBox on another Computer and it hangs there for a few seconds on the same line (npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0/16: reported by cpuid: using exception 16) but then it proceeds to installation without problems.
Any ideas?
