ThinkPad T30 memory conflict
Hi. I would like to install on IBM ThinkPad T30 (Type 2366). I have identified a memory conflict that prevents me from going through the install/setup of OpenBSD. I believe the BIOS does not indicate the memory address area to OpenBSD. I also think the issue is with Texas Iinstruments PCI-1520 CardBus Controller (PCMCIA).
During installation I tried 'memory mem -0x100000@500000000' but the conflict is still apparent. Could someone suggest how to get this sorted? Many thanks in advance. |

ThinkPad T30 memory conflict
During reboot from CD, after the boot prompt and when the kernel loads
... mem address conflict 0x50000000/0x1000 mem address conflict 0x51000000/0x1000 ... This is the normal screen we see when OpenBSD boots up. OpenBSD 4.9 and OpenBSD 5.1 I may be able to get to the shell and exclude the memory in /etc/boot.conf. I tried on the boot prompt 'boot>' machine mem -0x100000@0x50000000 and pressed return. It does not seem to recognize the memory exclusion. Is my attempt correct? Last edited by opendaemon; 2nd June 2012 at 10:06 PM. Reason: Subject missing |

The message "mem address conflict' is generated by the pci(4) driver. See /usr/src/sys/dev/pci/pci.c, line 795; here's a link to the source code file -- which has not had a patch committed since 5.1-release.

How about the boot/memory exclude attempt. It does not seem to get recognized. Is the command option correct? |

I posted to indicate to you what component of the kernel was issuing the message; I do not have enough information to be able to determine the root cause of your problem.

I recommend you post an informal problem report to the misc@ mailing list. Before doing so, please be sure to read FAQ 4.16 on obtaining dmesg(8) output on install problems (if applicable in this instance), FAQ 2.4 on bug reporting, and of course, be sure to read http://www.openbsd.org/mail.html and http://www.openbsd.org/report.html to ensure your posting is in the proper format and is complete as possible. |
