4.6/i386 hangs when installing on a Gateway laptop
I am also having a problem booting the OpenBSD 4.6 install CD on a Gateway CX200 laptop / tablet, but disabling APM as per above instructions didn't solve it. The same CD installed on other computers, so it's not a media issue. I also tried changing some BIOS settings, which had no effect. This laptop handled Linux, FreeBSD, and even Haiku w/o any major problems.
The last line of blue-bg output (following "COM# at" lines) is "pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60/5". Then something bizarre happens: the computer freezes with ALL indicator lights shining bright blue (regardless of the battery / adapter condition), and even the power button doesn't work, so the only way I had of turning it off was pulling out the battery. Another time it shut off by itself after a few minutes, which probably happened due to overheating. No permanent damage was done to the laptop. |

Using "boot -c" to "disable pckbc" results in a different situation:
The boot process devolves into endless "uhub1" / "uhub2" / "uhub3" messages in various combinations appearing every 3-7 seconds: "port error, restarting port [#]", "port error, giving up on port [#]", and "illegal enable change, port [#]". I waited about 15 minutes to see if it gives up and continues, and then held the power button, which worked this time. I have no external devices attached to the laptop except an Ethernet connection. (And even if had worked, isn't pckbc the keyboard controller driver, without which I wouldn't be able to do anything?) |

The first poster used a 4.6 snapshot

Burn a snapshot CD and see how that goes.

This time with I noticed that the "(I)nstall (U)pgrade (S)hell" prompt (black bg) does appear when I use "disable pckbc", but the keyboard isn't working and I have no way to communicate with it before the screen gets flooded with the aforementioned "uhub[#]: [...]" error lines (blue bg). I think this prompt also appeared with the 4.6 release CD as well, it just scrolled off-screen before I could recognize what it was. I also tried disabling pckbd in addition to pckbc - this resulted in output ending with: "dumping to dev 1101, offset 0", "dump error 19", and "rebooting ..." (which it never did, until I used the power button a few minutes later) prior to it ever getting to the black-bg I/U/S prompt. Quote:
Yeah, it looks like "disable apm" doesn't affect my issue at all. My bad if it was wrong of me to append to this thread instead of starting a new one. I'm really hoping someone will suggest something else I can try to resolve this... |
|

ocicat was hinting that you should try disabling acpi instead of apm, and disabling the keyboard controller will not solve your problem.
You may wish to upgrade your BIOS, that might help.. or not. |

A pity that the latest snapshot shows similar behaviour If you really want this to be resolved you should connect another PC to the first serial port of your laptop and follow the procedure tersely described in http://www.openbsd.dk/faq/faq4.html#getdmesg Then send the dmesg to the OpenBSD misc mailing list, so an developer can have a look at it.

J65nko's response was correct. Tagging occurred in July because sufficient lead time has to be factored into the schedule for official CD sets to be manufactured & be available for shipment on the official release date. The process doesn't occur overnight.

Just double-checked with Gateway and I did have the latest BIOS version for my CX200X laptop (62.0702 from 02/16/2007). Quote:

it. This laptop doesn't have a floppy drive. The thought of serial ports hasn't crossed my mind since 1990s - I'd have to RTFM on what I have, but I certainly don't have any cables for them. Too late on a Sunday night to try to go out to get one... Any chance of it being able to log dmesg to HDD or USB, or over Ethernet / telephone modem? |
|

I'm pretty sure you have to boot before you can mount, no?
Chicken-and-egg problem... |
|

RE: chicken and egg problem
You are right, you cannot mount an USB drive, because the system hangs, before you get to the shell/installer prompt. With the install kernel already hanging during the hardware probing stage, the only possibility is capturing of the dmesg through the serial port. Because you set up logging in the boot loader prompt Code:
boot> set tty com0 A verbose boot would even be better: Code:
boot> set tty com0 boot> boot -c ....... ...... UKC> verbose autoconf verbose enabled UKC> quit

My first reply seems to have gotten lost. Your Freebsd dmesg shows all 3 versions of usb drivers to be loaded and your OpenBSD install message probing for usb ports would suggest the problem is there. If you have no other usb devices plugged in you should only need the EHCI and OHCI drivers.
I suggest trying to disable legacy usb support in the bios and/or using apm to disable UHCI. |
|

Tried disabling *hci in various combinations and a few other BIOS changes - still no luck. Going to give up on this for a while. I'm grateful to everyone for trying to help.
The serial thing ain't happening - got too much to do this week, and I already moved on with another OS on that laptop... Will give OpenBSD on that laptop another try in subsequent releases. If someone here can pass the word up Theo's chain of command to make disk logging of boot-time messages / code dumps easier that would be great. |

With a serial cable the logging of these messages is very easy. Here is a sample:
Code:

Because some laptops don't have external serial ports, and opening it up to check the motherboard simply isn't an option when you need to have that laptop working ASAP?
In any case, I continue to be a big fan of OpenBSD in other situations, but not for this laptop - unless of course the issues are resolved in later versions, or someone makes a debug bootloader that can log boot messages to HDD, USB, or netcat (whichever is easier to implement w/o loading the full kernel). Stupid question - can the startup messages be written to the BIOS DMI event log? |
