Hi there,
i got a new board (ASRock J3455-ITX) that's based intels apollo lake
SoC. I've updated the bios to the latest version (1.4) and all things i
need are supported by openbsd out of the box on 6.2-current, except for
the graphic chip, an integrated Intel HD Graphics 500 chip.
Unfortunately, when i boot the system, the screen goes black very soon
(after the cpu info scrolls by) and then it never fully boots (login via
ssh is not possible), so i cannot see or check what's wrong.
If i disable inteldrm on boot, the system boots, ssh works and i can use
the system. Trying to start X fails however.
As i intend to use the system as a headless server, i do not really care
if the card really works, but i'd like to be able to boot the system
without disabling inteldrm every time.
This is the firmware i've currently installed:
$ doas fw_update -i
Installed: intel-firmware-20180108
The graphics card shows as
vga1 at pci0 dev 2 function 0 vendor "Intel", unknown product 0x5a85
rev 0x0b
Is anyone else here using this board, or is this error due to some
changes in the recent snapshots? Any help is appreciated.
This is not an OBSD specific problem.
Intel integrated graphics is crap.
They cause problems for a lot of people.
Do yourself a favor and disable the integrated graphics
and get yourself any cheap graphics card.
Preferably AMD based.
I have the same motherboard running the 2018-01-06 snapshot just fine, albeit
without inteldrm installed (according to fw_update -i).
Hi Eric,
that sounds great! Would you mind sharing your dmesg? Do you use the
UEFI or the compatibility mode? Did you make specific changes in the bios?
