Hello,
I have an old Intel i5 desktop that I was not able to install
OpenBSD onto, and I have used for some years with other OSs.
I'd like to use this excellent OS, though, so I am trying again.
The dmesg from a bsd.rd boot is posted below. It was created using a
usb flash drive that has 7.7 installed. The flash drive successfully
boots 7.7, as tested on 2 other desktops.
I can boot bsd.rd, and even install the os on the hard drive. When I
attempt to boot ./bsd from the hard drive, or from the live system on
the flash drive, the last lines that it prints before crashing are:
spkr0 at pcppi0
wbsio0 at isao port 0x2e/s: NCT677SF rev 0x73
npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0/16: reported by CPUID using exception 16
kernel: protection fault trap code=503
stopped at softintr_dispatch+0x1: movl %esp,%epb
ddb>
After the 'ddb>', the system is unresponsive, even to a
CTRL-ALT-DEL, and requires several seconds on the power button to turn off.
Since the system crashes, I couldn't do anything with ddb, even if I knew
how to use it (at which I have no experience).
I can't enclose the output from the attempted boot because of the hard
crash. I could try to take photos or video if that is desired.
I could also copy more lines than the last 3, up to as many are on the
screen, if that is desired.
I read enough about 'boot -c' learn how to disable, and I tried
disabling the last item before the crash, which was npx0, but the
system still crashes.
If anyone has a suggestion as to what I might try next, I'd be
grateful for it.
Thank you
