I am wondering what problems I am going to run into with the 4.1-
RELEASE and a Macbook Pro.
Right now I have tried to boot up the latest snapshot on my Core Duo
Macbook Pro and it hang right after the usb and rd0 line. From what I
understand, this is the last line before entering userland and trying
to run the rc scripts, right? Searching around I found no occurances of
this problem or much of anything documented for OpenBSD and the Macbook
Pros. Chatting on IRC gave me the boot -c option to try to use a
verbose message. In another message I found somewhere, it also
suggested boot -v.
boot -c brings up a UKC> prompt which does not seem to accept input.
The insert point or line seems to bounce back and forth very rapidly
from the prompt to the line above it about 30 - 50 characters to the
right. boot -v (obviously) does not work, as apparently that's a bad
option for bsd.rd.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can debug this and/or fix it?
search the archives under 'macbook pro' and 'acpi'
I searched and found information regarding this before I posted to this
list, and I checked it out further after you mentioned this again. I am
afraid that if the solution is there, I am missing it.
The threads regarding the Macbook Pro and ACPI support all seem to
indicate that they can successfully boot to the install prompt once they
enable ACPI through the UKC config prompt, which may or may not be usable
until an user inserts a USB keyboard into one of the usb ports (perhaps
only one particular port may work). However, this is not working for me.
Even with an external keyboard in the computer, I am unable to get the
system to respond at the UKC prompt. Booting without the prompt also
results in a hang at a point which seems different than the hanging points
that the other posters are reporting. My computer seems to hang right at
the end of booting the kernel, after it prints a line starting with "rd0,
...." and some other kind of information and numbers.
I also couldn't find any particular threads on this problem which applied
particularly to the Macbook Pro. Most of the articles I found were about
the Macbook. Am I misreading something?
