Hi all I'm attempting to install 4.3-release on an old compac but I'm getting random freezes shortly after boot. The most it has stayed up is about 1/2 hour, usually it'll die within a few minutes, sometimes it'll die during boot - once it even failed during the install process. The only way to recover is to kill the power.
I'm at a loss, there is nothing in the logs, no messages, I've memtested the ram, swapped out the ram, surface scanned the disk, swapped out the disk, swapped out the nic, run without a nic, disabled acpi ... I cant think of anything else to try. I've reinstalled the original windows disk, and tried it with an old freebsd insaller I had lying around and they both work just fine. I'm not using X. My next step would be to try -stable or -current, but I dont have much faith. If anybody could shed any light or suggest further tests or ... anything I'd be very gratefull. paul OpenBSD 4.3 (GENERIC) #698: Wed Mar 12 11:07:05 MDT 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor ("AuthenticAMD" 586-class) 534 MHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,PGE,MMX real mem = 125399040 (119MB) avail mem = 113070080 (107MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 01/28/00, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfa130, SMBIOS rev. 2.1 @ 0xfc660 (12 entries) bios0: vendor Compaq version "686S4" date 01/28/2000 bios0: Compaq Compaq PC acpi0 at bios0: rev 0 acpi0: tables DSDT FACP SSDT acpi0: wakeup devices PBTN(S1) PCI0(S1) USB1(S1) USB0(S1) acpitimer0 at acpi0: 3579545 Hz, 32 bits acpiprt0 at acpi0: bus 0 (PCI0) acpicpu0 at acpi0: C2 acpibtn0 at acpi0: PBTN bios0: ROM list: 0xc0000/0x10000 0xec000/0x4000! cpu0 at mainbus0 pci0 at mainbus0 bus 0: configuration mode 1 (no bios) pchb0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 "VIA VT8501" rev 0x03 agp0 at pchb0: v2, aperture at 0x50000000, size 0x10000000 ppb0 at pci0 dev 1 function 0 "VIA VT8501 AGP" rev 0x00 pci1 at ppb0 bus 1 vga1 at pci1 dev 0 function 0 "Trident CyberBlade i7" rev 0x5c wsdisplay0 at vga1 mux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation) wsdisplay0: screen 1-5 added (80x25, vt100 emulation) pcib0 at pci0 dev 7 function 0 "VIA VT82C686 ISA" rev 0x14 pciide0 at pci0 dev 7 function 1 "VIA VT82C571 IDE" rev 0x06: ATA66, channel 0 configured to compatibility, channel 1 configured to compatibility wd0 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: <QUANTUM FIREBALL EX3.2A> wd0: 16-sector PIO, LBA, 3078MB, 6303935 sectors wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 2 pciide0: channel 1 disabled (no drives) uhci0 at pci0 dev 7 function 2 "VIA VT83C572 USB" rev 0x06: irq 11 uhci1 at pci0 dev 7 function 3 "VIA VT83C572 USB" rev 0x06: irq 11 viaenv0 at pci0 dev 7 function 4 "VIA VT82C686 SMBus" rev 0x10: HWM disabled: failed to map PM I/O space rl0 at pci0 dev 8 function 0 "Realtek 8139" rev 0x10: irq 3, address 00:c0:a8:7b:47:c8 rlphy0 at rl0 phy 0: RTL internal PHY esa0 at pci0 dev 13 function 0 "ESS ES1989" rev 0x10: irq 5 ac97: codec id 0x45838308 (ESS Technology ES1921) ac97: codec features 20 bit DAC, 20 bit ADC, ESS Technology audio0 at esa0 isa0 at pcib0 isadma0 at isa0 pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60/5 pckbd0 at pckbc0 (kbd slot) pckbc0: using irq 1 for kbd slot wskbd0 at pckbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0 pms0 at pckbc0 (aux slot) pckbc0: using irq 12 for aux slot wsmouse0 at pms0 mux 0 pcppi0 at isa0 port 0x61 midi0 at pcppi0: <PC speaker> spkr0 at pcppi0 lpt0 at isa0 port 0x378/4 irq 7 npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0/16: reported by CPUID; using exception 16 pccom0 at isa0 port 0x3f8/8 irq 4: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo fdc0 at isa0 port 0x3f0/6 irq 6 drq 2 usb0 at uhci0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0 at usb0 "VIA UHCI root hub" rev 1.00/1.00 addr 1 usb1 at uhci1: USB revision 1.0 uhub1 at usb1 "VIA UHCI root hub" rev 1.00/1.00 addr 1 biomask ed45 netmask ed4d ttymask ffcf mtrr: K6-family MTRR support (2 registers) softraid0 at root root on wd0a swap on wd0b dump on wd0b
