Hi! I have issues booting a HP ProLiant DL180 G5 ("456830-421") [1] which I hope someone can shed some light on.
[ While writing thie email I've done some more testing and realized that the behaviour is not really consistent, but what I describe below is a typical case ] 1. The machine takes loong pauses (usually two; sometimes more) while loading the kernel. - The first long pause is after "entry point at ..." line, and is about 90s. [noticed now that pressing any key on the keyboard makes it go on... interrupt issues?] - Second pause is after "pckbd0 at isa0..." and lasts approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Dunno if it means anything, but somewhere in between the pauses described first above, the machine beeps once. I get similar beeps when adding or removing an usb stick, so it might be related to usb. 2. Sometimes the machine shuts down and restarts slightly after the kernel is loaded (might have time to show the "(I)nstall..." prompt). I don't have serial console for now so I cannot tell exactly. A few times I have seen the capital letter "F" being printed out (gray on blue) prior to the reboot. disabling isa and pci seems to make it not hang but makes it rather unusable... :-d If the machine gets past loading and initializing the kernel without rebooting, it seems fine but all I've done so far is installing 4.4. The HP product id is "456830-421" with 1G RAM replaced by 4G (2+2) and a 250GB SATA drive. The machine has no proper raid AFAICT (ie no E200 or P400) but some (likely crappy) built-in semi-raid. Reinserting the original memory stick did not improve anything, nor did removing the harddrive. The diagnostics test showed no errors, but i'm running it now over the weekend. I'm going to try a firmware upgrade too. Any clues are appreciated. dmesg from after the succesful install (bsd.rd) follows. Thanks, Alexander [1] http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/uk/en/sm/WF06b/15351-15351-3328412-3328421-3328421-3580698-3673202.html ============================================== OpenBSD 4.4-current
