I am trying to install OpenBSD 4.6 on a old Libretto 70CT. The installation was finished without error but stuck at rebooting.
Since no PCMCIA-floppy or PCMCIA-CD-ROM on hand, I booted the boot cdimage file by Grub4DOS and performed net install. Reboot run into kernel fault. dmesg as follows: OpenBSD 4.6 (GENERIC) #58: Thu Jul 9 21:24:42 MDT 2009 dera...@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: Intel Pentium/MMX ("GenuineIntel" 586-class) 121 MHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,MMX real mem = 33255424 (31MB) avail mem = 21803008 (20MB) mainbus0 (root) bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 02/10/99 apm0 at bios0: Power Management spec V1.2 apm0: battery life expectancy 100% apm0: AC on, battery charge high, charging pcibios at bios0 function 0x1a not configured bios0: ROM list: 0xe4000/0xc000 cpu0 at mainbus0: (uniprocessor) cpu0: F00F bug workaround installed isa0 at mainbus0 isadma0 at isa0 com0 at isa0 port 0x3f8/8 irq 4: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo com1 at isa0 port 0x2f8/8 irq 3: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60/5 pckbd0 at pckbc0 (kbd slot) pckbc0: using irq 1 for kbd slot wskbd0 at pckbd0: console keyboard pms0 at pckbc0 (aux slot) pckbc0: using irq 12 for aux slot wsmouse0 at pms0 mux 0 vga0 at isa0 port 0x3b0/48 iomem 0xa0000/131072 wsdisplay0 at vga0 mux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation), using wskbd0 wsdisplay0: screen 1-5 added (80x25, vt100 emulation) wdc0 at isa0 port 0x1f0/8 irq 14 wd0 at wdc0 channel 0 drive 0: <IBM-DDLA-21620> wd0: 16-sector PIO, LBA, 1551MB, 3177216 sectors wd0(wdc0:0:0): using BIOS timings sb0 at isa0 port 0x220/24 irq 5 drq 1: dsp v3.01 midi0 at sb0: <SB MIDI UART> audio0 at sb0 opl0 at sb0: model OPL3 midi1 at opl0: <SB Yamaha OPL3> wss0 at isa0 port 0x530/8 irq 10 drq 0: CS4231 or AD1845 (vers 4) audio1 at wss0 pcppi0 at isa0 port 0x61 midi2 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 pcic0 at isa0 port 0x3e0/2 iomem 0xd0000/65536 pcic0 controller 0: <Intel 82365SL rev 1> has sockets A and B pcmcia0 at pcic0 controller 0 socket 0 ep1 at pcmcia0 function 0 "3Com Corporation, 3C589D, TP/BNC LAN Card Ver. 2a" port 0x340/16, irq 9: address 00:60:97:cd:e8:e7, utp/aui/bnu (default utp) pcmcia1 at pcic0 controller 0 socket 1 pcic0: irq 11, polling enabled biomask e145 netmask e345 ttymask fbdf softraid0 at root kernel: integer divide fault trap, code=0 Stopped at cpu_switchto+0x76: popl %ebx ddb>_ While trying boot /bsd.rd succeeded: OpenBSD 4.6 (GENERIC) #58: Thu Jul 9 21:24:42 MDT 2009 dera...@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: Intel Pentium/MMX ("GenuineIntel" 586-class) 121 MHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,MMX real mem = 33255424 (31MB) avail mem = 21803008 (20MB) mainbus0 (root) bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 02/10/99 apm0 at bios0: Power Management spec V1.2 apm0: battery life expectancy 100% apm0: AC on, battery charge high, charging pcibios at bios0 function 0x1a not configured bios0: ROM list: 0xe4000/0xc000 cpu0 at mainbus0: (uniprocessor) cpu0: F00F bug workaround installed isa0 at mainbus0 isadma0 at isa0 com0 at isa0 port 0x3f8/8 irq 4: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo com1 at isa0 port 0x2f8/8 irq 3: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60/5 pckbd0 at pckbc0 (kbd slot) pckbc0: using irq 1 for kbd slot wskbd0 at pckbd0: console keyboard pms0 at pckbc0 (aux slot) pckbc0: using irq 12 for aux slot wsmouse0 at pms0 mux 0 vga0 at isa0 port 0x3b0/48 iomem 0xa0000/131072 wsdisplay0 at vga0 mux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation), using wskbd0 wsdisplay0: screen 1-5 added (80x25, vt100 emulation) wdc0 at isa0 port 0x1f0/8 irq 14 wd0 at wdc0 channel 0 drive 0: <IBM-DDLA-21620> wd0: 16-sector PIO, LBA, 1551MB, 3177216 sectors wd0(wdc0:0:0): using BIOS timings npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0/16: reported by CPUID; using exception 16 pcic0 at isa0 port 0x3e0/2 iomem 0xd0000/65536 pcic0 controller 0: <Intel 82365SL rev 1> has sockets A and B pcmcia0 at pcic0 controller 0 socket 0 ep1 at pcmcia0 function 0 "3Com Corporation, 3C589D, TP/BNC LAN Card Ver. 2a" port 0x340/16, irq 9: address 00:60:97:cd:e8:e7, utp/aui/bnu (default utp) pcmcia1 at pcic0 controller 0 socket 1 pcic0: irq 5, polling enabled biomask fdc5 netmask ffc5 ttymask ffff softraid0 at root root on rd0a swap on rd0b dump on rd0b erase ^?, werase ^W, kill^U, intr ^C, status ^T Welcome to the OpenBSD/i386 4.6 installation program (I)nstall, (U)pgrade or (S)hell?_ Seems boot /bsd.rd skipped sound system & LPT, then assign pcic0 to irq 5 which was occupied by sound card. Then I tried disabling sound system & LPT, additionally softraid0, both in CMOS and boot_config, followed by manually assign pcic0 to irq 5. The kernel fault remained unchanged. Also, reinstallation did'nt help. I don't know what the problem is and what I could do. >From what I've searched on internet, a similar piece of 70CT run as late as >4.0 with half of RAM(16MB) and a different PCMCIA ethernet card.
