Hi, I have an amd64 (genuine AMD) latop HP zv6000 with Athlon64 CPU I want to install NetBSD on (what else?). I extra got this machine to test "real" amd64 :-P and no luck. It has a big "desktop" CPU, not a mobile version.
First I tried booting straight off the netboot iso of 8.1 It hangs after some kernel messages. I thus tried disabling ACPI and even ACPI+SMP. It still hangs and the last message seen is "AMD Cool'n' Quiet" I thus tried NetBSD 9.0 RC2 and it hangs too. Here I have no options to disable ACPI and SMP! Boot ends after a while. after having printed out: acpicpu0 at cpu0: ACPI CPU fwochi0: BUS reset fwohci0: node_id=0xc000ffc0, gen=1, CYCLEMASTER, mode ieee1394if0: 1 nodes, maxhop <= 0 cable IRM irm(0) (me) ieee1394if0: bus manager 0 Waiting does not help. The BIOS does not have many options, I cannot disable e.g. SMP, ACPI or such. Only WiFi & LAN. I disabled those... but it does not help- now.... what else can I try? I wonder also that the disable ACPI option disappeard, but especially, what the bug we have. Can I try something else? Some special option? Just for info: I tried booting a Devuan cd install I had around, and it booted up to graphical install, detected network hardware (except wifi which is detected but not enabled since it needs firmware) Help!
