Re: Intel D201GLY2 install failure, OpenBSD 4.4

2008-11-08 Thread Jamie Cuesta
Thanks to LEVAI Daniel for providing his dmesg.  To add mere confirmation, I 
too was able to boot 4.4 release with NIC interface active/recognized after 
'boot -c' + 'disable acpi', however I was unable to muster the skill to 
accomplish the ftp transfer.  Is Daniel's dmesg sufficient for debug, or would 
a capture of a default-config dmesg (with all its error messages) be 
beneficial?  If the latter, I will endeavor to connect a floppy drive...

 Ok, you are having serious interrupt issues.  The only
 thing I can
 think of to try is disabling acpi (via boot -c), but
 that's a long
 shot.

 Use ftp.

First: I'm a noob, so some of what follows may be utterly basic and ignorant.

It seems that in order to use the ftp option, I need a functioning network 
interface(?).  However when I boot using the install CD and choose (s)hell, 
here's what I see:

# ifconfig
lo0: flags=8008LOOPBACK,MULTICAST mtu 33204
groups: lo
#

Note that one of the boot messages in my first post seemed to indicate that the 
on-Mobo NIC was among the devices affected by a bad interrupt problem:

sis0 at pci0 dev 4 function 0 SiS 900 10/100BaseTX rev 0x91pci_intr_map: bad 
interrupt line 19
: couldn't map interrupt

Is there any way around this (involving only the shell available to me now)?  
If not, I suppose I'll see if I can dig a floppy drive out of my bonepile and 
pray that _it_ works.

Thanks, Jaime

This system has a IDE CD-RW drive, and two SATA HDD's.  After failing OpenBSD 
4.4 install last week, I installed Debian stable on this system w/no problems.  
But I'd rather use OpenBSD so reporting this problem in hopes it can be fixed 
(mobo is a nice low-cost fanless mini-ITX, so could appeal to many).  My web 
searches show this problem being reported occasionally in the past but none I 
saw no reports for this mobo with 4.4 release.

I was hoping to include a dmesg via serial port capture (my box does not 
include a floppy), but 

boot set tty com0
switching console to com0
com0 console not present

Web searches suggested I could mess with the BIOS to get around this problem, 
but the only BIOS setting for the serial port is enable/disable: I switched to 
disable mode with no change in results.

FWIW, Jaime
