Dell Precision M70 experiences

2006-03-17 Thread Koen Van Impe
Hi,

Would anyone like to share his/her experiences with a Dell Precision M70
and OpenBSD?

I want a powerful notebook and the Delly seems to be a good
price/quality beast, off course I'm open for other suggestions for a
solution that would run both of my favorite OS's (OpenBSD / FreeBSD).
This has been asked before but as hardware changes, so does the support
from OBSD ...

kr,
Koen

Re: Kernel panic on fresh 3.8 amd64 after make build

Thanks for the response. I reinstalled the machine. Updated the sources
as indicated above and then entered make build It just stopped
responding after a while. The last messages from the shell are below [1].

No panic messages on the machine...nothing. No mather how hard I hit the
keyboard, it was dead.

I then rebooted and tried to install something from the ports, just to
generate a similar amount of harddrive, cpu and memory activity. After a
couple of minutes, this is what was on the screen :

panic
--
kernel protection fault trap, code=0 stopped atmpidle +0xf3: ltr %dx

trace (hope I did copy it correctly, it was in rather hard place to reach)
--
mpidle() at mpidle+0xf3
bpendtsleep() at bpendtsleep
sys_wait4(` at sys_wait4+0x8c
syscall() at syscall+0x225
---syscall (number7) ---
end of kernel
end trace frame: 0x7f7bd2c0, count:-4 042f83cea

We have four identical, new, machines. I'll try to take another one and
see what the results are on that one but I'm guessing that OBSD has some
issues with some of the hardware installed.
