HP DL180 hangs on boot
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.

Re: HP DL180 hangs on boot
I had some similar issue on the HP DL 120 G5. Solution is: desactivate the RAID controler in the BIOS. If you need the use some raid, use raidctl which is working again in version 4.4 -Message d'origine- De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] De la part de Alexander Hall Envoyi : jeudi 6 novembre 2008 14:44 @ : misc@openbsd.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Objet : HP DL180 hangs on boot Hi!

If you need the use some raid, use raidctl which is working again in version 4.4 This server has only some kind of built-in raid which I suppose is of the software-raid type. However it already was, and still is, disabled in the bios. The BIOS settings are: Compatible/IDE, Enhanced/IDE or Enhanced/RAID. I cannot swear I tested Enhanced/RAID but I wouldn't bet any money on that being the working combo... :-d I'm going to try upgrading the BIOS firmware (there was some update regarding newer intel CPUs; dont know if it applies to the Xeon E5420 but I suppose they wouldn't ship a machine with that processor with a non-working BIOS). Could be worth testing though. Anyway, thanks and don't hesitate to mention anything I might have missed. /Alexander

Good idea. Of course I'd prefer to run it with amd64 if possible, but at the very least it would be informative if it worked. Will try after the weekend. AH> uhid at uhidev1 not configured AH> ...

I've been disabling all kinds of stuff in the kernel, including usb, which AFAIK would imply the above, to no avail. Well, disabling isa and pci helped, but... well it was not the most usable machine. :) AH> softraid0 at root Is there a way to boot without a softraid (just to make sure it's not causing the problem)? Not that I am using it in any way but I guess I could "disable softraid" too... /Alexander
Re: HP DL180 hangs on boot
Status: As a last resort I tried installing Windows XP pro, but it BSOD on me while probing the hw... Not sure if XP pro is a "certified" OS for the DL180 but it certainly seems bad. Browsing some HP forums, it seems I'm certainly not the only person having issues with the HP DL180's. Seems like allover crappy and unreliable HW to me. I'll start bugging the retailer now. Thanks for all suggestions, on-list and off-list. /Alexander Alexander Hall wrote: Hi! I have issues booting a HP ProLiant DL180 G5 ("456830-421") [1] which I hope someone can shed some light on.
