Re: Installation of 6.7 does not start on Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 3
Hi Todd try without the USB Docking device / LAN Dongle device cable attached ...

Re: Installation of 6.7 does not start on Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 3
Hi Todd, im sorry to hear that you are having that hassle... the only other thing I can think of is to clear the partition table (if you have no other data stored) on the hard disk, I have had trouble with other installers (that said, not OpenBSDs) where if I had one OS installed on the disk before I would not be able to install because of some bug in the way the Partition tables were written by the other OS. Ok just to confirm you are writing the install67.fs or install68.img to the USB drive... the usb drive is not encrypted.. you are not writing the install6.7fs or install68.img to the internal nvme disk of your laptop when you boot your laptop you get the usual OpenBSD boot prompt and you just hit enter ? looking at the dmesg it is saying softraid0 ... (which im assuming would only be relevant if you were loading an encrypted drive or a raid that is strange) I had not noticed that in a dmesg of a standard installer (I could be wrong) On Sun, 18 Oct 2020 at 04:13, Todd Brewster wrote: > > Hi Tom, > > Unfortunately, 6.8 stops exactly at the same point.

Hey Todd, Can you try to run one of the current snapshots just in case there is some new hardware in the P1 that is not recognised last of the hardware checks what INtel SGX setting do you have ? and what intel TXT Settting do you have ? Im running 6.8 current myself...

Hi Todd I just got around to testing 6.7 (before trying Current on my T15 Gen1 which I think would be the same generation as your P1 are you using a docking station ? the Nvidia Chips can play silly buggers on the docked displays...

Re: Installation of 6.7 does not start on Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 3
how did you create the USB Disk ? Have you made sure to remove all partitions / volumes from it before writing the image ? Can you try the USB Disk in another computer... ?

Hey Todd, Hakan is right, and the way Lenvo ennumerates the USB Disk (as a hard disk vs some other type of disk) might be affecting you Cheers, On Tue, 13 Oct 2020 at 03:09, Hakan E.

Re: Installation of 6.7 does not start on Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 3
Can you try a different USB stick some drivers for sticks may not work so well :/ AFAIK Secure boot I think will allow for an initial load but then crash (from my experience with windows installers half working) Emperically I think the boot loader will be fine but kernel loading might be stopped ) (im guessing loosely on that one and have not looked in too deep ... Check Secure Boot Mode to setup Mode ? (as opposed to user mode ) While you are in the neighbourhood and entirely irrelevant to the tread... while you are in the bios kill off the Hyperthreading too :) you may want to disable AMT : / (if you dont need out of band access to your laptop (or anyone else ) (levovo is cool that they can permanently disable AMT ) Hope this helps On Mon, 12 Oct 2020 at 19:23, Todd Brewster wrote: > > Hi Tom, > > Thank you for your reply.

Re: Installation of 6.7 does not start on Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 3
Hey Todd... check your secure boot option in the bios... I think it will be in the Security or Security Chip or TPM menu in the thinkpad if that is enabled it will only load a recognised image at boot time... just temporarily disable secure boot Be careful dont disable the TPM completely if you have an encrypted disk with another OS on your Laptop or you will lose the data if you dont have the Key (that could be stored in the the TPM) backed up... but the secure boot mode can be adjusted safely... and that is probably what is catching you out at the minute All the Best, Tom Smyth On Mon, 12 Oct 2020 at 01:12, Todd Brewster wrote: -- Kindest regards, Tom Smyth.
