Hello, I'm currently running Windows 10 on an HP ZBook 15 G4 and I am trying to install OpenBSD 6.3 to a USB key so that I can boot it on this laptop during times when I need something better than Windows for network troubleshooting (such as proper VLAN support).
Unfortunately, while the install goes well I am unable to properly boot from the key. Here's a summary of what I did: 1. Put 'install63.fs' on a USB key. 2. Boot laptop from key. No problems here. 3. Run the installer and install to a second, connected USB key using the 'whole disk (G)PT' option at the partitioning step. 4. Reboot and try to boot from the newly-installed key. 5. While a lot of "acpitzX" messages are flying by suddenly there is a panic, lots of stuff gets written to the screen, and then I arrive at the 'ddb>' prompt. 6. If I boot again and disable ACPI from the kernel config then the panic doesn't occur, but many "uhubX: device problem, disabling port X" lines eventually appear in succession, and the boot process suddenly stops at "scsibus4 at softraid0: 256 targets" and stays there forever. Since the key with 'install63.fs' booted just fine I'm pretty sure there's a way I can get OpenBSD to boot on this laptop, but I don't know the differences between the kernel used during install and the "normal" kernel so I don't know why the normal one has issues. I'm also completely clueless about the kernel debugger so I don't know where to start to find the cause of my problem. Does anybody have any advice on how I can get OpenBSD to boot properly from the USB key on my laptop? Thanks, -Martin P.S. If it helps, here is the output of 'dmesg' as run from the installer shell: OpenBSD 6.3 (RAMDISK_CD) #98: Sat Mar 24 14:26:39 MDT 2018 dera...@amd64.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/RAMDISK_CD real mem = 34258653184 (32671MB) avail mem = 33216593920 (31677MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: SMBIOS rev. 3.0 @ 0x8d764000 (35 entries) bios0: vendor HP version "P70 Ver. 01.18" date 03/20/2018 bios0: HP HP ZBook 15 G4 acpi0 at bios0: rev 2 acpi0: tables DSDT FACP SSDT UEFI SSDT TPM2 SSDT SSDT SSDT MSDM SLIC WSMT HPET APIC MCFG SSDT SSDT SSDT SSDT SSDT SSDT SSDT DBGP DBG2 DMAR NHLT SSDT ASF!
