hi, i downloaded a 4.8 snapshot this morning and am trying to install via pxeboot on an x30.
boot> disable acpi boot> boot bsd.rd ran fine until Which one is the root disk? [wd0] I pressed enter, and sometime after fifteen minutes had elapsed the system responded with a series of "Segmentation fault" messages and returned to the "(I) install, ..." prompt. I've been using the x30 heavily for years, most recently this morning with Ubuntu. hand-typed dmesg below. any suggestions? thanks, m OpenBSD 4.8 (RAMDISK_CD) #88: Wed Aug 11 10:26:02 MDT 2010 dera...@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/RAMDISK_CD cp0: Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) III CPU - M 1200MHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 1.20 GHz cp0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE, TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PSE36,MMX,FXSR,SSE real mem = 527306752 (502MB) avail mem = 511774720 (488MB) mainbus0 a t root bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIO, date 09/13/02, BIO32 rev. 0 @ 0xfd7f0, SMBIOS, rev. 2.31 @ 0x1f77c000 (46 entries) bios0: vendor IBM version "1KET41WW (1.02 )" date 09/13/2002 bios0: IBM 26724BU apm0 at bios0: Power Management spec V1.2 acpi at bios0 function 0x0 not configured pcibios0 at bios0: rev 2.1 @ 0xfd780/0x880 pcibios0: PCI IRQ Routing Table rev. 1.0 @ 0xfdec0/240 (13 entries) pcibios0: PCI Interrupt Router at 000:341:0 ("Intel 82371FB ISA" rev 0x00) pcibios0: PCI bus #5 is the last bus bios0: ROM list: 0xc0000/0xe000! 0xce000/0x1000 0xcf000/0x1000 0xdc000/0x4000! 0xe0000/0x10000 cpu0 at mainbus0: (uniprocessor) pci0 at mainbus 0 bus0: configuration mode 1 (bios) mem address conflict 0x1f800000/0x400 pchb0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 "Intel 82830M Host" rev 0x04 vga1 at pci0 dev 2 function 0 "Intel 82830M video" rev 0x04 wsdisplay0 at vga1 mux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation) "Intel 82830M Video" rev 0x00 at pci0 dev 2 function 1 not configured uhci0 at pci0 dev 29 function 0 "Intel 82801CA/CAM USB" rev 0x02: irq 11 uhci1 at pci0 dev 29 function 1 "Intel 82801CA/CAM USB" rev 0x02: irq 11 uhci2 at pci0 dev 29 function 2 "Intel 82801CA/CAM USB" rev 0x02: irq 11 ppb0 at pci0 dev 30 function 0 "Intel 82801BAM Hub-to-PCI" rev 0x42 pci1 at ppb0 bus 1 mem address conflict 0x50000000/0x1000 mem address conflict 0x50100000/0x1000 cbb0 at pci1 dev 0 function 0 "Ricoh 5C476 CardBus" rev 0xa8: irq 11 cbb1 at pci1 dev 0 function 1 "Ricoh 5C476 CardBus" rev 0xa8: irq 11 "RIcoh 5C552 Firewire" rev 0x00 at pci1 dev 0 function 2 not configured iwi0 at pci1 dev 2 function 0 "Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG" rev 0x05: irq 11, address 00:13:ce:66:14:3c fxp0 at pci1 dev 8 function 0 "Intel PRO/100 VE" rev 0x42, i82562: irq 11, address 00:09:6b:a0:02:0c inphy0 at fxp0 phy 1: i82562ET 10/100 PHY, rev. 0 cardslot0 at cbb0 slot 0 flags 0 cardbus0 at cardslot0: bus 2 device 0 cacheline 0x0, lattimer 0xb0 pcmcia0 at cardslot0 cardslot1 at ccb1 slot 1 flags 0 cardbus1 at cardslot1: bus 5 device 0 cacheline 0x0, lattimer 0xb0 pcmcia1 at cardslot1 ichpcib0 at pci0 dev 31 function 0 "Intel 82801CAM LPC" rev 0x02: 24-bit timer at 3579545Hz pciide0 at pci0 dev 31 function 1 "Intel 82801CAM IDE" rev 0x02: DMA, channel 0 configured to compatibility, channel 1 configured to compatibility wd0 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: <IC25N040ATMR04-0> wd0: 16-sector PIO, LBA, 34899MB, 71474162 sectors wd0(pciide0:0:0) using PIO mode4, Ultra-DMA mode 5 pciide0: channel 1 disabled (no drives) "Intel 82801CA/CAM SMBus" rev 0x02 at pci0 dev 31 function 3 not configured "Intel 82801CA/CAM AC97" rev 0x02 at pci0 dev 31 function 5 not configured "Intel 82801CA/CAM Modem" rev 0x02 at pci0 dev 31 function 6 configured usb0 at uhci0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0 at usb0 "Intel UHCI root hub" rev 1.00/1.00 addr 1 usb1 at uhci1: USB revision 1.0 uhub1 at usb1 "Intel UHCI root hub" rev 1.00/1.00 addr 1 usb2 at uhci2: USB revision 1.0 uhub2 at usb2 "Intel UHCI root hub" rev 1.00/1.00 addr 1 isa0 at ichpcib0 isadma0 at isa0 pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60/5 pckbc0 at pckbc0 (kbd slot) pckbc0: using irq 1 for kbd slot wskbd0 at pckbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0 npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0/16: reported by CPUID; using exception 16 fdc0 at isa0 port 0x3f0/6 irq 6 drq 2 biomask fffd netmask fffd ttymask ffff rd0: fixed, 3800 blocks softraid0 at root PXE boot MAC address 00:09:6b:a0:02:0c, interface fxp0 root on rd0a swap on rd0b dump on rd0b
