an interesting one perhaps...
Model: Dell Latitude D800
Platform: i386
OpenBSD Version: 3.7 GENERIC
During installation I have attached a netgear FA511 pcmcia 10/100
ethernet adapter.
the installation process recognises it as interface dc0. it allows me to
configure it with an ip address etc.
the output from dmesg looks like:
dc0 at cardbus0 dev 0 function 0 irq 5 address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
ukphy0 at dc0 phy 1: Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface
ukphy0: OUI 0x000749, model 0x0001, rev. 1
i then reboot after installation is complete.
panic during boot up, the following error:
panic: pmap_remove_pte: managed page without PG_PVLIST for 0xeb5e3000
i know this is relevant to the FA511 because this exact panic happens
when I attach the card to the 'live' system.
i'd love to include 'trace' and 'ps' outputs from 'ddb' but it's
late(for me anyway) and the laptop has no floppy drive and I can't be
arsed setting up ftp (even if I knew it would work).
the outputs from 'ps' and 'trace' will follow shortly.
my only question is this: why is the FA511 recognised and allowed to be
configured during the installation process, but attempting to use it
after installation breaks the whole system?
i realise the FA511 is not officially supported by 3.7, but it's
confusing why it should work during installation and not afterwards.
thanks
