Hi, I'm trying OpenBSD for the first time, and have experienced issues getting the installer to boot on my netbook. My netbook is a Toshiba NB500 (part number PLL50A-00M00D) with an Intel Atom N550 CPU. As it has no CD drive, I used PXE with the following two files:
5.0/amd64/pxeboot 5.0/amd64/bsd.rd When booting the installer, I got a panic. The output visible on my screen at the time of panic is as follows: ======== START OUTPUT ======== acpiprt3 at acpi0: bus 9 (EXP3) acpiprt4 at acpi0: bus -1 (EXP4) acpiprt5 at acpi0: bus 17 (PCIB) pci0 at mainbus0 bus 0 bridge mem address conflict 0xf0500000/0x100000 pchb0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 "Intel Pineview DMI" rev 0x02 vga1 at pci0 dev 2 function 0 "Intel Pineview Video" rev 0x02 wsdisplay0 at vga1 mux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation) "Intel Pineview Video" rev 0x02 at pci0 dev 2 function 1 not configured "Intel 82801GB HD Audio" rev 0x02 at pci0 dev 27 function 0 not configured ppb0 at pci0 dev 28 function 0 "Intel 82801GB PCIE" rev 0x02: msi pci1 at ppb0 bus 5 ppb1 at pci0 dev 28 function 1 "Intel 82801GB PCIE" rev 0x02: msi pci2 at ppb1 bus 7 athn0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 "Atheros AR9300" rev 0x01: apic 4 int 17 uvm_fault(0xffffffff80bc1970, 0x0, 0, 1) -> e fatal page fault in supervisor mode trap type 6 code 0 rip ffffffff8017dfd5 cs 8 rflags 10286 cr2 0 cpl e rsp ffffffff80bf5890 panic: trap type 6, code=0, pc=ffffffff8017dfd5 The operating system has halted. Please press any key to reboot. ======== END OUTPUT ======== As the fault occurred right after the line beginning with "athn0", I tried booting the installer again, after removing the wireless adapter (it is Mini PCI Express), and the installer booted perfectly. Here is some relevant output from the 'lspci' tool under Linux: ======== START OUTPUT ======== 07:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9300 Wireless LAN adaptor [168c:0030] (rev 01) ======== END OUTPUT ======== I hope that this information is helpful. If you need any more, please let me know and I will be more than happy to help in any way I can.
