Hi, I have some older hardware that I am currently trying to install NetBSD on. In some cases I have not yet succeded; I'll describe one case here and start another thread for a different computer.
The situation is that I have a Dell Optiplex 740 which happily ran NetBSD for a long time, but the HDD failed, so I replaced it with an SSD, and I'm trying to install NetBSD 10.0 (amd64) on it. The installation hangs after a while; I'm copying the last bit of the messages below: [ 2.6297051] ukbd0 at uhidev0 [ 2.6297051] wskbd1 at ukbd0 mux 1 [ 61.6629741] waiting for devices: atabus1 atabus2 atabus3 [ 121.6968080] waiting for devices: atabus1 atabus2 atabus3 [ 181.7306411] waiting for devices: atabus1 atabus2 atabus3 [ 241.7644750] waiting for devices: atabus1 atabus2 atabus3 [ 301.7983080] waiting for devices: atabus1 atabus2 atabus3 viaide0 channel 1: reset failed for drive 0 [ 311.2736479] WARNING: system needs entropy for security; see entropy(7) [ 311.2736479] swwdog0: software watchdog initialized [ 311.2736479] WARNING: 1 error while detecting hardware; check system log.
