Re: HP Compaq 6005 hanging on boot
Hi, that is indeed the weirdest thing I've heard in a while :)
I just tried it on the computer that fails, but I'm testing this with
OpenBSD on a USB stick and when it detects a CD and I don't actually
boot from it, it just boots from the harddrive instead. (Not from the
USB which is next in the boot-order)
I will try to find time tomorrow, and install it on a harddive and try
this trick again.
FWIW I got a tip off-list about putting some debug info in
/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/stand/libsa/memprobe.c to try to figure out
where it stops, and it seems to be this chunk of code at line 75:
__asm __volatile(DOINT(0x15) ; setc %b1
: =a (sig), =d (rc), =b (off)
: 0 (0xE820), 1 (0x534d4150), b (off),
c (sizeof(*mp)), D (((u_int)mp) 0xF)
: cc, memory);
I just put a printf() before and after this code and it prints the one
before it and then it just freezes.
(See diff below. This gives the output
probing: pc0 pci mem[Debug1Debug2
)
I don't know if this is helpful at all, but if someone have a diff
they want me to test or something I'll be happy to recompile boot
again and test it here.
Or maybe the bios is so badly broken that the real fix for this
would be in the form of a bios-update from HP?
I'll look for that too.
Thanks!

Yeah, me too. I guess I'll have to look for a BIOS update, though I'm
not very optimistic that one exists.
By the way, I don't understand why your trick would work in any
situation. I didn't think anything persists beyond a reboot. I am
really puzzled that it works in some situations. Weird.
The cd boot trick moves memory around enough. You don't want to know
how bios is written and this is one of those examples that proves how
bad it really is.
HP/compaq really know how to be incompatible.
Yeah, no doubt.

I have the same problem (i think) on a HP dc5850. In my test I've installed OpenBSD 4.7 on a USB drive and have sucessfully testet OpenBSD on several computers :) But when I try it on the dc5850: Attempting Boot From USB Device Using drive 0, partition 3. Loading... probing: pc0 pci mem[ it hangs. I also tried to start it with the 4.7 CD's (I tried both i386 and the amd64 cd) with the same result. I tried setting the Integrated Graphics Memory Size to a fixed size (64 MB) because I noticed that it hangs on mem[, but I really have no idea if this could possibly be related to IGM, I am troubleshooting blindly here :S Any pointers on what man pages to look at, bios settings, anything at all really, would be nice. If you need more information to be able to help, please let me know. Thanks! Hello, I tried to install OpenBSD on an HP Compaq 6005 machine, but it's not booting OpenBSD from a CD-ROM. It prints the following messages: CD-ROM: 9F Loading /4.7/I386/CDBOOT probing: pc0 com0 pci mem[ and then simply hangs. I've tried the latest 4.7 snapshot (both i386 and amd64) and 4.6/i386, all with the same results. The same machine runs Linux (Ubuntu 9.10, FWIW) just fine. I'm not sure it helps, but I've appended a Linux dmesg below (no OpenBSD dmesg since the thing won't boot). Any hints on how to solve the problem? Cheers, Rafael
