FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE not bootable on a Dell Latitude D510
Hi all, I received a Dell Latitude D510 today and I wanted to boot FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE from the computer's DVD drive. However, the booting process stopped abruptly with the following messages: fwohci0: EUI64 36:4f:c0:00:07:ce:d8:30 NMI ISA b0, EISA ff RAM parity error, likely hardware failure. Fatal trap 19: non-maskable interrupt while in kernel mode instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc05093c2 stack pointer = 0x10:0xc10209b0 frame pointer = 0x10:0xc10209c4 code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, IOPL = 0 current process = 0 (swapper) trap number = 19 panic: non-maskable interrupt trap Uptime: 1s Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort I also tried to boot without ACPI, but without any further success. I tried to boot 4.11-RELEASE as well, and this version also panics with a non-maskable interrupt trap. The final messages from booting 4.11 were: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c /stand/sysinstall running as init on vty0 panic: non-maskable interrupt trap syncing disks... done Uptime: 3s Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort Verbose booting of the 4.11 revealed nothing more. I guess I might be in need of a different kernel, perhaps one with the options KDB_STOP_NMI or the options POWERFAIL_NMI. Or it could even be a BIOS setting I need to change. Does someone know how to boot the Latitude D510 with 5.4-RELEASE? Booting the pre-installed Microsoft Windows XP from the laptop's hard drive goes as expected. ;) freebsd-mobile might be a more suitable mailing list, but I thought I'd give -stable a go. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Trond Endrest?l | trond@gtf.ol.no Patron of The Art of Computer Programming| FreeBSD 4.8-S & Pine 4.55
