All,
I have a Toshiba 5005-S504 laptop (a wonderful legacy-free box that's I've cussed to no end) that I'm trying to get DP1 to boot on so I can cvsup and take a look (and hopefully contribute something). I was able to install, but after installation the system soft hangs after displaying a message about CPU power states (sorry, going off memory for now). I'm able to break to the debugger, so what information from dbg would be helpful at this point? Also, I'm pretty sure it's acpi that's causing the problem, so would someone point me to the syntax for disabling a module preload?
Thanks, Rob
I was tracking down a similar hang and had to disable acpi (turns out I'm an idiot and the apparent hang at boot was because I forgot console was redirected to the serial port of the machine next to it), but I had to jump through hoops to do it it seems. I believe all you have to do is 'unset acpi_load' at the boot loader prompt. I had tried 'set acpi_load=NO', and finally 'unset module_path' to keep the kernel from finding /boot/kernel/acpi.ko.
Hope this helps, Anthony Jenkins
After the last couple of days of cvsup's, the system now boots and runs. I haven't tested much on it yet, as I just got a working kernel config, based on OLDCARD, late last night. I've attached the output of dmesg for anyone interested. Some things to note, this system doesn't have a floppy installed, but uses a usb floppy, has an integrated modem, irda, bluetooth, and firewire ports, an nvidia geforce 2 go, and is intel 815-based with a regular p3 chip, not the mobile version. Also, again, it's a legacy-free model, so no serial, game, or parallel ports, just lots of usb ports.
Also, in sysconfig, since usb mice appear to be supported in the OS, could sysinstall be patched to allow you to select usm0 as the mouse port?
Thanks, Rob
