Boot fails on these models: Compaq X1000 http://www.freebsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=20697 "It's a p4 2.4GhZ with 256MB ram, 64MB (shared) Radeon 9000GP w/ builtin Broadcom wlan b+g+bluetooth, DVD+CDRW... [...] I boot from cd (no floppy drive) and I get to the initial menu to choose the different ways to boot. I can choose any one of them and it starts to boot, then stops turning, then power's off. " Compaq Presario R3030 http://archive.pilgerer.org/mharc/html/freebsd-current/2004-05/msg00533.html "CVS checkout of last thursday [May 6th, 2004], made complete new CD set. [...] Everything goes nice (for the first few seconds ;-)) than I get the "Welcome to FreeBSD!" bootmenu, but whatever I choose here, it displays the kernel load message and then shuts power off ...." HP Pavilion zv5000z http://archive.pilgerer.org/mharc/html/freebsd-current/2004-06/msg01951.html "There are at least 5 other people I have noticed who have expressed this behavior in different places. I would be willing to run some kind of diagnostic on my equipment if you can recommend something. FBSD 4.10 [i386 gives no error messages. It just powers down after a few seconds." Compaq Presario R3000Z Series http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=amd64/67745 - original bug report Compaq Presario R3140US - personally confirmed NetBSD and Linux can boot the same computers with no problem: http://www1.uop.edu/~khughes/presario-r3120us/ - Slackware http://cmb.phys.cwru.edu/kisner/linux/compaq-r3000/ - (R3190US) Debian http://xyzzy.freeshell.org/dmesg-gentoo-amd64-compaq_presario_r3140us http://xyzzy.freeshell.org/dmesg-netbsd-i386-compaq_presario_r3140us http://xyzzy.freeshell.org/dmesg-netbsd-amd64-compaq_presario_r3140us I'm cc'ing this to freebsd-ia32 and freebsd-mobile as this isn't exclusively an AMD64 issue, it occurs on Pentium 4 notebooks as well as Athlon 64's under i386 mode. Its seems to be specific to newer HP/Compaq laptops. Any suggestions or fixes would be greatly appreciated. :) I really want to get FreeBSD on this machine so I'll try just about anything.
