Installation on 2170-190 APTIVA hangs

Installation on 2170-190 APTIVA hangs

Post by Barton Longacr » Sun, 23 Jan 2000 04:00:00



Booting the kernel for installation hangs after the boot fd0a:/bsd is
loaded with the following message:

1523712+2043904 total=0x509c8c start=0xe0100020 entry pt at 0x100020

The system checks my floppy, CD and hard drive, then just hangs.

I've tried booting from the CD, with both flavors of disk image, and
while the identical diskettes have worked on other systems, no go on
this Aptiva.  It's a:

Model: 2170-190
K6-2
96 MB Sdram
SiS 530 video card

Everything looks pretty standard.  I found nothing on the compatibility
lists to suggest that OPENBSD shouldn't work.  Maybe I missed
something.  Please let me know if you've successfully installed on an
Aptiva, or have any hints where next to look.

Do you use the updated 2.6 bootdisk? If not, get it from one of the OpenBSD
ftp-sites.

Turns out that I had not turned off Power Management in BIOS.  Once I did
so, the boot proceded normally.  Thanks to everyone who responded.

1. EIZO 15" Monitor and Sun 2170 Model

Hi,
    I just buy Sun 2170 server model and 15" multiscan EIZO monitor.
  When I try to use the monitor,

    the monitor will disappear the first 2 lines. And I cannot open
    the X-windows.

    Do you have any experience for linking up between 2 things?
    Any helps will be appreciated.

Patrick
thanks
