Re: install/49470: NetBSD 9.0 RC1 reboots after bootloader (HP Compaq 6005 Pro / AMD Phenom II)

Hi,

It is quite unlikely that your issue is related to the original bug
report since hardware was VIA based (VIA C7-M+VN896) HP 2133 netbook.
The typical actions I would try to do: 1) boot without ACPI/SMP
enabled (boot -12) 2) if you're booting using USB media, you can try
to change some relevant USB options (speed let's say, depends on BIOS)
or try to boot from non USB media (CD, netboot or install it to HDD on
the compatible machine and attach it to your system). If any of those
boot, you can check dmesg output for potentially unsupported hardware.
Finally you can try to boot older releases to see if it worked before.
Otherwise you are probably out of luck (playing with some BIOS options
like switching between AHCI/IDE modes may help but not necessarily).

P.S. gnats-bugs%netbsd.org@localhost should be added as one of email addresses.
