I'm seeing a very early crash with NetBSD-5.1-STABLE on embedded server board. This is a somewhat customized version of 5.1, built from the head of the netbsd-5 branch. The install media is using a static (no LKMs, not modular) kernel based on GENERIC, but of course with a memory disk for the installer to run in. The same crash apparently happens regardless of whether ACPI (and/or SMP) are enabled or not. (i.e. booting with flags "-12" didn't change anything) Similar crashes happened with netbsd-4, but only with the GENERIC.MP kernel. The INSTALLER kernel, and the customized system-specific kernel both work fine. Unfortunately I don't have direct access to one these systems, or even a console connection, at this point. I should be able to get a trace-back soon though, and in the mean time I'll build an even more customized install media using a kernel configuration that was known to work with the netbsd-4 branch. booting cd0a:netbsd 11605916+13360612+708240 [523120+517114]=0x197bf84 initial mem_cluster_cnt: 0 BIOS MEMORY MAP (8 ENTRIES): addr 0x0 size 0x9cc00 type 0x1 addr 0x9cc00 size 0x3400 type 0x2 addr 0xe0000 size 0x20000 type 0x2 addr 0x100000 size 0x7f2e4400 type 0x1 addr 0x7f3e4400 size 0x4800 type 0x3 addr 0x7f3e8c00 size 0x400 type 0x4 addr 0x7f3e9000 size 0x417000 type 0x2 addr 0xfff00000 size 0x100000 type 0x2 final mem_cluster_cnt: 2 KVA space seems to be: 1041334272 buf_memcalc: bufcache is preset to 5% buf_memcalc: bufmem calculated to be to 106717184 bytes kernel text is mapped with 3 large pages and 19 normal pages loading 0x7000-0x9c000 (0x7-0x9c) loading 0x1a88000-0x7f3e4000 (0x1a88-0x7f3e4) Loaded initial symtab at 0xc197dc74, strtab at 0xc19fdb88, # entries 32676, NKSYMS=1 Copyright (c) 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 The NetBSD Foundation, Inc.
