Hello Brynet, thanks for the suggestion, I just finished installing
4.5-current using a snapshop, the BIOS did not have option for P&P
unfortunately. With this version I am having more problems, I still have
the reboot problem when trying to execute Xorg, and still running Xorg
under ktrace makes it work. So using ktrace I ran Xorg but the chips
driver refuses to start, it complains about not being able to find a
device. But even if it worked, I do not think running X under ktrace is a
very good idea, X is already a bit slow on this machine without ktrace's
help.
Upgrading to 4.5 from 4.2 wasn't such a good idea after all, I think I am
going to stick to 4.2 until 4.6 comes out, I do not know if it is a good
idea to use a version that old but I do not seem to have any other option.
Just out of curiosity, what are you using your P1s for?. I use this little
laptop for a bit of development, not being able to run firefox on it makes
me more productive!, no youtube, bbc/iplayer and friends to get
distracted with :)
Thanks
Tenoch
|Hi Tenoch,
|
|I'm the proud owner of several early P1-class systems like that, PCI
|interrupt routing is always.. sketchy.
|
|Some other options you might wish to try:
|* Look in the BIOS for a setting similar to "Plug & Play OS", set that
|option to "No".. this will force the BIOS to setup some hardware prior
|to passing control over to OpenBSD.
|* Try a 4.5-CURRENT snapshot, some related changes were made that
|might help things.
|
|Good luck..
