HP Pavilion dv2000 laptop wont boot off install cd

[kkutzko]

Laptop details :

HP Pavilion dv2000 (dv2422ca)

Specifications (taken from
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=au&docname=c01070158&dlc=en&l
c=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_AUEN ) :

Product Name: dv2422ca
Product Number: GM039UA#ABC / GM039UA#ABL
Microprocessor: 1.8 GHz AMD Turion T 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile
Technology TL-56
Microprocessor Cache: 512KB+512KB L2 Cache
Memory: 2048 MB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)


I tried to boot from 7.0-release-AMD64, 7.0-release-i386 and
6.2-release-i386 install disks (about to try 6.3-release-amd64). I could not
successfully boot up the computer using the install disks mentioned.
Sometimes there would be a memory dump (scrolling infinitely), sometimes I
would get the following message(s) :


elf_32_lookup_symbol : corrupt symbol table

loading required module 'pci'
ACPI autoload failed - no such file or directory

          00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
BTX halted


There is no significant BIOS option in this laptop that I can think of to at
least begin to trouble shoot this issue. Laptop works fine for other
operating systems as far as I can tell.  

Initial documentation suggests that this laptop should work, however, I'd
like to get some more insight from freebsd-stable before continuing.


If any additional information is required, please let me know.



Cheers,

Kevin K.

It should be noted that I just tried 6.3-release-amd64 and it doesn't work
as well.

It should also be important to note that sometimes it 'dumps' before getting
to the boot options screen in the freebsd startup.

If I do get to that screen, I have tried "disable ACPI", to no effect.

It sounds to me like you might be running into the problem others have
reported with boot2/loader.  The "continual scrolling of data" is
probably a register dump from forth.

John, do you have any tips/ideas?

This was actually just recommended to me by Gavin Atkinson earlier today. I
am downloading 7.0-STABLE-200806-amd64-disc1.iso right now and will try that
today.

I'll post the results of that here.

Thanks all for your help.

Okay I just tried the above snapshot and there are still problems -- I'm not
getting the BTX error message nor the infinite scrolling hex dump, but it
sits at loading /boot/default/loader.conf for about 5-10 seconds then does a
straight reboot without any discernable error message.

After doing some more digging, I found one suggestion from someone who
experienced a similar problem with an HP Pavilion ze2000 w/ amd64 turion
processor :

"Installation hangs at boot until you disable the apic and serial ports as
follows in the boot loader command line:

set hint.apic.0.disabled=1
set hint.sio.0.disabled=1
set hint.sio.1.disabled=1"


I'm going to try this and see if that helps. I don't really need the serial
ports on this laptop anyways, so maybe it will work.

If anyone has any other suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.


Many thanks,


Kevin K.

Adding :


set hint.apic.0.disabled=1
set hint.sio.0.disabled=1
set hint.sio.1.disabled=1


Did not help, I still got a hard reboot on the latest 7.0-release amd64
snapshot. Any further suggestions are welcome.

Thank you,


Kevin K.

I just tried to boot off the latest 8.0-CURRENT amd64 snapshot. According to
documentation, if you hold the spacebar as it is loading
/boot/default/loader.conf you can get to the boot menu. Pressing 6 and
entering :


 set hint.apic.0.disabled=1
 set hint.sio.0.disabled=1
 set hint.sio.1.disabled=1


Gets the laptop to boot. It crashing during the boot process however :

Just tried the above with 6.3-RELEASE amd64 snapshot (200806) , as well as
7.0-RELEASE amd64 snapshot (200806), with pressing the spacebar, pressing 6
at boot screen and typing the above options.


For 6.3-RELEASE, it actually got to sysinstall. For 7.0-RELEASE, it seemed
to hang at "Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/md0".

When I have time (tonight perhaps), I will try to do a full install of
6.3-RELEASE and see how that functions.  Unfortunately there are no amd64
snapshots for 200807, so if I cant install 6.3 I may wait until more updated
snapshots come out.

How long did you wait? If you didn't wait 10 or 15 minutes, please do.
Various tests / probes take a long time to time out on some hardware.

I tried the 7.0-release-amd64 200807 snapshot and it booted (after holding
the spacebar @ /boot/loader.conf). It stopped at Trying to mount root from
ufs:/dev/md0". I waited about 30-45 minutes and it didn't continue from that
point -- the keyboard was also unresponsive.

Does anyone know if this is a known issue?

I have seen this on some HP notebooks. It seems that the CD drive does
not to stabilize on time before booting, leading to some disk read
errors. The trick is to press F9 (or F12, depending on the notebook
model) to force the BIOS to show the boot device menu. Then, *after
the CD drive stop spinning*, choose the boot from CD/DVD option.

Try to disable kbdmux before booting. Jump to the loader prompt and type:

set hint.kbdmux.0.disabled=1
boot -v

If you think things can't get worse it's probably only
because you lack sufficient imagination.

Can you try

set hw.ata.atapi_dma=0

from the loader prompt.

It's a long shot but it just might work.

As it's a laptop, you might need to do all the other stuff as well.

I was finally able to get it to boot. Here's what I did :

1. Bringing up the boot choice menu before the loader starts to let the
cdrom settle before selecting to boot off cd
2. Entering "set hint.kbdmux.0.disabled=1" in the boot loader prompt

What happened, unfortunately, was the USB keyboard I had plugged into the
laptop didn't work after the command in #2, obviously. I'm not sure if this
will happen every time I boot, or perhaps will work if I plug in the
keyboard after waiting to boot, but at the very least I can get into
sysinstall now. I will be installing 7-release this weekend and I will post
any relevant updates in this thread.

Thank you all for your help and assistance in this matter, it is greatly
appreciated.
