Hi,

I tried my brand new HP Compaq laptop 6710b under DragonFly, but 
during booting
the installer CD it "throws" a page fault:

This happens with the latest snapshot version as of yesterday and also 
with the
1.10 release.

FreeBSD 7.0-BETA3 silently hangs during boot, while NetBSD 4.0RC_4 
works like a charm (it can even dual-boot windows natively)!

Any hints?

For starters, what does NetBSD report as the hardware and can you 
capture *any* scan, dmesg, or other report from FreeBSD 7-BETA3 or DFLY?
Dmesg of NetBSD-4.0_RC4 is appended.

I can start FreeBSD 7-BETA3 if I disable the LAN in the BIOS and boot without 
ACPI as explained here:

I tried the same with DragonFly, but that didn't helped.

And have you tried DFLY and/or FreeBSD with the various boot options 
selected - or can you not get far enough to do so?
I can, but it doesn't help much. I tried "unset acpi_load", but that gives the 
same result (panic). Maybe a SATA problem I thought? But I disabled "native SATA 
mode" in BIOS, so I guess it's now seen by DF as a (P)ATA controller.

Well, I just wanted to share this, maybe this will help others. For now I don't 
want to install DF anyway, because of lack of Bluetooth and wpi (and probably 
X3100 graphics support).

Thanks!

Regards,

  Michael
