HP Elitebook 8440p Install CD boot crash

E

eyebone

Hey folks,

Just testing the Elitebook 8440p for FreeBSD and recognized a crash instantly (with the install cds/dvd's) when the bootloader is started, I get some stack trace as well, maybe I can post a picture. I tried with amd64 8.0, 8.1-RC1 and 7.1 i386.

Any tip what the reason could be or how to circumvent it?

UPDATE:

(Almost) the same with usb stick, just in difference here I get (sometimes) to the beastie menu, after this automatic reboot. Ubuntu Linux install cd's booting fine.

I just got it to boot the amd64 install memstick, which crashes with a fatal trap 9: general protection fault while in kernel mode. If I choose default boot, instant crash and reboot. If I choose without acpi boot I get kernel trap 9. Escaping to loader prompt and trying to do something like this:

https://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=14747

stalls at a point where the memstick as /dev/md0 should get mounted but it's not :(

So I guess I ran into some acpi problem perhaps? I disabled already tpm stuff's maybe some other odd security mechanism?

cheers,
 
IDE-controller in BIOS

Hi

In my BIOS setting I changed this setting:
Under SATA devices , I changed from AHCI-controller to IDE-controller
Afterwards I could install FreeBSD with no problem.

I'm running FreeBSD 8.2 amd64 on HP, Elitebook 8540p

Code: 
alfa# uname -a
FreeBSD alfa 8.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE #0: Thu Feb 17 02:41:51 UTC 2011     root@mason.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
