1. Chromebook HP 14 has intel CPU: Intel(R) Celeron(R) 2955U @ 1.40GHz. Installers 5x,6x, and 7x will stop (and some panic) in the middle of boot of i386. For amd64 it will not even load the kernel.
2. If I install it on another machine and then boot on HP chromebook 14, NetBSD version 5.2.3 will boot and run well. Even the X starts ok.
3. Other NetBSD versions like 6.0, 6.1 and 7.0 on i386 will never finish booting.
4. All amd64 versions (5.2, 6.0, 6.1,7.0) behave as if the CPU was not amd64 capable. (however linux and openbsd 64bit work flawlessly)

 Put them anywhere, and add URL's to them here. If you need space to host them,
 let me know.

 Thank you very much!

 1. Can you type 't' at the debugger prompt to get a backtrace and post that.
 2. Looks like it is ACPI related, can you disable ACPI and try to boot?
 3. You are booting and i386 kernel that's why you are only seeing this as
    an i386. Can you try booting the amd64 kernel from the amd64 port?
 4. Can you look if there is a bios upgrade for your machine? It might fix
    the ACPI problem.

 Anyway, the backtrace will be helpful figuring out why it crashes.

 Thanks,

 christos

 Hi,

 I have the same computer (Chromebook HP 14). I succeed running netbsd 6 & 7
 (i386) on it with a lot of debugging.
 Without PAE option in kernel config, i don't know why but the 4GB of ram
 were not detected. This was causing a lot of crashs.
 Trying to enable PAE might be a good test (and disable acpicpu to try).

 if i understand correctly, long standing PAE bug has been solved by this:

 Thank you all for being so helpful. I will test both the solutions
 - kernel without pae
 - new kernel in current
 and let you know how I ended up.
 cheers

 Christos, as I wrote down, I also tried the amd64 but that would never 
 even load kernel. No success without acpi as well.

 Hello folks,

 PROBLEM RESOLVED: the workaround is to compile the i386 kernel with PAE 
 and without cpuacpi.
 (as suggested by julien kroczek)

 I can confirm the comp successfully boots when I compile the i386 kernel 
 PAE and comment out CPUACPI.
 Even if my memory is only 2GB, standard kernel seems to be unable to 
 check it.
 The other proposal, to boot the latest kernel, did not work, both the 
 latest amd64 and i386 from nyftp.netbsd.org failed to load. Amd was not 
 even able to start booting.

 Unfortunately the kernel would not recognize the wireless card and it 
 cannot find a driver for my usb/lan adapter mos0 which works flawlessly 
 in Linux, OpenBSD and FreeBSD. So the comp is pretty useless if I boot 
 NetBSD and cannot access network... :-(

 Any tips for a good usb/lan adaptor for NetBSD?
 Thanks
 Petr

 |  Hello folks,

 |  
 |  I can confirm the comp successfully boots when I compile the i386 kernel 
 |  PAE and comment out CPUACPI.
 |  Even if my memory is only 2GB, standard kernel seems to be unable to 
 |  check it.
 |  The other proposal, to boot the latest kernel, did not work, both the 
 |  latest amd64 and i386 from nyftp.netbsd.org failed to load. Amd was not 
 |  even able to start booting.
 |  
 |  Unfortunately the kernel would not recognize the wireless card and it 
 |  cannot find a driver for my usb/lan adapter mos0 which works flawlessly 
 |  in Linux, OpenBSD and FreeBSD. So the comp is pretty useless if I boot 
 |  NetBSD and cannot access network... :-(
 |  
 |  Any tips for a good usb/lan adaptor for NetBSD?
 |  Thanks

 urtwn seems to be pretty popular, which one is not recognized?

 thanks,

 Hi Christos, I tested these two:

 ONE
 Product: USB-MAC Controller,    idVendor=9710, idProduct=7830,
 Manufacturer: Moschip Semiconductor
 SerialNumber: 3b8b61e9

 TWO

 Product: AX88772B, idVendor=0b95, idProduct=772b,
 Manufacturer: ASIX Elec. Corp.
 SerialNumber: 0E8FAD


 both got attached as ugen - which means no job

 UPDATE:

 Adapter no TWO works well in NetBSD 7.0 as axe, I only tested it in 6.5 
 originally. My apologies.

 Oh, there was a little misunderstanding, you write about urtwn but that 
 means wireless, whereas I am searching for a working USB -> LAN ETHERNET 
 adapter.

 Thanks

 I have never stressed it but I have used udav(4) succesfully on
 NetBSD/amd64 -current (it was pretty cheap, bought for ~4-5 Euro IIRC).

 This is not supported yet. OpenBSD and FreeBSD have if_mos.c for it.

 This should be supported with if_axe.c
