NetBSD amelia2 7.99.15 NetBSD 7.99.15 (NetBSD-HEAD amd64.nb799-20150504) #1: Tue May  5 00:12:35 UTC 2015  root@amelia2:/BETA1/netbsd-HEAD/usr/obj/BETA1/netbsd-HEAD/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/SANDY7-DRMKMS amd64

>Description:
This computer has motherboard MSI Z77 MPOWER with onboard quasi-USB wi-fi as well as Realtek 8111E/8168 Ethernet adapter.  Trying to boot generic kernel, amd64 or i386, immediately reboots with no messages.  Booting custom kernel hangs unless I go into userconf and disable athn, or build kernel with athn commented out.  I am in 7.99.15 amd64 now with Firefox as I type this.  I suspect this problem might have begun with the latest update to the if_athn_* files 

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  77227 Feb  4 07:57 /BETA1/netbsd-HEAD/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/if_athn_usb.c
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  12867 Feb  4 07:57 /BETA1/netbsd-HEAD/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/if_athn_usb.h

where the head of the src tree is at /BETA1/netbsd-HEAD/usr/src , /BETA1 being a mount point for a partition where FreeBSD is installed.

Even before this update, most of the time, athn firmware fails to load, though occasionally it succeeds:

athn0: could not load firmware (35)

>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to boot NetBSD-current 7.99.71 or 7.99.72 with GENERIC (immediate reboot) or custom kernel with athn not disabled, or commented out in kernel config file.
>Fix:
None that I know of.  I can connect to Internet with onboard re0 Ethernet, otherwise the problem would be critical.

 Could you provide pcictl dump output for your device?
 Does -current work if you stop the boot countdown and do

 	boot -1

 ?

 Would pcictl be of any use on a USB or quasi-USB device?  What is for USB?

 athn, in contrast to ath, is (quasi-)USB, not PCI.

 I hadn't thought of booting single-processor but will try if you think that has a chance.

 I reply to gnats-bugs@netbsd.org because that's what the Reply-To: header says.

 Sorry (there are various variants of athn, I have one that attaches at PCI).

 If yours attaches to usb, a usbdevs -v output for that device would be
 helpfull.

 If I need to disable athn, or keep it out of kernel config, I suppose 
 usbdevs -v wouldn't find it?

 But I could boot an earlier NetBSD kernel, 7.99.15 or a 7.99.1 installation 
 and try usbdevs -v from there.

 Or I could even try usbconfig or usbdump from FreeBSD, although FreeBSD has no support for athn.

 I reply to gnats-bugs@netbsd.org because that's what the Reply-To: header says.

 It should still find it.

 Yes, that is the correct address for answers to be auto-added to the PR.

 Do you still want me to try boot -1 (or knetbsd /netbsd-79972 -1 if I use grub2)?

 I could try both FreeBSD usbconfig and/or usbdump and NetBSD usbdevs -v; it could take me some time to find the relevant parts.

 I could try both FreeBSD usbconfig and/or usbdump and NetBSD usbdevs -v; it could take me some time to find the relevant parts.

 Update: I did,  FreeBSD's usbconfig (by itself) gives about the same information as NetBSD's usbdevs -v .

 Here is the result of usbdevs -v:

 I booted NetBSD 7.99.72 i386; base system userland updated but packages still in sync with NetBSD 7.99.15, so vi editor works, but msmtp might possibly fail if shared libraries are out of sync.

 Atheros 9271 is the wireless adapter (athn); 3002 might be the Bluetooth.

 By the way, boot -1 failed, hung after 
 WARNING: 17 errors while detecting system hardware; check system log.
 (as opposed to 9 or 10)
 otherwise the same as plain boot.

 For this session, I booted kernel with athn commented out in kernel config.

 I see I also have some other USB utilitied installed on an old NetBSD 7.99.1 amd64 installation, would those be any use?

 USB addr 1 port 3 addr 4 (11n adaptr  (0x8172), Manufacturer Realtek, is Hiro H50191 external USB wireless adapter: not suppoeted in NetBSD but works in FreeBSD with driver rsu.
