fails to boot up due to wireless drivers issue

[rishabhrawat]

The system enters KDL on booting up, the screenshot is attached,

However if we blacklist the iprowifi4965 drivers before booting up the system boots up properly, This issue is haiku nightly builds, but not present in r1alpha4.1 (but is suspect that is because drivers are not present)

As a workaround maybe you could try to use iprowifi4965 from r1alpha4.1 on current nightly? To do this:

• blacklist stock iprowifi4965 in /system/settings/packages
• copy iprowifi4965 from r1alpha4.1 to /system/non-packaged/add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin
• create a symlink to this driver in /system/non-packaged/add-ons/kernel/drivers/dev/net

See driver changelog ​http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/log/src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/network/wlan/iprowifi4965

A syslog while blacklisting would be nice. Also the panic message on top of the KDL picture is missing.

And finally, iwn_detach() is called because of a failure earlier in iwn_attach(). The actual failure message should be visible again at the end when you type "syslog". Please provide this message.

IIRC message reprints the message printed when entering KDL.

Replying to diver:

IIRC message reprints the message printed when entering KDL.

Yeah, but iwn should log a normal failure message like "can't find blah" or "can't allocate blah", which only is in the syslog.

syslog part where is detects my wireless hardware

i am attaching the relevant images, i.e the panic message, the syslog part where it detects my hardware and the end of syslog where it points out the problem

PS> sorry i uploaded a image twice and i don't know how to remove it

I'm getting this same KDL on boot if I boot without safe mode enabled under 49058 on a System 76 Gazelle Pro laptop which uses a Centrino Wireless-N 2230.

I can sometimes get Haiku to boot with just safe mode & Use fail-safe video mode but most of the time I have to disable IO-APIC too to get it to boot successfully. I've not tried the most recent alpha release just yet.

If 2230 support hasn't already made it into Haiku, a backport of the FreeBSD 2230 driver to 9-STABLE is here:

KDL booting 49058 (GCC2 hybrid x86) on a System76 Gazelle Pro w/ Centrino 2230

[danboid]

I can boot alpha4.1 on my Gazelle Pro without any KDL nor having to use safe mode or disabling IO-APIC but unfortunately it doesn't support either of my network interfaces - Centrino 2230 and a RTL8111/8168/8411.

Maybe I can compile FBSD drivers for these under alpha4.1?

[danboid]

After blacklisting iprowifi4965, I can boot 49058 provided I use fail-safe video mode. My Gazelle Pro has Intel HD4600 GFX.

I believe support for Centrino 2230 was added in hrev49127. Please test and provide a feedback.

negative, doesn't work

iprowifi4965 synced with FreeBSD in hrev52040. Please retest.

[waddlesplash]

2200 confirmed to work in #12407, and the KDL was fixed in hrev52068. Closing as probably fully fixed; please open a new ticket if not.

[tojoko]

fix confirmed (for centrino wireless-n 2230 at least)
