7.6-amd64 on Vivobook_ASUSLaptop X17032A_K17032A†

• Posted by zfl at 2024-10-24 (Thu) 03:10:20
• Release: 7.6-amd64-202410211
• Media: USB flashdrive
• Hardware: Vivobook_ASUSLaptop X17032A_K17032A (CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-1220P, Memory: 8252719104 (7870MB))

Remarks†

Currently have OpenBSD 7.5 sucessfully installed and running. Tried to "install" (use) #FuguIta 7.6 but get the screen locked up top to bottom lines displaying: Process (pid 1) got signal 4
And the bottom line of the monitor seems to be glitching, flashing. Seems to be having an issue with the display adapter though why OpenBSD 7.5 works is a mystery.

• Sorry, could you try /test/FuguIta-7.6_init-amd64-202410241.{iso,img}.gz ?
  #FuguIta -- kaw 2024-10-24 (Thu) 08:22:05
• On Intel's 12th or later generation CPUs, OpenBSD crunch binaries may not work properly with E-cores enabled; try disabling E-cores in the BIOS.
  #FuguIta -- kaw 2024-10-25 (Fri) 00:09:35
• Would you check /test/FuguIta-7.6_tst4-amd64-202410262.img.gz ?
  #FuguIta -- kaw 2024-10-26 (Sat) 16:07:01
• No luck. Same result/error. Used latest test img file. 202410272. Looked in BIOS for ecore settings but could not find any. Downloaded latest firmware, still no option. #FuguIta -- zfl 2024-10-27 (Sun) 07:55:49
• Thank you. Debugging is go on. Other reporter said that E-Core settings don't matter.
  #FuguIta -- kaw 2024-10-27 (Sun) 09:25:18
• Just an update: I clean installed OpenBSD 7.6 on the same laptop without issue. Will continue to try test images of FuguIta and check here for any updates. #FuguIta -- zfl 2024-10-30 (Wed) 02:52:03
• Thank you very much. It seems to be related to a feature called IBT in recent Intel CPUs. We will continue our investigation and countermeasures.
  #FuguIta -- kaw 2024-10-30 (Wed) 17:32:18
• The newest is /test/FuguIta-7.6_cts8-amd64-202411021.{iso,img}.gz. Would you test this?
  #FuguIta -- kaw 2024-11-02 (Sat) 11:07:34
• Could you please test /test/FuguIta-7.6_ctsf-amd64-202411081.{iso,img}.gz? This worked on my machine. (#FuguIta-7.6_ctsf-amd64-202411081 is based on the -current release of OpenBSD. Please note that it is not a -stable release) -- kaw 2024-11-08 (Fri) 03:06:01
• The current/latest test image works: FuguIta-7.6_ctsf-amd64-202411081.img.gz thank you! #FuguIta -- zfl 2024-11-09 (Sat) 09:37:04
• Not sure if this is a related issue (if not, I can create a new thread) but the iwx wifi driver does not work out of the box and on the model of laptop I have, it does not have a physical ethernet port to plug in, it is wifi only. So I need some way to load a newer iwx driver onto the .img. I tried the instructions that OpenBSD has in their FAQ using vnconfig but it did not work. Getting error: "iwx0: could not read firmware iwx-so-a0-hr-b0-77 (error 2)" then "iwx0: failed to load init firmware" #FuguIta -- zfl 2024-11-09 (Sat) 11:28:24
• The above method will not work because the file system structure of FuguIta is significantly different from that of vanilla OpenBSD.
  Please try the following method.
  

1. Download from http://firmware.openbsd.org/firmware/7.6/iwx-firmware-20240513p0.tgz on another PC/OS and save it to external storage such as a USB memory stick (FAT partition recommended).
2. Boot your FuguIta 7.6.
3. Mount the device the firmware is saved.
4. Execute the following command on the directory where the firmware is:

   fw_update -v iwx-firmware-20240513p0.tgz

5. Save the environment with the sync subcommand of the usbfadm utility.
6. If you specify mode 3 since subsequent boot, the environment with the firmware will be loaded and WiFi will be available.
7. FuguIta provides the utilities - gennetconfs for generate a network setting, chnetconf for change network setting. For information on such WiFi operations on FuguIta, please see this.

I do not have a PC that requires the iwx firmware, but I tested this on a PC that requires iwm.
