Hi all,

I received a Dell Latitude D510 yesterday and I wanted to boot FreeBSD
5.4-RELEASE from the computer's DVD drive.

However, the booting process stopped abruptly with the following
messages:

fwohci0: EUI64 36:4f:c0:00:07:ce:d8:30
NMI ISA b0, EISA ff
RAM parity error, likely hardware failure.

Fatal trap 19: non-maskable interrupt while in kernel mode
instruction pointer     = 0x8:0xc05093c2
stack pointer           = 0x10:0xc10209b0
frame pointer           = 0x10:0xc10209c4
code segment            = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
                        = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags        = interrupt enabled, IOPL = 0
current process         = 0 (swapper)
trap number             = 19
panic: non-maskable interrupt trap
Uptime: 1s
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort

I also tried to boot without ACPI, but without any further success.

I tried to boot 4.11-RELEASE as well, and this version also panics
with a non-maskable interrupt trap.

The final messages from booting 4.11 were:

Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c
/stand/sysinstall running as init on vty0
panic: non-maskable interrupt trap

syncing disks...
done
Uptime: 3s
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort

Verbose booting of the 4.11 revealed nothing more.

I guess I might be in need of a different kernel, perhaps one with the
options KDB_STOP_NMI or the options POWERFAIL_NMI.

Or it could even be a BIOS setting I need to change.

Does someone know how to boot the Latitude D510 with 5.4-RELEASE?

Booting the pre-installed Microsoft Windows XP from the laptop's hard
drive goes as expected. ;)
