I have an old Asus T100-TA which I would like to use with OpenBSD.

I'm able to install Linux in it, but I'm having issues with OpenBSD.

When I try to install OpenBSD, it shows this error: https://i.imgur.com/5r6lUHO.jpeg

> panic: uvm_mapent_addr_insert: map ... insert collision ... > > dump to dev 17,1 not possible > > panic: kmmaplk rwlock ...

Some logs:

> acpi0 not configured > > cpu0: using Silvermont MDS workaround >
> Intel Bay Trail Video / LPC / XHCI

It seems that OpenBSD did detect the SoC (Silvermont core, Bay Trail platform) but ACPI tables weren’t parsed correctly. I think this is might be because some Bay Trail / Cherry Trail Atom devices (2013-2016 era) have incomplete ACPI.

I've read that I could boot without acpi doing this:

> boot> boot -c > > UKC> disable acpi > > UKC> disable mpbios > > UKC> disable smp > > UKC> quit

So I wrote boot -c, and it entered UKC, but it hangs there, no keyboard entry. It looks like this (older 7.7 install photo but it's the same with 7.8: https://i.imgur.com/RmBCk89.png

So, I can't really disable acpi from UKC as the keyboard is not active there. I also tried with a USB keyboard, but that also didn't work.

Can I prepare the media beforehand without acpi or do any other fix?

It would be great to be able to install OpenBSD in this little laptop.

Thanks!
