I had difficulties installing OpenBSD-current (the 9/1 snapshot) on a Dell Precision 380 (manufacturing date: 07/23/05) with an Intel dual-port gigabit Ethernet card (em(4)). The installation was done using a home-brewed bootable CD.
I encountered the following three problems and I hope someone can help or point me in the right direction. Problem 1 ========= The CD booted fine, but the keyboard hanged at the "(I)nstall, (U)pgrade or (S)hell?" prompt. I noticed in the dmesg (below) that several devices were not recognized, so that's probably the problem. Could SATA be part of the problem too? Problem 2 ========= Since the keyboard hung, I tried installing using the serial console. This time the OpenBSD installation program said that no disks were found (see serial console output below). Problem 3 ========= The dual-port Intel card was not recognized, where the dmesg said "The EEPROM Checksum Is Not Valid". I found similar reports in the misc@ archive, but there were no solutions. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-misc&m=111834108727054&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-misc&m=111844056613828&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=110869176700003&r=1&w=2 The Intel card is an Intel PRO/1000 MT Dual Port Server Adapter (product #PWLA8492MT). The packaging has the following details, if it's relevant. Date: 10/18/2004 Version: A85400-006 I suspect it's a new Intel card that has been marketed with the product number of older Intel cards, and that's probably why the em(4) driver did not like it. I'm pretty stuck right now, so I'll really appreciate any help on how to troubleshoot the above problems. I have tried to provide as much details as possible, but if you need further information, please let me know. dmesg and serial console output are appended below.

This program will help you install OpenBSD in a simple and rational way. At any prompt except password prompts you can run a shell command by typing '!foo', or escape to a shell by typing '!'. Default answers are shown in []'s and are selected by pressing RETURN. At any time you can exit this program by pressing Control-C and then RETURN, but quitting during an install can leave your system in an inconsistent state. Terminal type? [vt220] kbd(8) mapping? ('?' for list) [none] IS YOUR DATA BACKED UP? As with anything that modifies disk contents, this program can cause SIGNIFICANT data loss. It is often helpful to have the installation notes handy. For complex disk configurations, relevant disk hardware manuals and a calculator are useful. Proceed with install? [no] yes Cool! Let's get to it. You will now initialize the disk(s) that OpenBSD will use. To enable all available security features you should configure the disk(s) to allow the creation of separate filesystems for /, /tmp, /var, /usr, and /home. No disks found. #
