for all it’s worth I got a Gigabyte GA-J3455N-D3H. Had more luck installing amd64. However I don’t need X on that system and didn’t install it. Screen works well though. Its dmesg still shows the same errors as yours.
Have an old GA-J1900 board that blanks out during boot and can only be accessed over ssh. This one was working properly until at least openbsd i386/6.0. Again, I don’t use X so cannot confirm if it runs. regards > On 14 Jan 2018, at 18:53, Nils Reuße <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi there, > > i got a new board (ASRock J3455-ITX) that's based intels apollo lake SoC. > I've updated the bios to the latest version (1.4) and all things i need are > supported by openbsd out of the box on 6.2-current, except for the graphic > chip, an integrated Intel HD Graphics 500 chip. > > Unfortunately, when i boot the system, the screen goes black very soon (after > the cpu info scrolls by) and then it never fully boots (login via ssh is not > possible), so i cannot see or check what's wrong. > > If i disable inteldrm on boot, the system boots, ssh works and i can use the > system.
