Hello misc@, Just dropping this here for a signal boost. Any pointers as to how I can either proceed or simply offer more information to help debug this i386 panic on boot?

The "stock" setup worked fine with 7.8-i386. I installed OpenBSD on this before. Meanwhile I decided to do some modern upgrades -- it got a new SSD, and a new, OpenBSD-compatible Atheros-chipset WiFi card. This meant having to install an edited BIOS version (based on F.16) so as to remove the PCIe whitelist. NetBSD 10.1 boots and runs fine on it, so does Windows XP if I need to do it for testing. WiFi works, SSD works great. So I decided I would try to re-install OpenBSD, but the 7.8 installer does not seem to boot. I am booting the 7.8-stable release from USB, and it dies very early on. I get to the boot prompt, start "boot", and get the following: ``` [...snip...] random: good seed from bootblocks mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: date 04/30/10, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xf0010, SMBIOS rev 2.4 @ 0xfc520 (17 entries) bios0: vendor Hewlett-Packard version "361A0 Ver.
