I've seen this before. On old HP gear. Is your HP? Only FreeBSD would
run on the system. NetBSD/OpenBSD dead in the water. Some obscure bug
when the I/O went up (Symbios SCSI).
One of many reason why I want nothing to do with HP (H-PHUX) ever again.
Anyway, how about underclocking your Duron some? Reset the BIOS timings
and power levels to failsafe? The old K7+VIA Chipset boards were a rough
crowd.

openbsd gurus,
As my saga continues...
I have a newly built server on which I am attempting to install
openbsd 4.0. Problems occurred on install of sets, where comp
set keeps throwing errors. Suggestion was made that it was probably
a bad CD. Try a previous CD of an earlier version. I had 3.9
available. The logs of the attempts are posted at:
http://www.surfutopia.net/openbsd/
The logs are separated by the boot log, an install log not
including the install of the sets, and two passes of the install
of the sets, all dying in the comp set install.
I have two drives in the server. I only installed on one (wd0).
I have had the same types of errors when only installing on the
second (wd1). So, it is most likely not a problem with the
specific drive. However, the probability could exist.
So, based on these logs, from different openbsd cd versions,
my hypothesis is there is some weird sort of hardware problem.
My question is, what tools do you all use to determine where
the hardware problem could be?
I have already ran the memory through the memtests. There is
not a problem there.
I am willing to try (almost) anything to play around with
this. I would like to get the server up and running so I
can move on to the next one. No time pressure, though.
Thank you in advance for any pointers you can provide.
Thanks!
