Hi, I bought one of these and tried to install openbsd on it. My first try was with 4.3 bsd booting over PXE. As the ethernet wasn't recognized by the kernel I installed using a usb thumb drive because I hadn't found how to boot from a usb device at this moment. Although the kernel claimed to recognize the atheros wireless card, I couldn't use it (ath%d: ath_chan_set: unable to reset channel %u (%u Mhz)). Now I'm trying to boot bsd from a snapshot (as of yesterday 21:00 GMT+2) but the kernel hang on the sata driver apparently
pciide0 at pci0 dev 31 function 2 "Intel 82801FBM SATA" rev 0x04: DMA, channel 0 wired to compatibility, channel 1 wired to compatibility). Surprisingly, I tried and successfully booted bsd.mp a few times, but it sometimes hang a little further on npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0/16: reported by CPUID; using exception 16. And sometimes it inverts the SDCard slot and the usb disk so it's kinda difficult to get a properly running box yet to test. I tried with bsd.rd and was able to install a working system and again, booting bsd ain't working and bsd.mp often hangs on npx0 and sometimes(rarely) boots successfully. Here's a dmesg: OpenBSD 4.3-current (GENERIC.MP) #776: Sun Jun 29 11:34:39 MDT 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC.MP cpu0: Intel(R) Celeron(R) M processor 900MHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 901 MHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,TM,SBF real mem = 1064398848 (1015MB) avail mem = 1020956672 (973MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 05/12/08, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xf0010, SMBIOS rev. 2.5 @ 0xf06f0 (37 entries) bios0: vendor American Megatrends Inc. version "0501" date 05/12/2008 bios0: ASUSTeK Computer INC. 900 apm0 at bios0: Power Management spec V1.2 apm0: AC on, battery charge unknown acpi at bios0 function 0x0 not configured pcibios0 at bios0: rev 3.0 @ 0xf0000/0x10000 pcibios0: PCI IRQ Routing Table rev 1.0 @ 0xf7410/176 (9 entries) pcibios0: PCI Interrupt Router at 000:31:0 ("Intel 82801FB LPC" rev 0x00) pcibios0: PCI bus #5 is the last bus bios0: ROM list: 0xc0000/0xf800!
