Hi I cannot get an Alix.1D board (http://www.pcengines.ch/alix1d.htm) rebooting cleanly with OpenBSD 4.6 and -current. After installing and booting into OpenBSD on a 4GB CF Card (Sandisk Extreme III), I can issue the command "reboot", and the operating system restarts, I can see the BIOS messages up to the point where the BIOS displays:
"Detecting IDE Drives..." After hanging here 60 seconds, it goes further and displays the name of the CF card as Primary master, and hangs a little while again. After this, it tries to boot the network card as if the CF card was not bootable. If I turn the power off and on again, I can boot off the CF card without problem. I have tried several things, that did not change anything to the problem: - install two more recent Alix BIOSes from 8/27/08 and the latest Beta - install OpenBSD -current instead of 4.6 - use another CF card (same manufacturer, but speed only half) It has been suggested on the Alix forum that the method used by OpenBSD to reboot the board (whatever it is) might cause the problem, and that known working ways of rebooting the board could be found at that location: http://www.pcengines.ch/file/alixllc.zip It seems to me that the OpenBSD reboot code involved is in /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/i386/machdep.c in the function cpu_reset(). Unfortunately I am not knowledgeable enough to fully understand what OpenBSD exactly does here to reboot the board, and even less to compare it to the examples given by the manufacturer. Any suggestions? Thank you!
