Re: 4.2 i386 install fails on a HP Compaq dc7700
Greetings, Replaced the suspected CDR/DVD drive with another (known good working condition) Panasonic DVD (SATA) drive, the same result, install fails at the point of accessing the CD to install the software sets, so I swapped back the original (TSSTcorp) CDR/DVD drive. Below is the the full dmesg - after a successful ftp install: Last login: Fri Dec 14 01:47:54 2007 OpenBSD 4.2 (GENERIC) #375: Tue Aug 28 10:38:44 MDT 2007 Welcome to OpenBSD: The proactively secure Unix-like operating system.

I always buy the official release as I need the sparc64 and amd64 CDs, but I never use the original CDs for install. I used this CD to install OpenBSD without any drama on my laptop (ThinkPad T60).

This is a brad new, unused machine, I pulled out from the box, modified some of the dummy BIOS settings, plugged in the second NIC, wiped out Windblon and I tried to install OpenBSD 4.2 ioan

Re: 4.2 i386 install fails on a HP Compaq dc7700
I've never seen a CD/DVD drive that uses UDMA 5, Pretty fast... but I've also never seen/used SATA extensively.. One option might be to downgrade the drive to UDMA 2 perhaps? see if that helps any?.. -Nix Fan.
