Hi I've problem to install 3.9 on my FS Amilo M3438G with a VIA VT6421 SATA and Intel 82801FB controller.
When the installation starts it says, no disk could be found. In my bios I can only change minimized setting, I can't even see the harddrive listed there, but I can see the cdrom. I opened the lappy and found out that the disk is a Samsung SATA. Another strange thing is that after a while in installation, the system freeze and I've to reboot. Google told me there are some problems with this laptop and playing games in Windows, but that's not my case. I have been able to boot various linux livecds on this laptop without problems. Now I don't know if any support is missing in openbsd or I should add anything while booting openbsd bootloader. I did anyhow write a dmesg from shell which can be found bellow. Any suggestions are welcome. /bkw OpenBSD 3.9 (RAMDISK_CD) #1025: Thu Mar 2 02:43:29 MST 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/RAMDISK_CD cpu0: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.73GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 1.74 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,CFLUSH,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,TM,SBF,EST,TM2 real mem = 1073127424 (1047976K) avail mem = 973643776 (950824K) using 4278 buffers containing 53760000 bytes (52500K) of memory mainbus0 (root) bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+(00) BIOS, date 07/29/05, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xf0010 apm0 at bios0: Power Management spec V1.2 apm0: flags 30102 dobusy 0 doidle 1 pcibios0 at bios0: rev 2.1 @ 0xf0000/0x10000 pcibios0: PCI IRQ Routing Table rev 1.0 @ 0xf4590/288 (16 entries) pcibios0: PCI Interrupt Router at 000:31:0 ("Intel 82801FBM LPC" rev 0x00) pcibios0: PCI bus #3 is the last bus bios0: ROM list: 0xc0000/0xec00! 0xcf000/0x5000! 0xd4000/0x1000 cpu0 at mainbus0 pci0 at mainbus0 bus 0: configuration mode 1 (no bios) pchb0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 "Intel 82915GM/PM/GMS Host" rev 0x04 ppb0 at pci0 dev 1 function 0 "Intel 82915PM/GM PCIE" rev 0x04 pci1 at ppb0 bus 1 vga1 at pci1 dev 0 function 0 "NVIDIA GeForce Go 6800" rev 0xa2 wsdisplay0 at vga1 mux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation) "Intel 82801FB HD Audio" rev 0x04 at pci0 dev 27 function 0 not configured ppb1 at pci0 dev 28 function 0 "Intel 82801FB PCIE" rev 0x04 pci2 at ppb1 bus 2 uhci0 at pci0 dev 29 function 0 "Intel 82801FB USB" rev 0x04: irq 11 usb0 at uhci0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0 at usb0 uhub0: Intel UHCI root hub, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered uhci1 at pci0 dev 29 function 1 "Intel 82801FB USB" rev 0x04: irq 3 usb1 at uhci1: USB revision 1.0 uhub1 at usb1 uhub1: Intel UHCI root hub, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub1: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered uhci2 at pci0 dev 29 function 2 "Intel 82801FB USB" rev 0x04: irq 5 usb2 at uhci2: USB revision 1.0 uhub2 at usb2 uhub2: Intel UHCI root hub, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub2: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered uhci3 at pci0 dev 29 function 3 "Intel 82801FB USB" rev 0x04: irq 10 usb3 at uhci3: USB revision 1.0 uhub3 at usb3 uhub3: Intel UHCI root hub, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub3: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered ehci0 at pci0 dev 29 function 7 "Intel 82801FB USB" rev 0x04: irq 11 usb4 at ehci0: USB revision 2.0 uhub4 at usb4 uhub4: Intel EHCI root hub, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub4: 8 ports with 8 removable, self powered ppb2 at pci0 dev 30 function 0 "Intel 82801BAM Hub-to-PCI" rev 0xd4 pci3 at ppb2 bus 3 "Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG" rev 0x05 at pci3 dev 3 function 0 not configured "Texas Instruments TSB43AB22 FireWire" rev 0x00 at pci3 dev 4 function 0 not configured re0 at pci3 dev 5 function 0 "Realtek 8169" rev 0x10: irq 3, address 00:03:0d:35:1e:6f rgephy0 at re0 phy 7: RTL8169S/8110S PHY, rev. 2 pciide0 at pci3 dev 7 function 0 "VIA VT6421 SATA" rev 0x50: DMA pciide0: using irq 10 for native-PCI interrupt ichpcib0 at pci0 dev 31 function 0 "Intel 82801FBM LPC" rev 0x04: PM disabled pciide1 at pci0 dev 31 function 1 "Intel 82801FB IDE" rev 0x04: DMA, channel 0 configured to compatibility, channel 1 configured to compatibility atapiscsi0 at pciide1 channel 0 drive 0 scsibus0 at atapiscsi0: 2 targets cd0 at scsibus0 targ 0 lun 0: <_NEC, DVD+-RW ND-6650A, 1.42> SCSI0 5/cdrom removable cd0(pciide1:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 2 pciide1: channel 1 disabled (no drives) "Intel 82801FB SMBus" rev 0x04 at pci0 dev 31 function 3 not configured isa0 at ichpcib0 isadma0 at isa0 pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60/5 pckbd0 at pckbc0 (kbd slot) pckbc0: using irq 1 for kbd slot wskbd0 at pckbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0 npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0/16: using exception 16 biomask fffd netmask fffd ttymask ffff rd0: fixed, 3800 blocks uhidev0 at uhub2 port 2 configuration 1 interface 0 uhidev0: Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse, rev 2.00/20.00, addr 2, iclass 3/1 uhid at uhidev0 not configured root on rd0a rootdev=0x1100 rrootdev=0x2f00 rawdev=0x2f02
