I have just purchased the OpenBSD 3.1 CD and am attempting to install it onto a Dell PowerEdge 1650. The Dell has 2 x Embedded Intel PRO 1000XT (82544EI) NIC's. However, the system hangs whem booting from the CD at the same point every time with the following output:
There is also an Intel PRO 100 NIC that it seems to be happy with. When I disable the 2 Intel PRO 1000XT's the system boots fine and allows configuration of the single PRO 100. If I disable just one of the 1000TX'x, the same error message as above appears, just with "pci1".
I hope this is enough information and that somebody out there has a solution to this problem.
i had the same problem. it's been fixed in current so installing a snapshot should fix tour problem. it was a problem with pchb.
the original thread was # and the file needed to be fixed is: #
there have been other changes made in current that will help other hardware in that box, so i reccomend you install current.
-f #
p.s. - a full dmesg (even with gx devices disabled) would have been necessary to diagnose the problem. i'm assuming the problem is the same as mine given your hardware description, but a full dmesg would have verified you had pchb giving errors as well.
