The problem which was present in this Laptop since OpenBSD 3.5 has now been solved with this help: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq8.html#PCI. But /I think/ I need to hack the kernel after installing OBSD to avoid writing "disable pcibios" everytime in the UKC mode. Please look at the dmesg (following) and leave your valuable comments if you want. dmesg ----------- OpenBSD 3.7 (RAMDISK_CD) #573: Sun Mar 20 00:27:05 MST 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/RAMDISK_CD cpu0: Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 3.20 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF,CNXT-ID real mem = 468688896 (457704K) avail mem = 421691392 (411808K) using 4278 buffers containing 23535616 bytes (22984K) of memory User Kernel Config UKC> disable pcibios 166 pcibios0 disabled UKC> exit Continuing... mainbus0 (root) bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+(86) BIOS, date 01/16/04, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfd700 pcibios at bios0 function 0x1a not configured bios0: ROM list: 0xc0000/0xf000 0xd0000/0x6000! 0xd6000/0x800! 0xd8000/0x1000 cpu0 at mainbus0 pci0 at mainbus0 bus 0: configuration mode 1 (no bios) pchb0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 vendor "ATI", unknown product 0x5831 rev 0x02 ppb0 at pci0 dev 1 function 0 "ATI Radeon IGP 9100 AGP" rev 0x00 pci1 at ppb0 bus 1 vga1 at pci1 dev 5 function 0 "ATI Radeon Mobility IGP 9100" rev 0x00 wsdisplay0 at vga1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation) ohci0 at pci0 dev 19 function 0 vendor "ATI", unknown product 0x4347 rev 0x01: irq 11, version 1.0, legacy support ohci0: SMM does not respond, resetting usb0 at ohci0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0 at usb0 uhub0: ATI OHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub0: 3 ports with 3 removable, self powered ohci1 at pci0 dev 19 function 1 vendor "ATI", unknown product 0x4348 rev 0x01: irq 11, version 1.0, legacy support usb1 at ohci1: USB revision 1.0 uhub1 at usb1 uhub1: ATI OHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub1: 3 ports with 3 removable, self powered ehci0 at pci0 dev 19 function 2 vendor "ATI", unknown product 0x4345 rev 0x01: irq 11 ehci0: EHCI version 1.0 ehci0: companion controllers, 3 ports each: ohci0 ohci1 usb2 at ehci0: USB revision 2.0 uhub2 at usb2 uhub2: ATI EHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub2: single transaction translator uhub2: 6 ports with 6 removable, self powered vendor "ATI", unknown product 0x4353 (class serial bus subclass SMBus, rev 0x17) at pci0 dev 20 function 0 not configured pciide0 at pci0 dev 20 function 1 vendor "ATI", unknown product 0x4349 rev 0x00: DMA (unsupported), channel 0 configured to compatibility, channel 1 configured to compatibility wd0 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: <HITACHI_DK23FA-60> wd0: 16-sector PIO, LBA, 57231MB, 117210240 sectors atapiscsi0 at pciide0 channel 1 drive 0 scsibus0 at atapiscsi0: 2 targets cd0 at scsibus0 targ 0 lun 0: <TOSHIBA, DVD-ROM SD-R6112, 1031> SCSI0 5/cdrom removable pcib0 at pci0 dev 20 function 3 vendor "ATI", unknown product 0x434c rev 0x00 ppb1 at pci0 dev 20 function 4 vendor "ATI", unknown product 0x4342 rev 0x00 pci2 at ppb1 bus 2 "Texas Instruments TSB43AB21 FireWire" rev 0x00 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 not configured ath0 at pci2 dev 2 function 0 "Atheros AR5212" rev 0x01: irq 11 ath0: mac 80.6 phy 4.1 radio 1.7 2.3, 802.11a/b/g, WOR4W, address 00:90:96:72:4d:f1 rl0 at pci2 dev 3 function 0 "Realtek 8139" rev 0x10: irq 11 address 00:02:3f:d3:3a:7b rlphy0 at rl0 phy 0: RTL internal phy cbb0 at pci2 dev 4 function 0 "ENE CB-1410 CardBus" rev 0x01pci_intr_map: no mapping for pin A : couldn't map interrupt vendor "ATI", unknown product 0x4341 (class multimedia subclass audio, rev 0x00) at pci0 dev 20 function 5 not configured vendor "ATI", unknown product 0x434d (class communications subclass modem, rev 0x01) at pci0 dev 20 function 6 not configured isa0 at pcib0 isadma0 at isa0 pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60/5 pckbd0 at pckbc0 (kbd slot) pckbc0: using irq 1 for kbd slot wskbd0 at pckbd0 (mux 1 ignored for console): console keyboard, using wsdisplay0 npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0/16: using exception 16 pccom1 at isa0 port 0x2f8/8 irq 3: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo biomask fff5 netmask fff5 ttymask fff7 rd0: fixed, 3800 blocks uhidev0 at uhub0 port 3 configuration 1 interface 0 uhidev0: vendor 0x062a product 0x0001, rev 1.10/0.00, addr 2, iclass 3/1 uhid at uhidev0 not configured wd0: no disk label root on rd0a rootdev=0x1100 rrootdev=0x2f00 rawdev=0x2f02
