Hi Bill,
If you really want this to be fix, the best way would be to help
yourself by trying different vcs updates in between 4.7 and 4.8 and if
you find the exact change that start to create your problem and send it
to the list, I am sure someone will look into it for you.
Well, let say you have a much bigger chance to get it fix if you help
tracing the problem.
You can download the 4.7, then do date cvs updates and compile and see
the results.
As the crash you describe is only with the kernel, compiling a new
kernel and boot and see is frailly fast and it would be a great help to
who ever did the change that introduce the bug you refer at.
It would require some time form you to do this, but again, why would
anyone spend their time to help you if you don't sent time to them them
right?
Doing a CVS update in time is a lots easier then you may think and it
would be a huge help of you can say, this patch introduce this bug and
from then, I am pretty sure someone will address the problem.
That's my experience anyway, help yourself and you will see someone will
help you.
Start 1/2 way into the 4.8 release and then go 1/2 way from there either
up or down depending if it is working or not for you.
Hope this help you some anyway.
Best,
Daniel

Hi,
Back in June of 2011, I reported problems with the Supermicro P8SCI and P8SCT
motherboards failing to boot OpenBSD 4.8 and 4.9, due to a kernel page fault
trap at interdrm_attach. Just for fun, I tried OpenBSD 5.0 tonight, and the
same problem still happens.
Has anyone found a workaround for this, or are there any plans to fix it? I
have several of these motherboards running in firewalls, and unless I can find
a fix, these boxes are trapped at OpenBSD 4.7 until I can replace them all.
If anyone needs a box to test on, it looks like I'll have quite a few spares :-)
Thanks,
