Hi misc,
I'm trying to setup a new openbsd 3.9 install on i386. It worked before on
that computer when I installed quickly to test for compatibility, but I
needed to finish up some hardware stuff on it and then I wanted to install
for real but it does not work anymore.
It hangs at the disk: line
"Loading /3.9/I386/CDBOOT
probing: pc0 com0 apm mem[639K 382M a20=on]
disk:"
and then it stays there forever.
The computer has two storage controllers. One is an ami-compatible raid
controller. The other is the pciide-compatible sata sil3114 chip. Both
appear to be working.
If I unplug the scsi drives from the controller and leave the controller in,
it will work.
Also if I unplug the sata drives and leave the controller in, it will work.
However all appears to be working quite well as I can install win2000 on it
and all drives work well. Also as I've said openbsd 3.9 worked on it just a
few days ago, but I can't find what I've changed. I thought it might be a
bios settings problem so I played with the settings, but nothing seemed to
help.
Overall I think this makes no sense, what are some of the problems that
might be happening?
