With one word: YAY! :-D Mark, your new patch worked perfectly! I even compiled the kernel completely on the "other i386 machine" (an old, slow PII-450) and just transferred it to my Mac mini (via CD), and the mini booted without problems.
Not only the Marvell Yukon NIC but also the second CPU core works now! :-D I already tested that with distributed.net as an application: Automatic processor identification tag: 6547:06E8 features: MMX SSE SSE2 SSE3 Hyper-Threading(2) Estimated processor clock speed (0 if unknown): 1833 MHz Number of processors detected by this client: 2 Number of processors supported by this client: 128 Again: YAY! :-D And btw: Even USB pen drives work now without any problem! :-) Mark, you are simply the best! :-D Thank you so much! If there are even further improvements in the future, please post them here, I'll keep an eye on this thread and mailing list. And I'll be happy to test whatever you want me to on my mini. :-) And of course also my DMESG: OpenBSD 4.0-current (GENERIC.ACPI) #0: Tue Nov 14 01:37:47 CET 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC.ACPI cpu0: Genuine Intel(R) CPU 1400 @ 1.83GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 1.84 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF,SSE3,MWAIT,VMX,EST,TM2 real mem = 2114367488 (2064812K) avail mem = 1920393216 (1875384K) using 4256 buffers containing 105840640 bytes (103360K) of memory mainbus0 (root) bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+(00) BIOS, date 07/29/05, SMBIOS rev. 2.4 @ 0xe73f0 (39 entries) bios0: Apple Computer, Inc.
