Today I was trying to install OpenBSD/amd64 4.1 GENERIC on a system with
the following motherboard:
http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=1418&l1=3&l2=101&l3=324&l4=0

But during installation I got the following blue lines (which I've noted
on a piece of paper by hand):

uvm_fault (0xfffffe80 0a2de810, 0x7f8000267000, 0, 1) -> e
fatal page fault in supervisor mode
trap type 6 code 0 rip ffffffff802540a7 cs 8 vflags 10216 cr2
7f8000267fb0 cpl1 0 rsp ffff800067015c80
syncing discs ...done

At which time system halts, or becomes unresponsive. (Actually, this
error occurs during my custom install script, in site41.tgz, after usual
OpenBSD installation finishes.)

I was suspicious about pciide, but VIA 8237A is in the supported
hardware list.

So I've installed OpenBSD on the same HD, but now on another hardware,
then inserted the HD back into this system again, but after a couple of
services start, I got another uvm_fault error (it's similar but not the
same, if I recall correctly), and the system hangs.

Some of the other parts are: Athlon64 4200+ X2, Kingston 1GB RAM, WD
250GB SATA2 HD.

I've disabled many options in the bios, but nothing changed. If I cannot
find a solution, the board will be returned.

Does anybody else use this motherboard too? Do you have any problems? If
you had a similar issue, how did you fix it, any special bios settings?
What could be the source of the uvm_fault error: motherboard, RAM, or
even the processor itself?

Otherwise I have installed OpenBSD with my custom script on other amd64
hardware without major problems.

I would appreciate any help.
