Hey all, I have previously been able to run OpenBSD 4.2-current on my Macbook Pro. It's been a while since I did so, but I wanted to go ahead and reinstall my machine with 4.3. The biggest change that I expected to affect me was the automatic enabling of ACPI for the kernel. I thought this would be a good thing. As it turns out, something must have changed since I last used OpenBSD to make things troublesome.
Usually, what I used to do was build my own custom boot only image and change the bsd.rd kernel to have acpi enabled. However, this didn't seem necessary for 4.3, and I went ahead and tried to boot. However, it hangs near the end of the kernel messages with an rd0 line. I thought that I heard about someone having trouble with 4.3 hanging on a Macbook so I tried searching for a solution, but I couldn't find anything specific. The only things that seem to relate to the stable release after May 1st are unrelated items. One other thing I noted was that someone tried to boot his Macbook using the bsd.mp kernel, which obviously won't work until the OS is installed. However, I notice that the dmesg seems a bit different for the MP kernel with some acpi information put at the top that I don't see in the rd kernel. I am able to get the mp kernel to boot up to the point where it asks for a root device, but obviously I can't go past that. Anyways, I remembered in a chat that there was possibly a conflict between apm and acpi, so I went ahead, disabled apm, and this didn't work either. Can any of you provide some assistance with this matter? Has anyone had success with the 4.3 release and Core Duo Macbook Pros? I am of course using i386 as the architecture. Am I just missing something obvious? - Aaron Hsu
