Hi Alexander, I was more than happy to dump the whole dmesg, but I just didn't want to put too much into my first message.
Please find the full dmesg below: OpenBSD 4.4 (GENERIC) #1021: Tue Aug 12 17:16:55 MDT 2008 dera...@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7200 @ 2.53GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 2.54 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF,SSE3,MWAIT,DS-CPL,EST,TM2,CX16,xTPR cpu0: unknown i686 EBL_CR_POWERON value 3 (0x424c0000) real mem = 2010673152 (1917MB) avail mem = 1935548416 (1845MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 09/02/08, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xf1df0, SMBIOS rev. 2.5 @ 0xf0000 (50 entries) bios0: vendor Phoenix Technologies, LTD version "ASUS P5N-EM HDMI ACPI BIOS Revision 0401" date 09/02/2008 bios0: ASUSTeK Computer INC.
