Using an ASUS K8S-MX a mistake?

) it looks like I've managed to get an unworkable motherboard. Anyone have any recommendations for solutions? Replacement motherboards? Will OpenBSD 3.8 support this motherboard? Joe Szedula Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Using an ASUS K8S-MX a mistake? - update

I've installed the amd64 -current (13 August) on my ASUS K8S-MX system. It solved the "bus-master DMA error" problem as well as the problem with the drives (CD & hard disk) on the secondary IDE not being recognized. I compiled the kernel and the rest of the system from source just to exercise t

ASUS K8S-MX + SATA = problem

Just tried adding a SATA drive to my ASUS K8S-MX system using -current (as of August 13th) and got the following message (repeated twice before the system hung up) during the boot: wd2(pciide1:0:0): timeout type: ata c_bcount: 512 c_skip: 0 This is similar to the problem I had whe

The seller was kind enough to list the chipset in the product description. Joe Szedula Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

cpio/gzip problem or are my tapes too old?

I use a command like: cpio -o -z -v -F /dev/rst0 < in.lst > out.lst to perform a backup. But when I attempt to index the tape contents using: cpio -i -t -v -z -F /dev/rst0 I get: gzip: /dev/stdin: unrecognized file format cpio: End of archive volume 1 reached Oct 7 11:50:48 sys /bsd: st0: 10-

Re: cpio/gzip problem or are my tapes too old?

;you have to pipe it thru dd. >tapes work in blocks. gzip is not exactly like that I don't understand. How do I do that with cpio? cpio doesn't use stdin or stdout (except for lists of files and messages) does it? Doesn't "-z" on the cpio command line mean Compress/Uncompress archive using gzip(1) format. Joe Szedula Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
