unds like I need to do some more "small RAM" testing again. I am actually somewhat surprised (but not shocked) that 32M is not enough for three NICs, but things have grown since the 3.6 days. It's getting hard to get down to the 16M-32M range anymore on systems that aren't painful to ssh into. :) Nick.

have also tried enabling ACPI at boot time with ( -c, UKC> enable acpi, quit ) which produces same result. In addition I have tried booting with the i386 release media, and experienced exactly the same problem. Dmesg's captured through tty com0 attached below. Many thanks in advance

ference is only in the documentation. The following two constructs behave the same in /bin/sh and /bin/ksh : [[ foobar = f*r ]] && echo YES || echo NO [ foobar = f*r ] && echo YES || echo NO At least, they do when I just tried : That's because in OpenBSD they are the same binary.. -Nick

DON'T work. :) I'd aim at maybe making that IRQ14 an ISA IRQ. Don't quote me on this, I'm not as up on PCI interrupt handling as I should be, but seeing something sitting on IRQ14 was really bad back in the ISA days. :) STEP 3: Try poking pcibios(4) with ukc> (see FAQ 5). Try disabling it first, then giving it various flags (I'd tell you which to try, 'cept it usually isn't the one I'd have guessed, so I'm just gonna say, try 'em all, 0x1, 0x2, 0x4, 0x8 ..) Nick.

erly. 5) Those SiI chips suck, or at least their ROMS suck. I've solved a lot of problems by literally prying the ROM off the board on some of those things. I don't think that's your problem, I'm just venting here :) (and since you are trying to boot from these devices, DON'T RIP THE ROM off the board. You need it. :) 6) There may be quirks in OpenBSD. You may be the person who has attached the slowest "disk drive" to a SATA controller and attempted to install and run OpenBSD on it. Or it may be fixed already. I'd suggest trying -current to resolve problems like this. Nick.
