Hi Rondan, i have the same machine and also the same problems with wd0 timeouts. Pops up randomly, somethimes under heavy load, sometimes while doing basically nothing (like in your case). Haven't gotten any further on this, as i can't find any deeds about it. I also can't use more than 1,6G of RAM

Yeah i know about it running in 32bit-mode, but even then it should be able to use more than 1,6G right? I have an iBook G4 that has a max RAM of 1,5G on hardware-basis which makes sense and all, but on a G5?! Also, did you see his dmesg? :) [...] hw.product=PowerMac11,2 hw.physmem=2684354560 hw.

Hello ! > I also can't use more than 1,6G of RAM, although there's more in the machine. That is normal (I have here 2 DP G5s) because OpenBSD runs only in 32 bit mode (even the G5 is a 64 bit CPU). See https://www.openbsd.org/macppc.html section History. The max RAM in the G4 (G3 less) was 2 GB s
