It it likely that ACPI is the culprit. There is a simple test, which is to disable ACPI. Here are the steps: 1. At the boot> prompt, type "-c" and press return. The kernel will load, and the first few lines of kernel output will appear, then you will be given a prompt for the User Kernel Configurator, UKC>. 2. At the first UKC> prompt, type "disable acpi" and press return 3. At the second UKC> prompt, type "quit" and press return. The kernel will continue processing, and if this was the problem, the boot will then complete processing without failure. You may make this permanent with the config(8) command, if it works. See boot_config(8) for additional information. _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
