Intel Atom and D945GCLF2

[Steve B-2]

Is anyone running OpenBSD on one of these boards? The supported platform
page does not list either the chipset or the CPU so I'm guesing it is not
supported at this time.

Not yet, but will be by the end of today. I will post a DMESG later.

The Intel motherboard support page lists the Atom for Vista and WinXP only.
While other boards are or not listed to be compatible with other OSes.

I actually have two such boards, two different assemblies:
AA E270402-304 and ...-305.
The ...-305 installed 4.4/amd64 and ran it for a while (couple of days)
till it hung.
On both systems, booting bsd.rd and installing 4.4/i386 seemed OK until
reboot.
Old BIOS message: no valid system.
When using GRUB or GAG, systems boot until the mtrr message,
before detecting the mouse.

Sorry, no dmesg but tons of \M^?

I only got ArchLinux64 and WinXP working.
Not spending too much time on this as neither Intel, nor OpenBSD amd64
qualifies this system.

I have been running OpenBSD 4.3 for several weeks on an Atom D945GCLF
and didn't encounter any problems.
The dmesg shows a few messages that indicate that not everything is
fully supported yet but the board still runs fine.

The situation is really really really simple.

If it is a PC, we run on it.
