Hello Vincent, here are some generic tips. Boot with "boot -c", enable verbose mode and boot, then try to disable the last driver you see. Common candidates are also ahc and pciide. It's documented here: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=boot&apropos=0&sektion=8&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=boot_config&sektion=8&arch=i386&apropos=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current Also try to get a complete dmesg, it might help a lot: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#getdmesg Tobias
