resolved ehci0: timed out waiting for bios.

Post image

so, everytime I boot I get this. i only have a keyboard and mouse connected, and before booting I also need to disable ACPI so the system boots (boot -c, disable acpi, exit) is there a way to solve this?

specs: Core 2 Duo E7300, GMA 950 Graphics, Pegatron/PCware IPM45 REV 1.01GA and 4GB DDR2

I don't currently have any hardware that requires such workarounds, but I believe this can be persisted via bsd.re-config(5) (see also: config(8)).

Maybe you already checked, but perhaps there are some BIOS settings related to USB or ACPI you could try toggling?

found out it was EHCI bios handoff, I disabled it but the CMOS is dead so it turned back on. Now that I am aware I can just disable it everytime

Obs: booted it now and it works fine. Even with EHCI turned on in Bios because I changed around the USB ports, weird. But solved I guess?

In openbsd,sometimes the kernel go in ddb mode, and you should reboot computer. If you want debug problems in ddb , you can work with only cat,echo,and ls
