- Applied patch amdmsr.patch to openbsd kernel (/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/i386/amdmsr.c)
Explaination: the original code checks for GPU presence (alix has no GPU) and fails; I just skip the check.
interesting. does upstream know about this?
I've sent a message on tech@openbsd.org ml; but I've an update for this problem. I've managed to flash coreboot on the ALIX board (had to use crossgcc to successfully compile) and magically now the probe works! So I suppose the original tinyBIOS did something wrong (for example disable something GP-related knowing the board doesn't have any display interface)
Attached the dmesg using the original tinyBIOS and the diff using coreboot.

i'll post new patches in a minute (one corrected msr patch and an independent hwaccess.c patch that should fix netbsd hopefully and makes the defines more usable and sane and should be tested on openbsd too). i'd be very glad if you could test them on top of current HEAD again.
Sure, as soon as I can I will checkout the last trunk and test again.
Note: There is also a warning about a second CS5536 chipset being found.
Thank You.
Leonardo.
