3.6.
In other words: It should be possible to run OpenBSD-current (aka 3.7

with a Tyan i7320 mainboard which also uses the 6300ESB running on
current without any problems so far.

Excellent and perfect answer. THANX!

The new 3.7 (snapshot) is working on my ICH6 SATA (even AHCI mode) at last
- previously 'no disks found' |

I don't see any info about sata controller. I will use the motherboard
controller of this server, not the " aid CERC Card 6 Channels SATA "
Any ideas?

Yes, that is possible. If you take a look at
http://openbsd.org/i386.html (or the platform page for your hardware if
it is not i386) you'll see quite some supported controllers.
It is not possible to use SATA RAID functions with most of the
controllers, though.

Because most "Hardware RAID" SATA controllers actually do the RAID magic
on the CPU while making the chipset completely unuseable to the more
generic drivers.

Depends upon the controller, for example:
pciide0 at pci2 dev 5 function 0 "CMD Technology SiI3114 SATA" rev 0x02: DMA
pciide0: using apic 2 int 19 (irq 9) for native-PCI interrupt
pciide0: port 0: device present, speed: 1.5Gb/s
wd1 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: <ST380013AS>
wd1(pciide0:0:0): using BIOS timings, Ultra-DMA mode 6
is a SATA controller/drive combo on my amd64 that I've been using for
quite a while.

OpenBSD with SATA
|
|

Hi again:
I little question. Is posible install OBSD36+ in one single SATA Hard
Disk? I need install in a server with sata controller only. (No SCSI and no
ATA)
Anyone have experience with SATA?
Thanx
