In the prior case, the cause was hardware bus enumeration when ACPI was used. See post #27 in http://daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=2846
How do I tell whether my problem is caused by hardware bus enumeration? I couldn't tell (from the posts in the thread you linked to) how you came to the conclusion that hardware bus enumeration (specifically) was causing a problem in that case. I get the "CardBus support disabled" message during boot, just like JohnHicks was, so if sys/dev/pci/pccbb.c is the only place in the kernel that that message appears, I guess my problem is the same as his.

What could cause bus enumeration to fail, anyway? Is the BIOS in charge of that, or the OS kernel? I have run many other OSes on this laptop without running into ACPI/CardBus conflicts, so I suspect a bug in the OpenBSD kernel rather than the BIOS.

Next time I'm in front of the laptop, I'll post the dmesgs.
