Has anyone had any experience with these types of boxes and if so had any luck getting openBSD to run stably on them ?" I played with some Compaq hardware some years ago with OpenBSD (had to make an adjustment or two), but not this type. What's the trick with some of these models?

Well a description of what is happening is sometimes as good as a dmesg; "not stable" doesn't say a lot...

Right before the 3.3 release, Mickey committed a fix to the cac driver which should fix the stability issues reported with it in the past. I am using it with one of the lower end Compaq controllers. It works really well.
So, based on this bug report, I would have no experience to correlate the problem with. You do absolutely nothing to help anyone figure out what's going on either. No dmesg, no explanation of what makes it unstable or what happens. How do you expect anyone to help you ?
