Sorry, I have never used OpenBSD before and am more used to forums than mailing lists. By liveusb, I meant installer. Trying to use curl -v --list-only and wget --no-remove-listing ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/ doesn't provide a directory listing. The version I was using was install77.img. Can I put the images on catbox.moe? On the new install78.img I get an error message "installboot: EFIIOC_VAR_SET: Boot0002: Invalid argument", as I also did during installation using the 7.7 USB installer image. Where do I ask for help? It is now freezing at scsibus2 at softradi0: 256 targets, also as it previously did before. That was solved with "boot -c" and "disable inteldrm". However, I am still getting an error:
savecore: no core dump checking quotas: done. clearing /tmp kern.securelevel: 0 -> 1 creating runtime link editor directory cache. preserving editor files. starting network daemons: sshd smtpd sniod. running rc.firsttime fw_update:### AML PARSE ERROR (0x6e0): Undefined name: \_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.H_EC.ECAV error evaluating: \_TZ_.FN00._OFF acpitz0: _AL0[0.0] _OFF fails panic: Data modified on freelist: word 4 of object 0xffff800000773300 size 0x50 previous type AHCI (0xdeaf4151 != 0xdeaf4152) The dmesg is continued in the files linked below. I will now limit myself to plain text mode messages as I was not aware that these messages are mass emails, so thank you for informing me. Is there a format other than mass emails for me to ask for help? I'll reduce the size of the images using FFmpeg and compress them into a 7-Zip archive. It will only show the new images as obtained from the OpenBSD 7.8 development snapshot, which appears to be the same as the previously discussed kernel panic, obsoleting the old images. This may be an installation problem and not a bug. intel CORE i5 10TH GEN.
