dmesg is under the story, of course. I have been following 5.0 current through 5.1 beta updating from CVS and building through to release and a CD so that I can track stuff.
When my smooth red new Thinkpad arrived I decided to use it to try out my latest 5.1beta CD. So I shoved win7 aside and left a big chunk of space for the A6 beauty. I even got game and allowed it to boot into X. Big mistake. As soon as I tried to switch to a Vconsole it seemed like the whole thing siezed up. That is really true as we will see later. Next I booted from the CD and used the install shell to comment out the rc.conf.local xdm line on the mounted sd0a/etc. Rebooting let me log in to a console session and I fired up sshd so that another box could log in running top so that I could tell if the thing was truly locked-up. Running startx presented me with the default wndow and I could do stuff there but attempting to go to another console session made it look to be frozen but the remote box running top over ssh proved that it was not. I found out that if I did Ctl-Alt-F5 on the "dead" X window, it brought X back to life Having done as well as I could in choosing a Tpad with mostly OpenBSD friendly bits, I don't like the idea of just running a bunch of "glass teleprinters". Any other tests I can do to get more clues for the clueful? Oh, the dmesg shows the usb stick I copied to to get it here. Not a part of the kit. dmesg: (I'm sending a copy to the openbsd collection and I'll send one to the publically available collection if somebody reminds me of where it can be found. I did send one for my previous laptop but that was in'09) ====== OpenBSD 5.1-beta (GENERIC.MP) #5: Tue Feb 7 08:26:54 EST 2012 r...@nero.witworx.com:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC.MP cpu0: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2450M CPU @ 2.50GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 2.50 GHz cpu0 FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36, CFL USH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF,NXE,LONG,SSE3,PCLMUL,MWAIT,D S- CPL,VMX,EST,TM2,SSSE3,CX16,xTPR,PDCM,SSE4.1,SSE4.2,x2APIC,POPCNT,AES,XSA VE, AVX,LAHF real mem = 3133054976 (2987MB) avail mem = 3071692800 (2929MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 11/30/11, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfc000, SMBIOS rev. 2.6 @ 0xe0830 (71 entries) bios0: vendor LENOVO version "8NET32WW (1.16 )" date 12/01/2011 bios0: LENOVO 1298CTO acpi0 at bios0: rev 4 acpi0: sleep states S0 S3 S4 S5 acpi0: tables DSDT FACP ASF!
