Hello all,

I have an older i386 pc that I've been using as my home firewall for some years now. It currently runs 3.3 and I was hoping to do an upgrade, so I did go ahead and buy the full CD set (impressive packaging, btw) after having trouble with boot floppies (marginal drive) and the boot CD ISO.

However, the kernel panics every time I try and boot the 3.8 CD. I've also tried 3.7, 3.6 and 3.5 boot CDs that I downloaded from the OpenBSD ftp server. Hardware seems fine; I ran memtest86+ for a day and it did about 30 passes with no errors, I tried different CD-ROM drives, different IDE cables, removed all network cards, etc., but still it panics in the same place (right after "rd0: fixed, 3800 blocks"). CPU is an AMD K6-2-500 clocked down to 300 - temperature is fine (about 110F), mainboard is an old Epox.

On the suggestion of a bsdforums.org user, I tried downloading bsd.rd and booting that from the 3.3 install, and that failed. I'm guessing it has something to do with the exec format changing; perhaps the old loader doesn't understand the new kernel exec format?

rebooting...

I have this thing hooked up via serial now, so if someone can point me in the right direction (how to get a dump when booting from CD, how to look at that dump, etc.), I will gladly do so. I have also included the 3.3 dmesg below.

Thanks,

Charles
