I recently installed a 6.2-beta snapshot from mid-September on a VIA
Epia M, and then upgraded to 6.2-RELEASE without any issue during the
installation. There is a dmesg of this system included in [1]; it
looks like you may have the same motherboard, or at least the BIOS
identifies itself the same?
However my BIOS is slightly newer (I think the last update VIA
released was in 2009, despite the 2004 BIOS date!), so you may try
updating yours; also, I have a C3 Ezra vs. your Nehemiah (this might
be the important part).
Yours:
cpu0: VIA Nehemiah ("CentaurHauls" 686-class) 1.01 GHz
cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,SEP,MTRR,PGE,CMOV,PAT,MMX,FXSR,SSE
bios0 at mainbus0: date 03/11/04, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xface0, SMBIOS rev.
2.2 @ 0xf0800 (26 entries)
bios0: vendor Award Software International, Inc. version "6.00 PG"
date 03/11/2004
bios0: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8623-8235
Mine:
cpu0: VIA C3 Ezra ("CentaurHauls" 686-class) 1 GHz
cpu0: FPU,DE,TSC,MSR,MTRR,PGE,MMX,3DNOW
bios0 at mainbus0: date 05/19/04, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfb210, SMBIOS rev.
2.2 @ 0xf0800 (26 entries)
bios0: vendor Award Software International, Inc. version "6.00 PG"
date 05/19/2004
bios0: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8623-8235
If you build ramdisks to bisect the problem, adding "option DDB" to
the kernel config (it's in GENERIC, but not RAMDISK{,_CD}) would
probably be useful, so you can get a backtrace instead of an immediate
halt/reboot.
While installation went fine, there are a few outstanding issues with
my system, in decreasing order of importance:
* X immediately crashes on startup (this likely affects all CLE266
users... all 10 of them?). I submitted a fix at [1] but am still
waiting for someone to look at it.
* It reboots rather than powering off.
* Suspend and hibernate do not work.
* Reported temperatures via hw.sensors are about 10-15C lower than reality.
I'll submit a proper bug report for the reboot & suspend stuff once I
do more testing (e.g. acpi disabled, BIOS settings for S1 vs. S3
suspend, etc.).
