Hello everyone! Greetings to misc people!
Got a brand new dedicated server with a hardware: Intel Xeon-E 2274G -
64GB DDR4 ECC 2666MHz - 2x SSD NVMe 960GB
and installed "brand new" OpenBSD 6.6 on it. (I'm managing it remotely
via KVM/IPMI)
After the first boot, dmesg is outputting sequentally between few
seconds delays:
"wsdisplay0 at inteldrm0 mux 1
init: can't open /dev/console: Device not configured" and the system
doesn't boot at all.
Please refer to the screenshot attached: https://ibb.co/sQbt7F7
And after few hours of forums/IRC-logs readings, I tried to try the
suggestion of lots of similar-people: "disable inteldrm"
To do that, during the boot I typed "boot -c", then got a brand new
error (IPMI/KVM freezes, no more keyboard input):
"kbc: cmd word write error" (with a weird cursor)
Please refer to the screenshot attached: https://ibb.co/QchqhtY
Anyways, wanted to skip that -for now-, rebooted the server again, and
booted into bsd.rd, mounted the / and /usr on the harddisk, chrooted
into there and did;
"config -ef /bsd", then "disable inteldrm" and "quit" to save the
changes. Finally rebooted.
The system booted up fine! Got the login prompt shell, logged in, well,
with -an another- brand new error :)
"reorder_kernel: failed - see /usr/...GENERIC.MP/relink.log"
I guess that was because I modified the kernel, anyway, wanted to skip
that too -for now-. Did what I always do the first: syspatch
installed the patches, rebooted the system, aand...Tada! "inteldrm0 is
back, b1tch3z!" :)
Dmesg has again: "init: can't open /dev/console: Device not configured"
and delays there. No boot, again.
My questions are:
How can I get the rid of the error "init: can't open /dev/console:
Device not configured" to be able to boot into the system?
if that was the only way (disabling inteldrm), would I repeat it each
time I issue syspatch?
And each time syspatch (re)installs the kernel, should I get the error
"reorder_kernel: failed", because I modified (disabled inteldrm) kernel?
Any words on "kbc: cmd word write error" when I tried the 'boot -c'?
I thank you for your time in reading all these,
And many thanks for your suggestions, in advance!
Best,
Özgür Kazancci
