Hello, I hope that this is the right mailing list to send this query
to.
First some background. It is possible to run 9front on OpenBSD using
vmm, this is well documented and I have gotten it working before on a
ThinkPad X220.
Where I run into trouble is trying to install it on a T14 AMD, which
uses an AMD processor. Essentially when you begin to run the live cd,
the 9front kernel loads, and then immediately vmd restarts the virtual
machine, presumably because it crashed somewhere in the boot process.
Now to the question, how would I go about debugging this? I know that
this install works on Intel, this is on OpenBSD -current.
The 9front IRC told me that it was a vmm issue, as there are different
implementations on AMD and Intel, is this true?
If so, what debugging should I run to help the OpenBSD developers fix
this issue?
Described here https://www.openbsd.org/report.html
dmesg(8) is a good start and you may play with
https://man.openbsd.org/boot_config
If it's a 9front issue, is there any way for me to be able to take some
kind of memory dump so that the 9front developers can handle this?
Hopefully this wasn't too off topic, I have read the relevant manual
pages for vmm, but I couldn't work out what debugger to use, I'm not
here to get others to debug it for me, only to work out where to start.
Thank you
