Re: Lemote Fuloong
iirc one reason the EINVAL on mount can occur is with an unclean ext2/3 filesystem. Could that be the case here? Yes, but it should only have been the case on the 2nd install (2 of 3). After I copied the boot file from the installation directory to the ext2 partition I had created for booting from, I neglected to unmount the partition since I ASSumed OBSD would unmount all mounted filesystems during a halt. I forgot that iirc OpenBSD only unmounts mounted filesystems that are in fstab. I did remember to unmount it by the time the 3rd installation ran and perhaps that is why it didn't give me that message when I installed the same snapshot again. I don't know why it happened the first two times. Running on snapshot, I built a package for Mutt from ports and it took a very long time. I'd like to know how much of that is due to the slow console. Are you building with output redirection? At the end the package failed to install with the same library errors I listed before. However, make install seems to have worked. I haven't verified Mutt is working 100%, I'll do that later (now I am posting from another system). I'm building Emacs now and when it finishes I'll be able to verify Mutt works as it did on 5.1. Given there aren't too many Fuloongs around and we all have to build packages for the apps we want, is there any way to contribute packages we have built? -- _ ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) Please follow up to the mailing list against HTML e-mail X and proprietary/ \ Mutt.org attachmentsCode Blue or Go Home!

Now that you have moved from 5.1-release to -current, you will also have to change the location where packages are downloaded in order to keep both OS packages synchronized. See FAQ 15.4.1. Thanks, I am aware of it. I changed it to point to the snapshots directory of packages rather than 5.1 as shown in FAQ 15.2.2. The errors were as shown in the previous post.

Are you running -current or 5.1 and since you are using it for a server and it is working fine for you, what would you recommend? This is mostly caused by the relatively slow hardware. Packages take time to build. In almost all cases, the old packges you have installed continue to work fine. Patience is a virtue ;-) Yes but since I installed from the snapshot I have no old packages! This was a clean install on new hardware and now I cannot install any packages at least not any I have tried. Are you running -current or 5.1? Do you happen to know if -current has any advantages over 5.1 for a development machine?

It may mean as now it's Beta phase that packages are not yet build (can be confirmed only by devs) or are in process of build for your platform so the question is if you can wait. If not you can build them on your system. Result will be package anyway. Ok I don't mind trying to build from ports if there are ports for the few apps I want at this point. If that doesn't work I will go back to 5.1. Thanks for the help, guys.

It takes some time to distribute packages to all mirrors and build of packages for all platforms take some time as well. Sounds reasonable but I have tried 4 different mirrors now including ftp.openbsd.org. I am starting to wonder if there is something else wrong and not sure what else to check. Using snapshots is fine as you are doing just binary upgrades of system and packages and it's really very easy. In your case you can try compile from ports, but set FETCH_PACKAGES=Yes in /etc/mk.conf to avoid compilation of packages which are available as binary.

I thanked you in my first post. Thanks for porting this. The 3A systems are a completely different design. In addition to the CPU being multicore and using a completely different crossbar, the northbridge is now an AMD chip. A lot of work is needed to run on it, which is not worth starting until these systems are readily available. Unfortunately it seems Lemote can not produce enough of them for the foreign market, and I am told the ATX motherboard flavour (which would be much more interesting for server systems, or simply to use better disks than 2.5 ones) is not intended to be sold outside China. Thanks for the update.

I couldn't imagine needing so much space for my intended use of OpenBSD so I decided to dual boot OpenBSD and some flavor of Linux. While I still had the original preinstalled Linux available I partitioned the drive for my OpenBSD and future Linux install and then did the OpenBSD installation in the OpenBSD partition. Custom layout. I fixed this by copying boot to the boot partition and PMON has no trouble booting it. The second install of the snapshot ended normally. Second install of the same snap? Yes, and I wondered if somehow the installer detected I had boot saved in an ext2 partition (which was not true of the first two installs but was by the third install, which was the second snapshot install), but I really can't imagine how it would know. -- _ ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) Please follow up to the mailing list against HTML e-mail X and proprietary/ \ Mutt.org attachmentsCode Blue or Go Home!
