after 4.3 -> 4.4 upgrade, fails to boot
Hello to everyone,
I have one home firewall/router PC that I use since 3.8 that I upgrade every 6
month. Yesterday I did the 4.3 -> 4.4 upgrade using a boot cd. However, it
fails to boot when I reboot (after the upgrade, when I boot it for the first
time from the hard drive). And by that, I mean that it simply prints this:
>> OpenBSD/i386 BOOT 3.02
boot>
booting hd0a:/bsd: 6238560+1041588=0x6f1788
entry point at 0x200120
And then nothing else. Forever. It just stays there.
Is there any change from 4.3 to 4.4 that could have caused this with my
hardware? (a dmesg follows) Could it be that I now need a custom kernel? How
could I get more infos about what is wrong with it (I don't know how to get
more debugging). I have recovered 4.3 from backups and it works like it used
to.
Thanks to anyone that can help!

NVIDIA nForce Pro support
Hi, does anyone know if this chipset "NVIDIA nForce Professional 3400 MCP" is completely supported by openBSD?? The hardware support page is not clear about that, it only shows "NVIDIA nForce/nForce2/nForce2-400/nForce3/nForce3-250/nForce4, MCP04/MCP51/MCP55/MCP61/MCP65/MCP67".

According to that and the temperatures you reported, it means you have a problem that should be fixed on the hardware level. Your machine simply overheats. You did not tell us a lot about the hardware of this machine. Is it a tower server or is it a rackmount unit? Is it in a server room where the air that enters the case might already be too hot? With more details about your hardware setup, I am sure I can provide you with some tips about how to enhance the cooling.

I think it might be caused by a flawed bios on the motherboard. Also I noticed the operating sytem won't boot if either the mouse or keyboard is unplugged. It simply hangs when it should boot with no errors. That might be bios problems too if I'm not wrong. I think I will buy a new motherboard. This time I'll try with a gigabyte board instead of ECS. The hardware was a few years old anyway. ECS refused to provide support when I contacted them because the motherboard is EOL'ed. _ Achetez ce que vous voulez, quand vous voulez sur Sympatico / MSN Magasiner http://magasiner.sympatico.msn.ca/content/shp/?ctId=101,ptnrid=176,ptnrdata=081805
