Re: OpenBSD 5.5 on mSATA SSD unit in PC Engines APU.1C - bad dir ino 2 at offset 0: mangled entry kernel panic
No problems so far with Intel mSATA 525 30GB. On a side note I'm a bit worried about the CPU temperate, almost 70 degrees C during normal load.

Did some tests (cold Swedish midsummer around 12C outside) Bedroom floor near open window 1:48PM up 1:06, 1 user, load averages: 0.29, 0.17, 0.11 hw.sensors.km0.temp0=58.00 degC Kitchen countertop, no open windows 3:01PM up 1:09, 1 user, load averages: 0.11, 0.09, 0.08 hw.sensors.km0.temp0=64.25 degC Closed closet where I have my other server/networking stuff 4:14PM up 1:10, 1 user, load averages: 0.20, 0.11, 0.09 hw.sensors.km0.temp0=68.00 degC Max temp for the CPU is 90C http://www.amd.com/Documents/49282_G-Series_platform_brief.pdf On Fri, Jun 20, 2014 at 2:11 PM, Liviu Daia liviu.d...@gmail.com wrote: On 20 June 2014, Zé Loff zel...@zeloff.org wrote: On Fri, Jun 20, 2014 at 11:40:02AM +0200, Roger Wiklund wrote: No problems so far with Intel mSATA 525 30GB.

The case gets pretty hot, so I'm guessing I installed the heatsink correctly... The case itself is the sink. :) Does anyone have (much) lower figures? No, this seems to be common. I managed to lower the temperature a little by rising the case legs, so that there's better air circulation below it. Room temperature makes a big difference too. Regards, Liviu Daia
Re: Transferring Multimedia Files from Mac OS X to OpenBSD

But, I would like to preserve the Music and Videos I've got on it -- mainly from iTunes -- and transfer them to my OpenBSD system so I can play them. Is it simply a case of creating a tar file of the music files and copying them over? Will the encoding (mostly mp4, mp4 and mp4a) be ok to use as-is or will I need to do some extra processing on them using some tool or other? I've got mplayer and vlc player installed which I hope I can use to play them, etc. Has anyone had experience with this type of thing and able to offer some info about the steps, if any, I need to take? Thanks in advance for any help offered. Best wishes, James. I would say VLC can play almost anything. One problem would be DRM though, if you bought stuff from iTunes that has DRM, those files are locked to your iTunes/Mac/Apple ID (not sure which one it is) Just go ahead and copy the files before you sell it and test it out on OpenBSD. There are ways around DRM, for example in iTunes burn the songs to a CD and then rip them, DRM free.

I compiled a custom kernel with the root path hard coded to sd0a, put that on the CD and then it worked. I think it's an OK workaround until IBM fixes the uEFI problem. Did a simple dd with bs=1M count=1024M. SSD IDE write = 175MB/s AHCI write = 250MB/s Pretty significant difference.
OpenBSD 5.2 AHCI problems with IBM x3250 M4
If I enable AHCI mode in UEFI/BIOS and boot from the cd52.iso, the installation finds the disk (sd0) and I can setup everything in fdisk and complete the installation. However when I reboot, the system can't find any operation system. It works if I change it to IDE mode, but I don't want that. VMware ESXi 5.1 installs and boots just fine with AHCI mode. I'm trying to figure out if the problem is with OpenBSD or my hardware as the x3250 M4 runs UEFI and I guess has some sort of BIOS emulation. I've tried 5.3 snapshot with the same result. Any pointers? Thanks!
Where is appetalk NETATALK in GENERIC OBSD 5.0?
Hi, I want to install support for Appletalk on my OBSD 5.0 box. After unsuccessfully trying back and forth with a custom kernel to add NETATALK I found this: Revision 1.180: download - view: text, markup, annotated - select for diffs Sat Jul 9 00:47:18 2011 UTC (6 months, 1 week ago) by henning Branches: MAIN Diff to: previous 1.179: preferred, coloured Changes since revision 1.179: +1 -2 lines begone, fucking rotten appletalk shit. ok room So appletalk is removed? No way of running it at all anymore? Thanks Regards
