Addition (asked by Taylor R Campbell): a current GENERIC boots only with i915drmkms disabled. With the framebuffer stuff enabled, it does not boot, and does not even panic and reboot. It freezes somewhere. The same as the 9.x series. Le Sat, Aug 20, 2022 at 09:03:52PM +0200, tlaro...@polynum.com

A final point: Context: I rent a baremetal server (OVH) that has an Intel Xeon quadcore, IvyBridge, with 16Gb of RAM, 3 2TB disks, an Intel PRO 1000 ethernet card (but the bandwith is limited to 100Mib). It is an entry level offer, that I wanted only for an IPv4 address (there is an IPv6 address t

Tangentially... If it's an issue picking up the root filesystem, you could boot an INSTALL type kernel with a built in ramdisk with dhcpcd and sshd enabled, and see if you can ssh into the box (I think someone had pre-built arm images which did just that, so the code should be out there :) David

Context: I rent a baremetal server and try to install NetBSD on it. I finally installed a Linux (Debian) and installed NetBSD as a dual boot. But NetBSD doesn't come up (in case there was a network misconfiguration, I verified that no log, no dmesg was written) and neither does it crashes and reboo
