I have a slightly odd issue with the latest comBIOS and wonder if anyone else has experienced it? I've been running comBIOS 1.32 with no problems, except for the missing disk reboot issue previously documented. Just to try it out (!), I upgraded to 1.32d. As with 1.32, after executing OpenBSD reboot command the Error light remains lit for about a minute. Then comBIOS continues and having failed to find any discs goes for pxe boot. With 1.32, if I then performed a physical reboot (press button at back or power off) all disks are then detected and OpenBSD boots normally. However, with 1.32d, now after a physical reboot the comBIOS states the disks are detected again (although the error light does comes on for a few seconds) but then goes for pxe boot?

If I then perform another physical reboot, the comBIOS finds the disks immediately and boots OpenBSD normally. In summary, following upgrade to 1.32d if I perform an OpenBSD reboot, I am then required to perform two consecutive physical reboots (button at back or power off) before comBIOS finds discs and I can boot os again! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Net5501-1.32d-issue--tf4530475.html#a12928437 Sent from the Soekris - Technical mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
