Even if you gracefully shutdown your OS, you always end up with some sort of power lost on your drive. The idea is to stop writing on disk before doing so. I use a read only file system, so should not be an issue (I think). Anyway, following that taught I have done some more testing even if I really doubt that it is the issue. To be sure that it was not related to power cycling, I did test again without power cycling. I just use the reset button with exact same result. As for the openbsd issue, please note that on my case it stop before loading the kernel (Linux). It stop before grub menu. So I do not think it is related. My test was, not booting full system. As soon as I get Grub menu I did a reset. Success was getting grub menu, fail was when Grub fail to show Grub menu. Soren do you have any idea ?
