Hi,
I have a few OpenBSD boxes, including two firewalls at my house that I
just upgraded to 5.1.
Unfortunately post-upgrade I seem to have triggered some unusual
condition with them where they go completely unresponsive
(network/console don't respond at all). Keyboard lights do continue to
work and i'm able to enter ddb with the ctrl-alt-esq sequence.
Sadly, I'm not so versed in kernel debugging, and OpenBSD kernel
debugging even less so, if I had a panic backtrace or similar I could
get somewhere but as-is, i'm somewhat lost for what information I need
to make a good bug report (I think its a bug).
I'm obviously being very nebulous with this email, I apologize for that.
Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction so I can gather
the required information to make a proper investigation and bug report,
if warranted.
The short and highly incomplete version of the issue i'm seeing is that
some network commands (even as simple as ifconfig x up -- or down/up)
trigger the hang. I'm fairly confident i'm not dealing with a hardware
problem as I have two different boxes that I can cause this on.
Thanks in advance for any information you can offer to help,
-Adam
