Hello, I am really NOT seeking to annoy, troll or even cause unessesary noice. My only (selfish) question here is for support since I am running out of self-testing-solutions ..
I have previous had HP Microserver N36 and also N54, both worked with OpenBSD out of the box. While it has been interesting to understand better about boot -c options and obviously the options to disable things during boot .. I am totally stuck, and also pretty anoyed about the lack of my knowlegde or abilities. Last month I gave away these servers to our IT community in the Netherlands , and treated myselve to a "final" solution to store my data. Thus I got an old Gen10 (NOT PLUS) Microserver. This however does NOT work out of the box with OpenBSD, even when i disable a whole lot it appaerantly is getting stuck during boot time at several places, I cannot get it to boot at all. I have first tried installing OpenBSD from an img usb and install onan other USB, when the install is over, it gets stuck at the first boot. Also when I try a previously installed (N36) working OpenBSD set up from a HD, it still gets stuck at the boot .. Last night I ended up disabeling around 10 things ; for example acpi,ahci,ln0,it,lpt, etc etc .. Can anyone maybe share some experience with this machine ? how to I get it to install OpenBSD properly and also boot ? For the moment I have been able to install and setup NetBSD 10.1, however, since I am a real OpenBSD adept, it just does not feel right , is that understandable ? I have not attached error messages, since they are numerous and as said, I have almost disabled already more then ten things with the boot -c options. Thank you kindly for considering my request for support here ... any words are greatfully and in many thanks accepted .. Best regards, eelco vitalis
