A workaround for this is to comment-out pkg_scripts in rc.conf.local and any code in rc.shutdown invoking dynamically-linked programs before starting the upgrade, however it's safer to do a bsd.rd upgrade from the console (or yaifo).

Can't say from the information given. Did you save an old kernel/bsd.rd?

I am in Austin Texas, with my cute little crappy laptop in a truck stop with lousy Wifi. I have had a remote server in Lansing Michigan since 2007. They offer a remote IP based Keyboard, video and mouse attachment that they connect to my server. I must have a web browser with Java in order to use it, from this or any other location in the world. I do not own the server, I rent it.

I guess that is why no one has replied. I have a remote server for my websites and PostgreSQL databases for my business. I used the http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade51.html#upgrade: Upgrading without install kernel (modified to -current files) This is NOT the recommended process. Use the install kernel method if at all possible! I have successfully used this method (for -current, never release) several times I hadn't built Java addon for firefox35 recently because I always run -current or close to it. I built Java, but I cannot get any (including a slightly older version) firefox35 to work. I cannot achieve anything without IP access with Java. If this is a hardware failure, I will ask for a replacement of whatever it is that is broken. If this is my fault, I can re-install or re-upgrade remotely, but I do not have access to the interface I need until Wed. Chris Bennett

Unhelpful. The server has been running since early 2007, so it seems reasonable that a reboot, including several hard reboots might bring up a hardware failure. These are unmanaged servers, so unless I decide that the hardware is broken, I have to solve the problem myself. Since I can't get F'ing firefox35 to work, I'm a little pissed! Chris Bennett
Problem with server upgrade, upgrade or hardware failure?
I did an update to my remote server using the ssh method, since I did not have Java built But it failed to reboot >From an IP KVM on someone elses computer with Java. Boots into ddb right after boot> (with message below) However, after I type boot -s to get into single user mode, I get ddb with a message similar to: kernal protection fault trap Stopped at calibrate_cyclecounter, etc If I type boot> boot bsd.rd, the server immediately shuts down and reboots I am building Java right now. Does this sound like a hardware failure or bad upgrade?? I am going to try upgrade with IP KVM after Java finishes building Java built but I cannot get firefox35 to work. I am on latest snapshot for i386 [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE) [nsIJSCID.getService]" nsresult: "0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://browser/content/utilityOverlay.js :: getShellService :: line 312" data: no] Chris Bennett
