You are right - that would have been the better way.

I checked beforehand via disklabel if sd0 and sd1 are the actual RAID
volumes and sd2 is the decrypted volume. Everything now is fine again:
With the key disk inserted OpenBSD starts as usual.

Thank you devs for your fine work - the problem sat in front of the
screen ;-)  Lesson learnt.

I know it is more to type but you can use uids to make sure it is the
right disk too.

For the records:

As I was able to boot into bsd.rd on the shell I did:

'bioctl -c C -k /dev/sd1a -l /dev/sd0a softraid0'

After a reboot I could start via

'boot sr0a:/bsd'

into normal operations. Guess I have to do
'installboot sd2'
now as this is what the RAID-volume was attached to.

Thanks to all of you who took some time and provided help!

Best,
STEFAN

Forgot this one:

I have three different key disks - none of them gets the system a go.

Mmmh - this is s.th. I cannot rule out for shure. Last time the system
was work flawless I had an encrypted external HD attached to make my
daily backup. Maybe I did a 'bioctl -d' on the sdx the sd0 was attached
to after disencryption (no - sd0 isn't always attached to sd2! This can
be anything from 2 to 7, usually) instead of the sd-number the external
HD was attached to...

If so - is there any chance to recover?

> 4. Did you by any chance run installboot on sd0 or sd1? That'd be wrong.
I tried but without success. Obviously.


Thanks again and

On Thu, 8 Mar 2018 14:47:43 +0100



Has anyone a clue what might have happend and how to solve the

issue?

I searched the net but didn't find any substantial infos on this.

As

the error happends with all three USB-keys I have this is

unlikely to

be cause of the trouble.

The bootloader normally lists the disks that the bios sees

beforehand

e.g.

disk: hd0+ hd1+ sr0*

OpenBSD/amd64 BOOT 3.34

Perhaps they have been moved around?


I tried

boot hd1a:/bsd

but got the same message.

I can enter # fsck -fy hd0a but ‎this just gets me a prompt

without any action. BTW: This is a SSD.

OK - back at home I downloaded install63.iso and burned a CD which

does

start. Choosing "(U)pgrade" I am presented with "Available disks

are:

sd0 sd1" - but both are "not a valid root disk". Back to the shell

I

tried fdisk but I get "fdisk: sd0: No such file or directory"

Could this be an issue with the bootloader or is it the encryption

of

softraid0 that hinders the upgrade?


tb@ provided another valuable hint:
I can start the boot-process with 'boot sr0a:/bsd' but this ends with

a

panic:

...
softraid0 at root
scsibus4 at softraid0:256 targets

*    0        0        0    0X1        0X200    OK    swapper
...


OK . final remarks for tonight:

I can start 'boot sr0a:/bsd.rd' but trying to upgrade is the same
dead-end road - "sd0 is not a valid root device".

'fdisk sd0' shows the expected '*' before the partition number.

It might help to see the actual output.


'disklabel sd0' shows the expected fstype "RAID" 'for sd0a.

It would certainly help to see the output here. Does it span the *entire* disk, 
from 0 to the end?


Doing 'bioctl -c C -l /dev/sd0a' says "KDF hint has invalid size".

'installboot -nv sd0a' misses '/usr/mdec/biosboot' - there is only
'/usr/mdec/mbr'.

While the 'upgrade' started from 'boot sr0a:/bsd.rd' does not see 'sd0'
the 'install' process started from the CD actually does.

"sd0 is not a valid root device" does not say it does not *see* the device. It says 
"sd0 is not a valid root device", which is totally correct, as it only holds some raid 
metadata and the corresponding encrypted data.

If sd0(a) is a single RAID partition, and sd1 holds the key, your root disk 
should appear as sd2 (or whatever the next unused sdN is).

So, if "sd0 is not a valid root device" and "sd1 is not a valid root device", 
what gives for sd2?

Please provide as much output as possible from the process. Your interpretation 
of it is far less helpful in understanding the problem at hand.

Sincerely,
Alexander

Hi Alexander,

thank you so much for the time you took to look at my posts and to 
reply.I type everything from the screen:


At boot time the system reports:

Using drive 0, partition 3.
Loading..

I'd say something is strange here already. sr0 should have an asterisk 
after it. I cannot find the relevant man page to tell you (or me) why, 
though. :-d

As said, neither hd0 nor hd1 should be bootable. The assembled sr0

At this point the system stops the process but is still reachable:

Starting /bsd from sr0a is possible but the result is the kernel crash I 
already reported.
BUT: I can start bsd.rd!!! By this I was able to post the dmesg (for 
your convenience again at the end).

Running dmesg from the CD-shell the system "sees" sd0 (the internel SSD)
and sd1 (the USB with the key). Having attached another USB drive I see
this is recognizes as sd2. But running 'fdisk sd2' or 'disklabel sd2' I
get "No such file or directory" (and consequently as well when trying to
mount this external drive).

Puzzled...

OK - back at home I downloaded install63.iso and burned a CD which does
start. Choosing "(U)pgrade" I am presented with "Available disks are:
sd0 sd1" - but both are "not a valid root disk". Back to the shell I
tried fdisk but I get "fdisk: sd0: No such file or directory"

Could this be an issue with the bootloader or is it the encryption of
softraid0 that hinders the upgrade?

The bootloader normally lists the disks that the bios sees beforehand
e.g.

disk: hd0+ hd1+ sr0*
>> OpenBSD/amd64 BOOT 3.34

Perhaps they have been moved around?


I tried

boot hd1a:/bsd

but got the same message.

I can enter # fsck -fy hd0a but ‎this just gets me a prompt without any action. 
BTW: This is a SSD.

booting hd0a:/bsd: open hd0a:/bsd: Invalid argument

2018-03-08 Thread Stefan Wollny
Hi there!

I need help or some hints on how to proceed:
My system a laptop running amd64-current fully encrypted, key-based. I start 
from BIOS, not UEFI.

Two days ago I updated to the then latest snapshot and apparently s.th. went 
wrong: At reboot the system stops after

>> OpenBSD/amd64 BOOT 3.34
open(hd0a:/etc/boot.conf): Invalide argument
boot>
cannot open hd0a:/etc/random.seed: Invalid argument
booting hd0a:/bsd: open hd0a:/bsd: Invalid argument
 failed(22). will try /bsd
Turning timeout off.
boot>

Has anyone a clue what might have happend and how to solve the issue? I 
searched the net but didn't find any substantial infos on this. As the error 
happends with all three USB-keys I have this is unlikely to be cause of the 
trouble. At present I only have a USB-stick with install62.fs with me (roughly 
3~4 weeks old) which only starts if I change from BIOS to UEFI.

As all data from /home is redundantly backed up I could reinstall everything 
but would prefer to avoid it.

There are dmesgs from this laptop with some older posts. Obviously no current 
dmesg possible...

Any hint/idea/suggestion welcome!

TIA.

Best,
STEFAN
