Crashing 64bit (AMD) 6.7 kernel on APU2

Hi, For the first time ever, we have seen a crashing kernel. Having never experienced this before on any OpenBSD release for over 20 years, I have no debugging experience. We have simply reverted to 32bit to see it that is the issue. The system works flawlessly with 6.3 in 32 bit mode but we

Hi Jordan, Thanks for the link -- I have not tested it yet but I believe it will solve my issue. I did search the misc list but I did not see anything in the past year that seemed relevant to my particular time issue. --Aaron On Sat, 2020-08-29 at 01:17 -0700, Jordan Geoghegan wrote: > If you ch

To Ian Darwin : But the password has already been entered, that is previous the boot prompt. When I type "set tty com0", would that immediately switch console? I thought it established the console for the single user mode while loading /bsd (typical white letters on a blue background). About

webcam fixes and changes in -current

Lots of us have to use webcams more than we used to. There have been some recent changes in OpenBSD support for webcams that some might find useful. Most of the hard work was done by Marcus Glocker, with input from Ingo Feinerer, sc.dying, and myself. The first change is that MJPEG in cameras now

The motherboard has pins for a COM serial port, during installation I was asked if I wanted "com0" to become the default console. I said no. A serial port connection for headless system is really useful, you could to enter the password for the encrypted disks and see the kernel's log from a t

Re: Can I boot without GPU ("headless")?

To Ottavio Caruso : It definitely answers the question on how to define com0 as the default console after installation (the /etc/ttys part was specially helpful) and confirms the need to disable vga generic driver. Thank you. To Ian Darwin : I assume that means the software would accept it. Bu
