Hello,
I run 5.1-beta from a snapshot ( #141) and I got a kernel panic on a
computer that was running ok the other versions of OpenBSD, the last
good one being 4.9 from a snapshot at that time. I skipped 5.0 and I
grabbed 5.1 snapshot to install. This is the second that gives me the
kernel panic,
I did some mistakes in the previous email, I used kernel panic
reference, which is not what happened. The blue screen got me too
quick.
Thanks.
I will add here some update: I did new installs using 4.9-release and
5.0-release and they are working fine, the kernel is not stopped
neither on install or boot.
I omitted to say that on 5.1-beta the install kernel ( bsd.rd right ?)
is booting fine, the problem is on normal boot that I receive

I'm not sure I got it right, because I'm not familiar with the
