Can't boot Loongson after upgrade from 5.2 - 5.3

2013-06-19 Thread John Long
Has anyone done a successful upgrade from Loongson 5.2 to 5.3? I've done upgrades on numerous platforms and this is the only one I've ever had problems with. The upgrade seemed to go fine and finish normally. After the reboot it goes from the Lemote Dragon screen to a black screen and stops there.

Where did you get your 5.3 release from? Did you check its md5? That's it! Thank you. I got release from ftp.openbsd.org. But the sha256 for bsd doesn't match what's in SHA256. I'm used to ignoring those messages from snapshots so I didn't catch it. Cluebatting myself...apparently it was
