Boot problem with MBPro 8,2 and OSX/El Capitain and OpenBSD - and workaround
after updating OSX with El Capitain my Linux and OpenBSD partitions wouldn’t boot anymore. Here is how I worked around it: I anyhow had to install fresh OpenBSD 6.0, I re-installed it on a partition of the internal hard drive. Then I had to do 2 steps: EFI and RADEON: 1.) get EFIBOOT working OpenBSD can do EFI boot (no rEFInd or rEFIt required). Therefor I need to copy OpenBSD’s BOOTX64.EFI file to the EFI partition. My EFI partition is the second on my drive, so I mount it, and list the contents: $ diskutil mount /dev/disk0s1 $ ls -l /Volumes/EFI/EFI I have only APPLE there, looks like the El Capitain update deleted the previous files. So I create a new directory: $ mkdir /Volumes/EFI/EFI/Boot and copy the BOOTX64.EFI file into this. Perfect, now I reboot, and after the sound I hold left alt key, and I have the choice to boot something called „EFI BOOT“. Well, ok for me, OpenBSD starts. Next step: 2.) kernel hangs after loading INTELDRM this is a known problem for me, I already mentioned this here in previous versions of OpenBSD: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=139161264231456&w=2 I then tried to reboot into UKC („boot -c“), just to discover that the screen flickers at the prompt, and the system hangs. —> it turns out, that the radeondrm is causing the issues, so I had to start my virtual OpenBSD 6.0 system, and change the kernel there: $ config -e -o bsd.new /bsd ukc> disable radeondrm ukc> quit The new file must be copied onto a USB stick, probably msdos formatted. I reboot my MBPro with OpenBSD 6.0 installation disk, choose to upgrade, and stop after the fsck was done. This way the disk was mounted readonly at /mnt. I need to be able to write to it, so remount r/w, mount also USB stick, and copy the new kernel: $ mount -u -o rw /mnt $ mount -o ro /dev/sd0i /mnt2 $ cp /mnt2/bsd.new /mnt/bsd $ reboot at this point my OpenBSD would boot properly on the MBPro 8,2. One observation: the temperature was quit high of the system, I could hear the fans running all the time. I had the impression, it was more silent in the previous version… Here is my dmesg: OpenBSD 6.0 (GENERIC) #2148: Tue Jul 26 12:55:20 MDT 2016 [email protected]:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC RTC BIOS diagnostic error ff<clock_battery,ROM_cksum,config_unit,memory_size,fixed_disk,invalid_time> real mem = 4185079808 (3991MB) avail mem = 4053819392 (3866MB) mpath0 at root scsibus0 at mpath0: 256 targets mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: SMBIOS rev. 2.4 @ 0x8ad34000 (82 entries) bios0: vendor Apple Inc. version "MBP81.88Z.0047.B2C.1510261540" date 10/26/15 bios0: Apple Inc.
