i was fairly certain as i was opening the files in it to see what showed up there. but with all the panics and the reinstalls i got confused. sorry about that, perhaps i was looking at it before the reinstall as this is the first panic i got after the reinstall. i mounted everything using sync so it looks like it survived the panic and fsck much better :) is there a way to record the bootup fsck output without a serial console? > > (just had a panic again, but this > > time a blind 'boot dump' resulted > > only in a reboot) > > I would be bidding on cheap computers on ebay and starting with the > plainest install possible if my box was failing like yours. i agree that at the moment my openbsd experience is very suboptimal. in fact, i get a panic sooner or later every 3-4 days (i suspend with lid). i am not a masochist (i keep telling myself), i am just trying to get a good kernel core dump and a usable bug report. the problem is that sometimes the fs cannot survive a lockup like this out of the blue. however the first "genuine" (not fs related) panic i got was i think ath(4) related. throughput on this card is very bad (and i am sitting next to the router) and periodically i have to kickstart it with ifconfig scan because it just "stops". and the netbsd driver is of no help here :( so my next step is trying a run(4) usb dongle for a couple of days and see if the panics go away. this is a thinkpad X60s, and those don't come cheap. i am not aware (yet) of any of the hw failing, so i would like to keep it. -f -- i plan to live forever or die trying.
