Help. I was upgrading a few very similar machines to -current today. ONE of the three decided to be unpleasant. The thing has a serial console, and but it is about 370km from me. :-/
Upgrade from Sep 9 current to today's current via bsd.rd, just like the other two. Upon reboot, it does this (from /boot) : booting hd0a:/bsd: 8484712+2429968+244048+0+667648 [636809heap full (0x9d304+65536) And then reboots the system, as if from power-down/power-up. (already something I haven't seen before) Reboot from "bsd.rd" and "bsd.sp", same results. reboot from "obsd" (Sept 9), same results. Not a kernel problem, it seems. About this point, I'm starting to think how the serial console has let me down. I remember how to bring up a DRAC remote CD image via ssh tunnels to the drac and how to run java in a windows browser, and reboot off the remote CD image, do another upgrade, all goes fine (again), but upon reboot, same results... "heap full" and reboot. Boot from remote CD, at the boot> prompt, enter "boot hd0a:/bsd", and it boots Just Fine from the local hard disk (only boot pulled from the remote CD). Boot loader! Reinstalled boot: # installboot -v sd0 Using / as root installing bootstrap on /dev/rsd0c using first-stage /usr/mdec/biosboot, second-stage /usr/mdec/boot copying /usr/mdec/boot to /boot /boot is 3 blocks x 32768 bytes fs block shift 3; part offset 64; inode block 24, offset 2088 master boot record (MBR) at sector 0 partition 3: type 0xA6 offset 64 size 2000397671 /usr/mdec/biosboot will be written at sector 64 good, right? Reboot off local hard disk, boom. problem is still there. maybe not the boot loader. :-/ Verified /boot on trouble system and good system are the same. I'm not going to cry "bug", since there are two nearly identical systems working just fine. But I can't think of what I did wrong or what to do to fix it. Suggestions?
