Hi. I’m hoping someone either has a cluebat or some helpful suggestions beyond “reinstall”.
I had an alix 2d13 running OpenBSD 6.3. I finally got around to upgrading to 6.4 (via https://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade64.html), and that seemed to go just fine (I used the Upgrading Manually section, since I don’t have (easy) access to the console). I let that run for a day, just to make sure all was well, and then attempted an upgrade to 6.5 (via https://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade65.html), again using the “Upgrading Manually” section. This time, between smtpd and relinking the kernel, it appears my Alix board is quickly running out of memory. Within a few seconds the sr rate is in the 20K range. I stopped the ld for relinking, and killed SMTPD in order to finish the install (the makedev ALL, sysmerge, pkg_update -u bits), and that all ran fine. But about 15-20 minutes after a reboot, the box just goes off the network, and there’s not much I can do. I can download and reinstall 6.5, but was hoping to avoid that pain, but I just want to make sure 6.5 has no issues on the Alix boards. . . Thanks! I’d attach dmesg, but the box is dead again. . . If anyone wants to dive into what’s going on, just let me know what info you want to see. Sean
