The Mouse - Can you configure /etc/sysctl.conf to enable ddb and then drop to ddb prompt when this happens to capture some output:
http://www.openbsd.org/report.html and http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi/OpenBSD-current/man5/sysctl.conf.5?query=sysctl%2econf&sec=5 Also, perhaps an MP bsd.rd (isn't bsd.rd MP?) would allow you to get a dmesg as the hang happens when root and swap are mounted. This might be enough to allow you to report a problem as described in the report.html link above and may help developers. If I knew more about macppc I'd probably have more suggestions. Good luck! -Justin On Sep 30, 2014, at 11:26 PM, The Mouse wrote: > Hello list, > > I have a PowerMac7,2 (Dual 2.0Ghz PPC970 stock hardware) unit that works > perfectly fine on OpenBSD until I try to use the MP kernel. > > The MP kernel right to the end and detects the root and swap partitions > then it hangs indefinately.
