... install 5.1-release to see if the segfault issue goes away ...
|
As reading bsd.rd failed -yet another more openfirmware eccentricity .. it often works on iBook- I downloaded the latest snapshot (sept 20) install CD , burnt it and installed it. sysctl kern.version
Code:
kern.version=OpenBSD 5.2-current (GENERIC) #12: Tue Sep 11 14:32:34 MDT 2012
deraadt@macppc.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/macppc/compile/GENERIC
No segfault :-) .. I can launch all installed apps .. but again those blue lines still embellish my screen .. :-)
eg.
Code:
d0 (wdc0:0:0 ) : timeout
type: ata
c_bcount: 16384
c_skip: 0
wd0g: device timeout writing fsbn ****** of ********-******** (wd0 bn ********; cn****** tn 13 sn 13), retrying
wd0: soft error (corrected)
More likey : "I/O errors are due to a hardware problem in electronics or cable or media" , as you said .
I've installed both smartmontools and e2fsprogs.
smartctl -t long -l selftest /dev/wd0c output :
