Question Unable to install 5.9 release

I believe install59.iso (SHA256: 2dc63be74b0877f716d6eabfaf1092c3894e201754349eb360 4aa907711c435e) frozen since Feb 8, 2016 is the retail version that will be launched in May.

I burned it to a CD and tried to install the OS. The installation process was unable to proceed. Below are the relevant details that I copied by hand:

Code:
acpipwres at acpi0 not configured
acpitz at acpi0 not configured
acpibat at acpi0 not configured
acpibtn at acpi0 not configured
pci0 at mainbus0 bus 0
pchb0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 vendor "Intel", unknown product 0x190f rev 0x07
vga1 at pci0 dev 2 function 0 "Intel HD Graphics 530" rev 0x06
vga1: aperture needed
wsdisplay1 at vga1 mux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation)
xhci0 at pci0 dev 20 function 0 "Intel 100 Series xHCI" rev 0x31: msi
usb0 at xhci0: USB revision 3.0
uhub0 at usb0 "Intel xHCI root hub" rev 3.00/1.00 addr 1
My box froze at uhub0 at usb0 "Intel xHCI root hub" rev 3.00/1.00 addr 1 for more than 30 minutes and it did not respond to any keys or combination of keys that I pressed. I had to switch off the main plug.

Any help would be much appreciated.

You would be incorrect. There have been commits made daily since then, and as of 12 hours ago -- my last repository sync -- 5.9-release has not yet been tagged. And, even after tagging, some release engineering requirements over the next weeks may add additional commits.

This was merely the last snapshot made public of the particular architecture you are interested in. There have been six other snapshots built and made public after Feb 8 for other architectures you don't use, as of this moment.

You are also the first person I've ever seen use the phrase "retail version" regarding OpenBSD.

From the information you have presented, it is unclear what has happened. If your architecture happens to be i386 or amd64, you can use a "verbose" boot as described in FAQ 5.10, which might show more clearly why the kernel hangs after the probe of your USB 3.0 hardware has completed. Might.

I'm glad I'm wrong about the Feb 8 snapshot being the release version. The snapshot certainly needs hardware support for Intel Skylake CPUs, Intel H170 and Z170 chipsets. (My setup is an Intel Skylake CPU with Intel H170 chipset.)

There's always a first, innit? I'm not wrong to call it the release version "the retail version" as OpenBSD's founder encourages supporters to buy the OS pressed on CDs.

If you don't like the phrase "retail version", what about "release to manufacturing (RTM) version"? That's a phrase borrowed from Microsoft.

You guessed it, my architecture is amd64.

I did per your advice and below is the snippet of what appeared on my screen:

Code:
>>>xhci probe won
xhci0 at pci0 dev 20 function 0 "Intel 100 Series xHCI" rev 0x31: msi
>>>probing for usb*
>>>usb probe returned 1
>>>usb probe won
usb0 at xhci0: USB revision 3.0
>>>probing for uhub*
>>>uhub probe returned 10
>>>uhub probe won
uhub0 at usb0 "Intel xHCI root hub" rev 3.00/1.00 addr 1
Again for the second time, my box froze at uhub0 at usb0 "Intel xHCI root hub" rev 3.00/1.00 addr 1 and it did not respond to any keys or combination of keys that I pressed. I had to switch off the main plug.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Per Ted Unangst (tedu@) in January, it appears that Skylake support is in progress, but will be unlikely to make 5.9. Here are two discussions on the tech@ mailing list referring to Skylake.

The release available for download may have equivalent kernels and filesets to what's on the CDs, but the CDs themselves are not identical. They contain multiple architectures, limited packages, source tarballs, and music too. Externally, there are some very nice stickers.

The project refers to both the downloadable and the purchasable releases as "--release". FAQ 5.1 outlines the flavors and the development process, and here's a 2009 presentation that explains a little about release engineering and the release process. Theo did a more recent presentation on the development cycle, but at the moment I cannot find a link to it.

Your hardware is not yet supported. You may be able to assist the project with testing of future support of the hardware. You would need a second amd64 machine that is supported, to use as a build platform, for testing patches. Or, even developing them, if you are so inclined. To that end, if the failing kernel is GENERIC, rather than the RAMDISK kernel used during install, the kernel debugger ddb(4) might be used to determine where and why the kernel is looping.

I was incorrect; this was the last public presentation on release engineering. The slides linked above may be clarified by following along with the recorded video of the presentation.

Renamed thread using more standard terminology.

Readers should understand that at the time of writing, OpenBSD 5.9-release had not yet been officially released.

Yesterday a new amd64 snapshot appeared so development is still continuing:

Yes. Commits are continuing. You can follow along with the cvs(1) up command, or with the source-changes@ mailing list, or with the Changelogs that are posted daily on mirrors. Tagging, when it occurs, can be seen with the cvs() log command, with a local CVSync repository, and on the CVS web portal.
