Pardon me Jiggimi but its not an organizational choice if the OpenBSD release does not allow installation because of a Kernal Panic. Therefore, we are not able to upgrade twice per year. We have to run what works, when it does.
You can count your keystrokes for performing any administrative effort you choose at your organization, but when i consider what i do to maintain this equipment i know how much effort it takes here. I haven't the time to compare with others. After reading how many issues arise during upgrade for many here and what it takes to fix those, we choose to wait for stable releases then we perform clean installs only. When we can't do that, through no fault of our own we are back to the original situation run a system that does work and might be hacked ---- or ------ run no system at all The point here is, we are in this situation because of a Kernal Panic on a fresh install not an upgrade from a previous install. We are now in a test situation that will take many hours of research and hundreds of keystrokes testing package changes for a snapshot version. (to see if we can transition from Apache to httpd and open smtpd). |

none none taken, i figure its better to tell it like it is instead of stuffing.
advice and info as usual well taken especially here. If this particular panic not fixed in 5.8 or 5.9 (and continues to be a problem) I will just have to get better at working with the OS so that i can figure the troubleshooting. Very good advice on bsd.rd an interesting feature ! thanks again folks |
