Greetings all,
I am trying to upgrade via Code:
# sysupgrade -r After reboot it announces: Code:
"upgrade detected: switching to upgrade /bsd.rd" Code:
"entry point at 0x1001000" I vaguely remember having a similar problem before, but cannot remember how I solved it. Any help would be appreciated. Kindest regards, M |

You had reported this problem in July of 2023, here, but you did not report how you overcame it.

Hi jggimi,
yes, I had found my thread before posting, but, as you observed, it does not contain a solution. I found my notes, which reveal that I used a new install. I would prefer not to do so again, as I do not want to go through the configuration. Unfortunately, this is my only laptop with a non-NVIDIA card. Can a faster processor with more cores, e.g., i7 with 4 cores, overcome the lack of drivers for NVIDIA? Kindest regards, N |

Hi jggimi,
thank you for the clarification. What about a laptop with NVIDIA Optimus technology, that has a discrete graphic card, e.g. NVIDIA Quadro K2100M and a an integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600 chip-set? would that work? Kindest regards, M |

I'm not @jggimi but I'll take a stab at it anyway.
I think the purpose of Dual video chips in laptops is to provide power hungry, high end graphics when on the electrical grid. Intel video provides low amperage graphics when on the battery. OpenBSD does not have the software to switch graphics on the fly. Often the bios has a setting where the the NVidia chip can be turned off. OpenBSD will recognize the intel chip and load the appropriate video driver. It should work with these. |

If your machine has that BIOS option, I would disable Nvidia Grahics. Quote:
Outside of that, OpenBSD seems to know it has Intel integrated Video and defaults to that. So video works well.

Hi shep,
thank you for your reply. I understand the purpose of the dual video-cards, I just did not know whether the OS needs some specific support for switching between them or, if such a support is missing, and drivers are available, which card is selected. However, it seems that @jmccue confirmed your conclusion that it should work. Hi jmccue, thank you for your reply. As you might have concluded from my reference to the video-cards, I do have W540. I did some search before posting, but did not find any answers regarding this model. Since I understand that the difference between the W540 and the W541 is the trackpad, can you let me know what works/does not work? Kindest regards, M |

But, everything OpenBSD supports works fine on the W541. Of course Bluetooth does not work since OpenBSD does not support BT. I never used the mic or camera. But no issues with anything else. As noted above, the Nvidia Chip gets hot. If you do install OpenBSD on the W540, please post if you have the same heat issue. Port obsdfreqd helps a lot with the heat. FWIW I also cleaned and re-pasted. I needed help to do that on the W541, it is very difficult to re-paste. I have these settings in /etc/rc.conf.local: Code:
apmd_flags=-L -Z 5 obsdfreqd_flags=-m 60,45 -l 0,0 -T 70,60 -r 50 -s 3 -t 3000 pkg_scripts=vnstatd obsdfreqd shlib_dirs=/opt/jmc/lib sndiod_flags=-f rsnd/0 -F rsnd/1 xenodm_flags= HTH

Greetings all,
being stupid, but stubborn, I was again attempting to upgrade, and noticed that upon boot the OS reports: Code:
upgrade is not u+x Code:
ls -l /bsd.* Code:
-rwx------ 1 root wheel 21692337 Jul 22 21:13 /bsd.booted -rw------- 1 root wheel 4208189 Mar 11 22:41 /bsd.rd -rw------- 1 root wheel 21596753 Mar 11 22:41 /bsd.sp -rw------- 1 root wheel 4606368 Jul 22 21:22 /bsd.upgrade Kindest regards, M |

This is what I have on a running 7.4 amd64:
Code:
ls -l /bsd* -rwx------ 1 root wheel 25419580 Jan 10 08:14 /bsd -rwx------ 1 root wheel 25403588 Jan 9 19:29 /bsd.booted -rw------- 1 root wheel 4659966 Oct 16 10:50 /bsd.rd -rwx------ 1 root wheel 25344566 Oct 16 10:50 /bsd.sp

Hi jmccue,
as best as I understand it, yours is correct, because the system was either correctly updated or installed, so the /bsd.upgrade has been removed. I did some more search for the error (0x1001000), and it appears that there are many people with the same problem, unfortunately, none of the proposed solutions worked for me. I also tried to upgrade by the "Interactive Upgrade", the OS is trying to load the bsd.rd from 7.4 and fails with the same error. So much for the "Open BSD" just works. Kindest regards, M |

Hello mefisto,
Would you be able to share the hardware you are using? I also looked online about that 0x1001000 error and it seems it can be hardware related. Some users have found that reinstalling with a GPT partition instead of MBR worked¹. You said you have tried other solutions. Can you list them so that we don't lead you to answers you have already tried. [1]: https://old.reddit.com/r/openbsd/com...usb_c/f8uxra5/ |

Hi Onauk,
thank you for your reply and suggestion. I can accept, with caveat, see below, that the issue might originally be hardware related, as I had a problem installing the 7.3, cf., https://daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=12432. Since I had similar problem with upgrade, I found and reviewed my notes, which revealed that I could not install from any of the flash-drive images, but was able to install from a CD. However, this appears to be a different - non-hardware related(?) because the OS is already installed. What I tried: 1. As documented in my post above, I tried: Code:
chmode change the last four entries to -rwx------ /bsd.upgrade 2. I found a post regarding the same error during upgrade from 6.8, cf., https://www.vincentdelft.be/post/post_20201031; however, not being experienced, I did not recompile the kernel but tried to re-download the bootx64.efi. Cf., also https://andinus.nand.sh/writings/202...t-failure.html. That did not work either. 3. I also tried to upgrade by the "Interactive Upgrade", cf., my post above and FAQ; the OS is trying to load the bsd.rd from 7.4 and fails with the same error. 4. I also found a post, a link of which I cannot locate, wherein people solved he issue on headless installation by connecting a monitor. As crazy as it appears to sound, the gentleman who posted it has a lot of "Thank you" responses. If you do a search with keywords "OpenBSD upgrade", "error 0x1001000" you will find many such complains. I am really disappointed because while running the OS, I really grew to like it. Kindest regards, M |

I know on my ThinkPad X240 I can boot with Legacy BIOS instead of UEFI but I know little about Apple hardware. Maybe the fact that you installed 7.1 with a CD has to do with this? Maybe the boot process uses Legacy BIOS only with CD/DVD and UEFI for flash drives? I have no solution for you except to sell this macbook (they tend to keep some value even after many years) and get another laptop. |
