kernel panic on imac ..

[daemonfowl]

Hi !

Today I wanted to update OpenBSD 5.0 to current using snapshots .. this time the target harware is my old iMac Bondie Blue .. hoping that with OBSD current maybe I will be able to startx successfully ..
On reboot when I chose bsd.rd a kernel panic occurred ..

* how can I report that in a useful way ? and is it still possible after a power down

* what else should I do after normal reboot ? any ways around ?


Thank you !

[daemonfowl]

Hi !
I decided to install OpenBSD on Bondie Blue ad keep NetBSD for the ibook ..
my question was about what to do when a kernel panic takes place and how to know the cause and so try solving it ...

Two points:

• Very few people on this site run Apple hardware, & from experience, legacy Apple hardware has its own issues.
• dmesg(8) output as you already have OpenBSD 5.0 installed?

I'm trying to Daemonise my legacy stuff ..

daemonfowl, you will further your own cause & reputation on this site if you use the terminology used by everyone else. If you mean installation and/or upgrading, say just that -- "I'm trying to upgrade a "bondi blue" Imac previously running OpenBSD 5.0 to -current." This is clear & concise. Maybe your "daemon"-this & "daemon"-that phrasing is really cool from your vantage point, but most on this site don't understand it. Deciphering takes time, & it just forces unnecessary work on your readers.

Your goal is to attract others to offer insight. This is done through clarity. It's really that simple.

I approve of what you said and am advocating your point of view which is an axis in the UNIX world .. if it weren't for simplicity UNIX would not be that success ! .. I said that in a context that involves an Hp Ipaq and 'daemonize' is suggestive of nothing more than porting one of the BSDs to it as I did with the ibook and the imac .. ok no more eccentricities on my part .. I edited the post .. and I'll watch my language according to the KISS principle ..

I'm putting dmesg after a while ..

yet another issue : startx freezes imac .. whether as root for a first X configuration , or as user ..

See crash(8).

yet another issue : startx freezes imac .. whether as root for a first X configuration , or as user ..

There is a log file produced by Xorg in /var/log...

[daemonfowl]

Thanks Jgimmi !! your directives are very useful ..
Does it log even in a cold boot case ? well I'll check later and supply the log if found ..

[jggimi]

I assume, @daemonfowl, that you may have also missed FAQ 11.2.10.

[daemonfowl]

Thanks Jgimmi ! you're always right .. at least for my case .. :-) luckily this time OpenBSD has brought me another comforting surprise : I upgraded the Imac to current .. and X is now working well .. It seems that Bondie Blue rhymes well with the new OS .. far better than the ibook does .. so no issues at all except that I miss Opera port .. it seems to be the best dealing with feeds,gmane, etc here is my new log :

This is a little off topic, but I've seen you mention "building" Opera in several threads

Opera is a closed source, proprietary product owned by Opera Software ASA. The www/opera port does not build from source, the 'make' merely extracts and installs the Opera Linux binary directly from the distfile, obtained from Opera Software. Read the Makefile in www/opera, and you will see:

 
NO_BUILD=    Yes

along with the installation commands.
