Giving 15.1-BETA3 a test-run today 🙂 Looking all very good so far! Even on an underpowerd troubleshooting node with just 512MB of memory!

RE: https://burningboard.net/@Larvitz/116584334811849567

Post-mortem from today’s FreeBSD/arm64 outage of my prod web-server:

After reboot, the box appeared to hang around ZFS root/init. Pools imported fine from live media, /sbin/init was valid, old kernel/BE made no difference. There was also a stale GPT signature on a whole-disk ZFS vdev, which made the trail extra noisy.

Actual RCA: a stray " in /etc/rc.conf in my static_routes line. rc.conf is shell, so that broke early boot badly enough that networking never came up and it looked like kernel/ZFS/init trouble.

Fixed syntax, restored ZFS canmount values, jails back online.

Lesson: always run sh -n /etc/rc.conf before rebooting. 🫠

OpenBSD update issues I've had are resolved!

Thank you to everyone who gave me things to try to resolve my #OpenBSD Dell Optiplex 3080 i5 not wanting to boot /bsd but would only boot /bsd.sp and bsd.rd
I tried everything from booting bsd.rd and upgrading to using doas sysupgrade -s but each upgrade failed the same. I even deleted /bsd so it remade it after an upgrade but still the same.
Finally after thinking the next step was to do a fresh install I decided to try rolling back the snapshot to the 1st May. This is not recommended but what had I to lose ?
So i entered doas sysupgrade -sf http://ftp.hostserver.de/archive/2026-05-01-0105/ and guess what ? It only boots into /bsd now and I have all my CPU's back !
Yipee ! 🎉
Now to see if a doas sysupgrade -s does it's stuff and still boots /bsd`

OK there must be a bug somewhere as I rolled back to 1St may snapshot and booted with multicpu kernel no problems.
Then I tried to upgrade to the latest with doas sysupgrade -s and it's back to not booting the /bsd !!!!
Time to rollback to maybe the 14th may and see if that's
OK ??

It's that time of the year when Ottawa is hotter than here.
Last year, at BSDCan, the weather was perfect.
I'm still sad that I can't make it this year, but there's always next year.
If you can, go. You won't regret it!

Is there anyone out there running an AMD 5650GE based system running Linux or BSD?

Can you tell us your CPU and GPU idle power numbers as displayed in btop?

Maybe this is an "easy button" of sorts to reduce power on an existing AMD AM4 system without going through the machinations of new mobo, ram, etc., etc. Get most of the way there?
