473

[ Update ] Changing the mirror to Oxford resolved this issue but on upgrading to todays 17th May took me back to the last issue where /bsd will not boot error 255.
So I rolled back to the last known working snapshot of 14th May and everything works again /bsd boots perfectly.

Also re the installer issue, I wasn't the only person to suffer see below link.

So today on #OpenBSD snapshot dramas. I obvs am successfully running on the 14th May #473 snapshot so today run doas sysupgrade -s and it downloads today's snapshot and then runs the upgrade but then this comes up on screen and it reboots and tries the upgrade kernel again until I tell it to boot /bsd
Things are going on in OpenBSD dev land and I can't see anything in the mailing lists ? Also what the fsck is an ai.log ????

OMG ! I just cannot doas sysupgrade -s past #473 which is dated 13th May. If I try it just refuses to boot /bsd using the bsd.mp`
I have to rollback to #473 - 13th May to get a bootable system using my Dell Optiplex 3080 tower with 32Gb ram a 1Tb nvme and an i5-10505

#OpenBSD

I'm actually convinced that my issue of not being able to doas sysupgrade -s past #473 is an issue with either the upgrade script or the bsd.mp kernel. I mean if it was a configuration issue explain to me how I can successfully rollback to 473 dated 14th May or even further back and the mp kernel boots perfectly. No partitions are anywhere near full. Yet if I upgrade the mp kernel will not boot just giving an error 255 unknown.
So in my eyes this is an #OpenBSD current issue because if it was mine then rolling back wouldn't work either ???

Still trying to debug my #OpenBSD desktop as to why I can run any snapshot from the 13th May and before but not progress to today's date or after #473 ?? boot just fails at 255 error unknown.
Bugs have been submitted and i'll wait and see before thinking about a reinstall.
In the meantime I'm on my ThinkPad p14s Gen 1 which I was waiting for OpenBSD 7.9 to install on it but for now I upgraded #FreeBSD and everything works. Not bad considering I've not touched this laptop for a month or so. Is it a sign ??? 💪
