Re: netbsd 9 upgrade experience

Hi All,

Thanks Greg and Martin for the hints! I had to fix them manually but managed to get it done so postinstall does not complain when I let them checked.

Today when I started up the system I got in dmesg this stuff but I haven't seen that after reboot:

[ 1686,631400] kern error: [drm:(/usr/src/sys/external/bsd/drm2/dist/drm/i915/intel_sprite.c:132)intel_pipe_update_start] *ERROR* Potential atomic update failure on pipe A: -35

I don't know if it helps (if anyone has time for it at all) besides the xdm.log and Xorg.0.log sent yesterday.

Best regards,
r0ller

Back in the days when sysinst started running postinstall after updates
there were no cases when postinstall needed manual intervention. We need
to deal with this in sysinst somehow(tm).
The black xdm fields will go away once postinstall fixed "x11" properly
(it is caused by missing resource entries in the xdm config files).
