Hi! I neglected automated testing of the ISO images for some months now, focusing to actually extend my setup quite a lot. When I now started to clean up my expect script to install a fresh SIMH VM, I noticed that it ran into a timeout during boot while waiting for SSH keys being created on the first start. (I'm used to use a readily prepared disk images with writeable overlays as easily spawnable throw-away instances.) Booting the disk/VM manually to finalize the SSH hostkey setup, it seems to be hanging again after: Clearing temporary files. Checking quotas: done. Setting securelevel: kern.securelevel: 0 -> 1 swapctl: setting dump device to /dev/ra0b Starting virecover. Checking for core dump... savecore: no core dump Starting local daemons:. Updating motd. Starting ntpd. I cannot remember seeing instability when running under SIMH in the time before... Config is like this: SHOW VERSION SET CPU 512m SET CPU SIMHALT SET CPU idle=netbsd SET RQ0 FORMAT=VHD SET RQ0 rauser ATTACH RQ0 disk.vhd SET XQ mac=08-00-2b-72-b0-43 ATTACH XQ tap:t_08002b72b043 ATTACH nvr nvram.bin DEP BDR 0 SHOW CONFIG BOOT CPU EXIT SIMH didn't see many commits recently (and those seem to be really out of reach for hanging a simulated VAX), so I guess something in NetBSD broke. Has anybody experienced the same thing for current? Unfortunately, having thrown away older build artifacts and logs, I cannot easily deduce a "good" point in recent history. So I'd probably just bisect through the last six to nine months or the like. (The current effort to revive fresh SIMH VMs being installed is due to my effort to look at the ~ 30 open port-vax tickets, trying to get as many as possible solved, analyzed, or closed due to being outdated by now.)
