Re: 9.1 unusable on cobalt qube 2

Hi,

I have tried current and it is a little better.

After booting into the new kernel i managed to successfully extract
all the sets, located on an nfs share. It did stop working in
postinstalls catpages check.

I still cant extract pkgsrc either from the local disk or on nfs. the
nfs based file gets a lot further but still not out of pkgsrc/x11.

I get a few extra messages on boot now (entropy issues and a viaide
error), but still nothing on the serial console when it locks up.

I will try a different disk and see if that helps.

I haven’t powered it on recently for various reasons (I was tinkering with it back in February / March, but as various pandemic lockdown measures dragged on, I had to make some major adjustments to my home office), but I will try yo.make a point of doing so again this week to see if there’s anything glaring in the tree now.
