My ISP gave me an interesting scare a couple of minutes ago. As you know if you do not want to pay them for a permanent IPv4 address, which I consider obsolete networking, they remotely reboot your gateway device and assign it a random IP out of one of their IPv4 pools.

This time it didn't take the usual long 30 to 90 Seconds to reboot the device and transfer credentials to obtain the new IP.
The Gateway got in an infinite loop somewhere and I had to Power it off, then had to wait 90 seconds to power cycle it before it took 180 seconds for the device to finally get the new IP.

Someone screwed up the login sequences for the xDSL devices of which the hashtag is in the toot and now we as the paying customer again have to pay for it in wasted time.

Luckily this power cycling off xDSL devices occurs only once in 6 weeks and usually I do not use the internet at that point in time.

In case you are wondering my Gateway uses obsolete technology, is forcibly assigned by the ISP and it's also cursed with a extremely low transfer speed.

I just included a speedtest after first draft of this toot

As you can see the speeds here are so low the connection is virtually unusable for anything where you have to move a big bites of data. They still manage to extort more than USD 30 a month for this connection

The screencap displays the results of an internet speed test conducted using the OpenSpeedTest site. The background is dark, with the OpenSpeedTest logo prominently featured at the top. Below the logo, the text "INTERNET SPEED TEST RESULT" is displayed in white. The results are presented in three distinct sections, each with a black background and white text. The first section, labeled "DOWNLOAD," shows a speed of 11.22 Mbps with a downward arrow icon. The second section, labeled "PING," indicates a value of 105.0 with a circular arrow icon and a jitter of 105.00 Ms. The third section, labeled "UPLOAD," shows a speed of 6.52 Mbps with an upward arrow icon. The overall layout is clean and organized, with a blue line separating the sections.

mouse and keyboard are created as children of a phantom node:

children
node 0xfe0600c8
children
node 0xfe060620
name mouse
device_type mouse
reg [0, 0, 0, 1]
status okay
interrupts [12, 0, 0, 0]
#buttons [0, 0, 0, 3]
node 0xfe0604f0
name kbd
device_type keyboard
reg [0, 0, 0, 0]
status okay
interrupts [1, 0, 0, 0]
language [69, 78, 0]

which then gets its attributes pointer assigned later:

node 0xfe0600c8
name fdc
device_type [98, 108, 111, 99, 107, 0, 0]
#address-cells [0, 0, 0, 1]
status okay
reg [0, 0, 3, 240, 0, 0, 0, 2]
interrupts [0, 0, 0, 6]
children
node 0xfe060620
name mouse
device_type mouse

my hypothesis seeing this is that a procedure for creating the 8042 tree node failed and the node was freed, but the current node pointer was left at that position. kbd and mouse were meant to be created as children of that node. once the node was re-allocated as fdc, the children came with it.

ok new strategy for finding the last wrong bits of solaris boot. for every memory access in reverse order, i'm dumping the ofw tree along with the pc address where it was modified.

Hoping to see _exactly_ where it gets messed up.
