    That's possible. I'm not sure about the origin of everything. It's also not a GENERIC 15 kernel. Some things are changed.I don't think it can be related but it may be a problem. System was still copying so I didn't want to reboot. I'll try a...

    have() and run_rc_scripts() are both defined in /etc/rc.subr. /etc/rc loads /etc/rc.subr. So, see also in /etc/rc.subr.

    You have the hardware renderer. Did you install llama and ggml from packages? Maybe this is an issue of being compiled in a context where native CPU was detected during compilation? Although Raptor Lake should not miss much except avx512.

    If you run it as sh -x /etc/rc you might be able to spot where the error happens. Also, just look through the file, maybe there are still a few "merge" markers left in there. If all else fails, you can copy a /etc/rc from a working 15.0 install...

    Did you report this? They're preparing for 15.1-RELEASE now, they might be able to squeeze it in before the release. Then you wouldn't have to rebuild anymore.

    Can't seem to access the build logs on beefy23 (where the packages for 15.0 latest get build). The latest build logs for 14.4 show a lot of plasma6-* components being skipped due to a build failure on qt6-webengine. That might be the same on 15.0...

    In that case it's probably a profile gone bad (e.g. corrupt cookies database). Rename your profile directory and try again.

    It's probably a good idea to post the actual error. "Cannot reach" and "unable to ping" aren't very informative. Are you getting an error resolving the domain name? Or are you getting a time-out pinging the IP address? The end result is the same...

    Your production server probably has a login.conf class defined for the postgres user and it doesn't exist on the new server. It's not something that's defined or configured when installing PostgreSQL and has been added afterwards.
