      Hi all,

      Just updated by MiniPC ( https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-Braswell-mini-pc-M150S-with-2G-ram-8G-SSD-celeron-N3150-Dual-H-D-M/32533935685.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.262f4c4dPKAUMo ) from 2.4.3 to 2.4.4 and now the console fails to boot. The Web GUI does however work just fine.

      alt text

      TIA

      Greg

          I too added those extra lines to /boot/loader.conf.local and got the same result as you. ie: A few extra lines but not a complete console boot.

            Hi,

            So you used an library file for your Ralteck NIC's that replaces the build-in Realteck support : /boot/kernel.if_re.ko (see other threads you used to install this driver).
            This driver file was compiled for FreeBSD 11.1, and now the system is booting FreeBSD 11.2 ....

            Several things can happen :
            From : The new kernel rejects the driver library ...
            Up until : system falls flat dead ...

            Remove the institutions that make this driver load (edit /boot/loader.conf.local) and you'll be fine.

            edit : the issue has been covered : https://www.netgate.com/docs/pfsense/install/upgrade-guide.html#upgrading-from-versions-older-than-pfsense-2-4-4 ☺

            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum.

              The file was recompiled again using 11.2 and is loading correctly as can be seen by kldstat:

              Id Refs Address            Size     Name
               1   10 0xffffffff80200000 2d9a7d0  kernel
               2    1 0xffffffff82f9b000 80f18    if_re.ko
               3    1 0xffffffff83211000 10a0     cpuctl.ko
               4    1 0xffffffff83213000 72b8     aesni.ko
               5    1 0xffffffff8321b000 c80      coretemp.ko
              
              

              Hence I do not think this is the issue.

                Not this :

                i915kms_load="YES"
                drm.i915.enable_unsupported=1
                

                ?

                  Sorry, I do not understand what you are saying.

                  My /boot/loader.conf.local only contains:

                  kern.cam.boot_delay=10000
                  if_re_load="YES"
                  

                  Also if_re.ko has been compiled using 11.2.

                    Experiencing the same issue here on a mini PC - possibly the same one.

                      Added the following to my /boot/loader.conf.local and the console now boots up correctly.

                      kern.vty=sc
                      

                      Edit: Before adding the above I noted the following in dmesg:

                      VT: init without driver
