Console fails to boot after 2.4.4 upgrade
-
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.
TIA
Greg

I'm having the same issue here, and have the same Intel N3150 Processor/GFX

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

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

Yep, same here.
