      Hi, after upgrading from 2.7.2 the kernel panics on boot. Booting with kernel.old works.

      Similar to this issue.

      Problem is the iwm0 device (Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 3165). iwm7265Dfw: could not load firmware image, error 6.

      BIOS	Vendor: American Megatrends Inc.
Version: F23
Release Date: Wed Aug 8 2018
Boot Method: BIOS

      AMD Ryzen 5 2400G with Radeon Vega Graphics
      MB (mITX): GIGABYTE GA-AB350N-Gaming WIFI

      As stated in the linked thread set hint.iwm.0.disabled="1" allows to boot.

      The system had no issues booting in version 2.7.2.

      FYI mainly. What is the best way to work around this and to make disabling the device persistent for booting and upgrades in the future?

      Edit: I saw that I am not the only one with this issue. I added the hint hint.iwm.0.disabled="1" to /boot/loader.conf.local and now it boots without issues.
