Call for Testing: 12.0-CURRENT amd64 memstick installer boot-testing wanted
Hi, Could folks please help boot-test the most recent 12.0-CURRENT amd64 memstick images on various hardware? Note, this is not a request to install 12.0-CURRENT, only a boot-test with various system knobs tweaked. The most recent images are available at: https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/snapshots/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/12.0/FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-amd64-20180529-r334337-mini-memstick.img https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/snapshots/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/12.0/FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-amd64-20180529-r334337-memstick.img We are interested in testing both UEFI and CSM/BIOS/legacy mode, as we would like to get this included in the upcoming 11.2-RELEASE if the change that had been committed addresses several boot issues reported recently. Please help test, and report back (both successes and failures). Thanks, Glen -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hi. Booted as expected on ThinkPad T420. Fixed with descrete (nvidia) GPU, CPU internal GPU is disabled. Both UEFI and Legacy (CSM) boot are enabled. UEFI first : Boot on UEFI mode. [Confirmed efifb is used.] Legecy first: Boot on CSM mode. [Confirmed vt(vga) is used.] UEFI boot is much faster than legacy (CSM) boot. Is firmware version needed?

With FreeBSD 11.1 the latter system needed a freshly written USB stick to be treated with "gpart recover da0 && gpart set -a active da0" before it would boot, so this is certainly an improvement.

Both images booted to the beastie menu but hung loading the kernel.? The only way I could get it to boot was to manually load the kernel at the loader prompt and boot. I was also unsuccessful performing a network install due to what I think was the download filesystem being read only.? I was able to install from the bundled distribution. Ian --
