Hi there. I tried booting FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso on a system here, which didn't work, and I found that FreeBSD-12.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso did work on that same system. Another [older] system I had was working with FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso, but after I had reason to change that older system to UEFI boot mode, I found it also would not boot the 12.1 ISO any longer A successul UEFI boot of 12.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1 shows many lines of EFI information to the console, and nearing the bottom: BootOrder: 0001 0002 0003 0004[*] BootInfo Path: PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x14,0x0)/USB(0x5,0x0)/USB(0x2,0x0)/Unit(0x3)/CDROM(0x1) BootInfo Path: VenHw(<UUID>,<octal>) Ignoring Boot0004: No Media Path Trying ESP: PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x14,0x0)/USB(0x5,0x0)/USB(0x2,0x0)/Unit(0x3) Setting currdev to cd3: - And, that last line is a spinning cursor, after which becomes: Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf And continues on from there. However, the attempt to boot 12.1-RELEASE never loads the loader and allows it to boot. The console output for 12.1-RELEASE is below. Can anyone help me figure out if it's something I need to do? How has 12.1 changed w.r.t. 12.0 for UEFI? The 12.1-RELEASE shows the same as above until starting with "Trying ESP": Trying ESP: PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x14,0x0)/USB(0x5,0x0)/USB(0x2,0x0)/Unit(0x3)/CDROM(0x1) Setting currdev to cd4: Trying: PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x14,0x0)/USB(0x5,0x0)/USB(0x2,0x0)/Unit(0x1) Setting currdev to cd0: Trying: PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x14,0x0)/USB(0x5,0x0)/USB(0x2,0x0)/Unit(0x2) Setting currdev to cd1: Trying: PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x14,0x0)/USB(0x5,0x0)/USB(0x2,0x0)/Unit(0x3) Setting currdev to cd2: Trying: PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x14,0x0)/USB(0x5,0x0)/USB(0x2,0x0)/Unit(0x3)/CDROM(0x0) Setting currdev to cd3: Trying: PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x14,0x0)/USB(0x5,0x0)/USB(0x2,0x0)/Unit(0x4) Setting currdev to cd5: Trying: PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x14,0x0)/USB(0x5,0x0)/USB(0x2,0x0)/Unit(0x5) Setting currdev to cd6: Trying: PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x14,0x0)/USB(0x5,0x0)/USB(0x2,0x0)/Unit(0x6) Setting currdev to cd7: Trying: PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x14,0x0)/USB(0x5,0x0)/USB(0x2,0x0)/Unit(0x7) Setting currdev to cd8: Failed to bind bootable partition press any key to interrupt reboot in 5 seconds Let me know why 12.1-RELEASE is not behaving the same way on my systems... Thank you. - Chris

None of the October (12.1) install images will produce a bootable install. So I'm stuck on RELENG-12. This is on a Core 13 second gen. IOW my problem is the inverse of yours. --Chris

A stable/12 ISO that I built fails in the same way the 12.1-RELEASE ISO did. But, I just grabbed releng/12.0, and built a release ISO, and it boots. So, something seems definately to have changed in the way the UEFI bits are on the boot ISOs? Or maybe a change in the loader? Is okay in releng/12.0, but broken in 12.1-RELEASE and stable/12. Let me know what to try next. - Chris
