--- Comment #21 from Mark Millard <marklmi26-f...@yahoo.com> --- (In reply to Kenneth Salerno from comment #20) In the likes of: QUOTE Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf /boot/kernel/kernel data=0xecf0f0+0x3ff050 syms=[0x8+0x13ff98+0x8+0x13f7f4] /boot/entropy size=0x1000 /boot/kernel/geom_label.ko text=0x8450 data=0x14f8+0x8 syms=[0x8+0x1260+0x8+0x1] can't find 'if_em' can't find 'virtio' can't find 'if_vtnet' can't find 'virtio_pci' can't find 'virtio_blk' Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt. Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel] in 9 seconds... Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help. OK boot kernel.test5 END QUOTE I do not see evidence of an explicit unloading the prior kernel before loading the new one. As I remember, on the old PowerMac G5 I explicitly unload before booting a different kernel, having observed odd behavior otherwise. (Not that I remember the oddities any more. The unload is now habit. And the behavior could be different now if I did not unload first.) It does look like you are rebuilding and installing the loader (based on the date, not the "Revision 0.1" that all 3 examples report), for example: FreeBSD/powerpc64 Open Firmware loader, Revision 0.1 (r...@freebsd-amd64.kpsalerno.us.ibm.com, Mon Nov 7 18:55:07 EST 2016) vs. FreeBSD/powerpc64 Open Firmware loader, Revision 0.1 (Wed Feb 28 10:41:12 EST 2018 r...@freebsd-amd64.kpsalerno.us.ibm.com) So I probably misinterpreted Comment #15 (where you did not mention installkernel , buildworld , or installworld or such). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
