[email protected] <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #23 from [email protected] <[email protected]> --- Something very similar is happening to me trying to UEFI boot the FreeBSD-14.3-RELEASE-amd64 installer off a USB stick on my new Dell laptop. The laptop has an NVMe SSD and I wonder if NVMe is the common thread between the reporter's problem and mine. What happens to me is this: (1) I boot the laptop with the FreeBSD USB stick attached, and press F12 for the boot menu. (2) I select the USB stick from the UEFI boot menu. (3) The FreeBSD boot screen is displayed. I tried both "Boot Installer" and "Boot Single user" and get the same result... (4) The boot proceeds until it shows "pci6: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib8" and then it hangs. I've left it for 10 minutes and it did not continue, so I doubt it ever will. The keyboard is not responsive. I do not see any errors in the boot messages, unlike the reporter. --- I checked the installer's /boot/loader.conf and the associated .conf files and did not find any that contain ig4_load="YES", in fact there is no appearance of the string "ig4" in any of the files. Here is my /boot/loader.conf: vfs.mountroot.timeout="10" kernels_autodetect="NO" loader_menu_multi_user_prompt="Installer" I have not altered it - this is what came with the installer. /boot/defaults/loader.conf contains much more, but again, it all comes with the installer - I did not change any of it. Other notes: - Secure boot is disabled. - TPM 2.0 Security is OFF. - In the BIOS, "SATA/NVMe Operation" is set to "AHCI/NVMe". The only other option is "Disabled", which is not selected. - I am able to boot Ubuntu from another USB stick. - I did try commenting out vfs.mountroot.timeout="10". Same result: hangs after showing "pci6". --- I welcome any suggestions on how to gather more information from my system as it boots. I'm stumped. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
