Dear readers, I found a computer which behaves oddly. Only EFI boot is supported, I usually go the MBR way. The bios looks like a classic AMibios Intel stuff. The cpu is intel and there's an intel HD5500 graphic card ( trying to extract proper dmesg fails so far )
When booting 6.8 basic amd64 installation the video signal is completely lost and network too ( suspect crash ) I tried to `set db_console 1` and change video mode with machine video before booting, and entering `boot dump` blindly ( video off ) but after rebooting in bsd.rd /var/ has no dmesg.anything or some log I think the last line of boot i see is 'softraid0' There's probably a few tricks I should try to get the actual message, I will do my best to extract the (bsd.rd) dmesg now and post it as a reply ( and try boot current ) Is there some boot option i can use or something i can do to extract the errors ? ( i do not see com ports anywhere either ) Thank you for reading. -- -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
