SSD drive not detected during installation on MacBook8,1 12"

esaedro · Sep 22, 2023

I tried to install FreeBSD-14.0-BETA2-amd64-memstick on a MacBook8,1 12" Retina. I chose a beta version because keyboard and touchpad drivers for MacBook8,1 were only added in FreeBSD-14.0-ALPHA3.
Keyboard and touchpad works as expected, but I couldn't install FreeBSD because the SSD drive is not detected.
Executing the command gpart show the output only shows the USB drive I used to boot the live system.

In Loader Prompt if I execute lsdev the output shows both internal SSD drive and USB drive.

I tried set hint.ahci.0.msi=0 and then boot, but it didn't worked.

This command is for partitions, not listing the disks.

Exit to shell in installer and check the system log for any reported issues.

Thanks, here is the system log.
I see some "(no driver attached)" for pci, could this be the issue?

I know this doesn’t help directly, but I had the same issue when I tried - it is awesome the keyboard is working which I saw on another forum post here, I think that was added in ALPHA6. But unfortunately was not able to see the SSD to install to either.

Am very keen to get FreeBSD onto this machine if someone knows of a way forward.

In response to the other post talking about gpart - I couldn’t see the disk via camcontrol or nvmecontrol devlist which is how I looked for the internal ssd, and the installer says there’s no disks it can install to.

It does not enable any quirks from Linux driver but should help to attach NVME device.

I don't have the file nvme_pci.c
I have executed find / -name 'nvme_pci.c' and returned no output.
Furthermore I don't have the directory /sys
I tried patching using patch(1), but if I don't have the file nvme_pci.c I don't know what I should do.
Did I miss something? Or did I do the wrong thing?
Sorry for my ignorance

Can I rebuild the kernel directly on the installer or I need to build the kernel from an ISO and then create a bootable image with that kernel?

covacat · Sep 26, 2023

you can replace the kernel on the installer easily if you boot from an usb stick/sd card
just mount the image or stick and replace it

esaedro · Sep 26, 2023

I installed a copy of FreeBSD 13.1 on a virtual machine, then I installed source code from official git repository, I configured the kernel file to enable Broadcom support and applied the patch provided by Vladimir Kondratyev to nvme_pci.c file. Then I rebuilt the kernel and transferred the new kernel folder to an SD card (fat32 filesystem).

Eventually I booted from the FreeBSD-14-BETA2 installer and I tried to replace the whole kernel, but the operation failed because there wasn't enough space (and some symlinks were not created). So, I used gpart resize to resize the installer partition, and tried to replace the kernel again, but the same error came up.

When I rebooted the syslog showed the same errors on pci and nvme and the SSD wasn't recognized.

Then I tried to install another ISO (FreeBSD-14-BETA3). This time I only replaced the files that I have effectively changed when I rebuilt the kernel (if_bwm.ko, nvme.ko), but when I rebooted SSD wasn't recognized as before.

If there are other solutions I'd be happy to try them, otherwise I'll stick with MacOS.
In the meantime, thank you so much for all your help!

This isn't a very old thread, so I will post here, since I am facing the same problem. I have the same laptop: Macbook8,1.

I applied the patch posted a few posts above and recompiled the kernel. After booting the installer I am now able to see /dev/nvme0 device, but dmesg shows following errors:

Code:

nvme0: <Apple S1X NVMe Controller> mem 0xc1500000-0xc1501fff at device 0.0 on pci4
(...)
nvme0: CREATE_IO_CQ (05) sqid:0 cid:15 nsid:0 cdw10:00ff0001 cdw11:00010003

uhub0: <Intel XHCI root HUB, class 9/0, rev 3.00/1.00, addr 1> on usbus0
nvme0: nvme_create_io_cq failed!

Any thoughts?

purpledan · Apr 17, 2024

I get exactly the same error as grabka.

pciconf -lv shows nvme0@pci0:3:0:0: with the rest unchanged as given by esaedro.

geom disk list does not detect the nvme either.

The Macbook is a paperweight at the moment if I can't get FreeBSD working on it so I hope there is something we can do.
