14.2 to 14.3 upgrade on AMD Ryzen 7 5700G video driver issue

Just a heads up for anyone running with the subject CPU - my system was running fine prior to the upgrade but the amdgpu kmod failed to load after.

It was running with drm-510-kmod and gpu-firmware-amd-kmod-green-sardine.

Removing drm-510-kmod and installing drm-515-kmod resolved the issue. I don't recall seeing any traffic on the change but it would have been easy to miss I guess.

Note that using drm-kmod as per the handbook does not work as it brings in drm-61-kmod which doesn't appear to be compatible.
 
Perhaps not the same issue.
But on my end intel driver could not be load due drm module issue.

KLD drm.ko: depends on dmabuf - not available or version mismatch
linker_load_file: /boot/modules/drm.ko - unsupported file type
KLD i915kms.ko: depends on drmn - not available or version mismatch
KLD drm.ko: depends on dmabuf - not available or version mismatch


I dont use any custom kernel, the system is being upgraded with
freebsd-update
and
pkg


freebsd-version -kru
14.2-RELEASE-p1
14.2-RELEASE-p1
14.2-RELEASE-p3



PS: I reverted back to 14.2
 
You should have deleted the drm-xxx-kmod and then reinstalled it. This way, the kernel modules would have been in sync with the running kernel thanks to the kmods repository.

From: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/14.3R/relnotes/
A new FreeBSD-kmods repository is included in the default /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf pkg(8) configuration file. This repository contains kernel modules compiled specifically for 14.3-RELEASE rather than for the 14-STABLE branch. Installing kernel modules from this repository allows drivers with unstable kernel interfaces, in particular graphics drivers, to work even when the main 14-STABLE repository has packages build on a previous release.

for some reason it did not work for me.
the following snippet was added to my pkg config file

+FreeBSD-kmods: {
+ url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/kmods_latest_${VERSION_MINOR}",
+ mirror_type: "srv",
+ signature_type: "fingerprints",
+ fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
+ enabled: yes
+}



then I forced all packages to be reinstalled

pkg-static upgrade -f
 
i had to comment the main repo and leave only the kmod repo

#FreeBSD: {
# url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",
# mirror_type: "srv",
# signature_type: "fingerprints",
# fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
# enabled: yes
#}

FreeBSD-kmods: {
url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/kmods_quarterly_${VERSION_MINOR}",
mirror_type: "srv",
signature_type: "fingerprints",
fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
enabled: yes
}


otherwise the pkg manager is confused and doesnt know from where to pull the required package.

I am not sure if I do in the right way but that looks messy.

The complete commenting out of the FreeBSD repository is not ideal, same holds for toggling it yes->no->yes when trying to upgrade.

A standard/usual way to install a suited drm package for your graphics, matched for minor-specific 14.x release versions , is to use pkg install drm-kmod. For 14.2-RELEASE and 14.3-RELEASE that results in the installation of graphics/drm-61-kmod (and appropriate other dependent packages) because graphics/drm-kmod is a meta package. Your graphics hardware is fairly new, so the default seems appropriate, unless you has some specific reason to want drm-515-kmod.

Currently there are some problems with pkg with upgrading when multiple repositories are enabled (more info: PR 285197 - thread with PR 283755). I have found using a two step upgrade process works correctly in selecting and upgrading to the desired highest numbered version of packages:
pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD
pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-kmods

If desired, you can define appropriate alias(es).
