I'm building a new server with an ASUS Prime B560-Plus motherboard and an Intel i5-11600K CPU (11th generation). My understanding is that 13.1 should be able to boot such a server.
Indeed, I already have 2 existing servers, one with the same motherboard but a different CPU, an Intel i7-10700K (10th generation), and the second with a different motherboard, a Gigabyte B560M-DS3H but the same 11th generation CPU. Both are running fine under 13.1-RC5.
However, I can't get the new server to boot with the 13.1-RC5 memstick, although the memstick will boot the two existing servers! I've been through the BIOS on the ASUS countless times, but there are many settings I don't understand! The symptoms are as follows: it gets to the BSD boot options screen and after that starts to boot, but then the screen goes blank, a solid cursor appears in the upper left hand corner, and it hangs. I have the feeling something is happening, because the LED on the memstick flashes for a while and eventually a mouse cursor appears, but one never sees the FreeBSD configuration screen.
Anyone see this before? Is there any way to debug? Thanks in advance.
