Following the advice of drm-kmod pkg leads to unbootable system

Alain De Vos · Jul 3, 2021

I think the drm port installs in /boot/modules and not in /boot/kernel. (I'm not sure)

You are correct there... the port indeed installs to /boot/modules. After install, looking for the same files in /boot/kernel will come up empty.

Yet in /boot/kernel i have:
radeon.ko and drm.ko
These can only come from compiling the kernel I think.
Because normally i delete /boot/kernel before make installkernel.

Alain De Vos · Jul 3, 2021

I think radeon needs the following options in the kernel.
COMPAT_FREEBSD32 # Compatible with i386 binaries
COMPAT_FREEBSD11 # Compatible with FreeBSD11
COMPAT_FREEBSD12 # Compatible with FreeBSD12

Even with that, I fail to see how something that is clearly part of graphics/drm-kmod would be included in FreeBSD's kernel sources (src.txz). These options, best I understand, will allow binary compatibility between the kernel and radeonkms.ko, but they will not pull the radeonkms.ko file in - that is done by the drm-kmod port. My theory on this is that

graphics/drm-kmod is installed, pulling in radeonkms.ko, which initially gets installed to /boot/modules/ directory.
Apparently enabling compatibility in the kernel's makefile (as described by Alain De Vos ) means checking the /boot/modules/ directory for compatible modules.
When compiling the kernel (after steps 1 and 2 are done): If a module is indeed compatible, it gets copied over to /boot/kernel/ directory, because it's safe to do that (no memory leaks or other illegal address pointers).

Looks like a kernel dev may need to weigh in and confirm or deny my theory.

Code:

% uname -KrU

% pkg provides radeonkms.ko

In my case, the module is installed when I make installkernel …

Code:

% pkg query '%o %v %R' drm-devel-kmod

They're not present for me.

Does a sorted view offer a clue?

ls -hlrt /boot/kernel/

Like I said... I only compiled the installed src.txz that was available to me. No ports or packages even bootstrapped. I'm flabbergasted how people miss that, it's a key point.

After a test i confirm radeon is an integer part of the 13 kernel .

I can't see how; <https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/search?q=radeonkms>

Yeah, based on that, I see that radeonkms.ko is actually blacklisted in /boot/loader.conf, as well as amdgpu.ko. But neither is present in freebsd-src (the stuff that gets packaged into src.txz that I install and compile before any packages and ports are present on the system). Besides,

With sizes like that, small wonder they're available only as a separate port (graphics/drm-kmod).

Yeah, that's just tools to handle imported firmwares, accoding to the README. This does mean that the firmwares have to be imported first, as in, installed via graphics/drm-kmod. And that, as we know, installs to /boot/modules/ directory. If you don't install graphics/drm-kmod (I did not), those tools have no firmwares to work with, so nothing will get copied to /boot/kernel/ directory.

But the files on my computer must come from somewhere.
Maybe you compiled WITHOUT_MODULES ?

Dunno, I did not mess with the makefile at all... just ran # make buildkernel in /usr/src/. I did not install any packages or even the ports tree, just compiled the kernel BEFORE doing anything on a cleanly installed system. I think you can find the default makefile in FreeBSD's github repo. Your files clearly came from graphics/drm-kmod... FWIW, I did get the zfs.ko module in my compilation, so it looks like the WITHOUT_MODULES option is not turned on by default.

Alain De Vos · Jul 4, 2021

I modified every file, including kernel conf, make conf , src conf etc ... Maybe it's that somewhere.

Makes me think that you first modified make.conf, compiled a few ports, including graphics/drm-kmod, and afterwards, compiled the kernel.

Try compiling the kernel with full, complete knowledge that you did not install graphics/drm-kmod.
To verify anything, eliminate uncertainties as much as possible. That is an ironclad rule among engineers.

Please, did you try?

Good thing I keep a sort of a 'Diary' of what I did under FreeBSD. Complete with action dates, package names, versions, timestamps, hashes, and the order in which I did it. That was a suggestion I picked up way back in 2002 for messing with Linux, but it still helps for working with FreeBSD. With that background, I took a look at my notes.

Turns out that when you compile graphics/drm-kmod, the port will offer you to install kernel module sources. Being in the habit of turning on as many options as I can, I would say yes to that. It looks like Alain De Vos said yes to that same option, and afterwards, compiled the kernel. This is how he ended up with those graphics drivers in /boot/kernel/ directory.

The order in which you do stuff on FreeBSD matters to a bigger extent than many realize. It is a headache to do my planning with that in mind, but that's the secret sauce I use.

Alain De Vos · Jul 4, 2021

Freshports,
Configuration Options:
No options to configure
Options name:
graphics_drm-kmod

astyle · Jul 4, 2021

OK, I guess i will need to post a walk-through:

Yes, as per freshports.org, there will be 'No options to configure'. But wait - this port will pull in a dependency: graphics/drm-fbsd13-kmod. This is where you get the option to install kernel modules, as shown in next screenshot.
If you say yes to installing kernel module sources, then the graphics drivers will be added to /usr/src/, which is where kernel sources are supposed to live. If you don't say yes to the SOURCES option, then the graphics drivers will not be added. Alain De Vos said yes there, which is why he ended up with sources for graphics drivers in /usr/src/, they got detected by Make and compiled, and thus deposited into /boot/kernel/ directory.

Surprising what paying attention to the process and connecting the dots will uncover. Less crapshoot troubleshooting in random places.

Oh, and BTW - all this was done AFTER I compiled my kernel.

My make.conf explains,

Code:

OPTIONS_SET+=SOURCE
OPTIONS_SET+=SOURCE_HIGHLIGHT
OPTIONS_SET+=SOURCES

Who would have thought ...

After a tour of the other BSDs on the machine in question with very mixed results, I changed my mind and decided to revisit this. I've found a workaround that seems to be reliable. I have no idea why it works, but so far, so good (perhaps like the old joke about the guy passing the 50th floor after jumping off the Empire State Building).

Using kld_list in /etc/rc.conf does not work. If you attempt to load radeonkms there, the system will crash when booting. The suggestion (by one of the contributors to this thread) to use "drm" instead of "radeonkms" in kld_list also does not work in my case. The system does not crash, but you get VGA resolution when X is started.

Prior to starting X, logging in as root and doing 'kldload radeonkms' seems to work reliably. I can then log in as myself, startx, and the resolution is correct. So I arranged
for sudo to allow me to do this command without a password and tried adding 'sudo /sbin/kldload radeonkms' to my .xinitrc at the very beginning. This crashes the system after 'startx'. But, if I issue the kldload prior to startx and then do the startx (with the kldload command removed from .xinitrc), it seems to work, though I have very few samples at this point. So there seems to be some sort of timing dependency here.

As I observed earlier, this is really a mess. The documentation is inaccurate and getting the kernel module loaded seems to be fragile. I will try to compose a bug report about this.

Other than this problem, the system seems to work well on this machine, though again, I don't have a lot of data yet.
