I just recently installed libreboot on my Lenovo ThinkPad T480 with the hope I could run FreeBSD on it, but unfortunately the installer doesn't work for me.
The last things I see while booting are 'can't find /etc/hostid' and 'can't find /boot/entropy', but to my understanding these are just warnings that aren't the cause of this.
Those messages stay on screen but nothing more happens afterwards, even after 20 minutes of waiting.
I tried using both video and serial mode and both had the same issue.
Disabling ACPI shows the messages I listed then instantly reboots the system.
I'm booting using seabios (which is legacy boot) as when using the grub payload I never get to the first menu that appears.
Using bootonly, disc1, and memstick all have these exact same problems.
Specific details about my libreboot:
It has the seabios and grub payloads
It's using libgfxinit for graphics init
It's using corebootfb over txtmode
I used me_cleaner and deguard on it
I did their recommended tweak of changing the mac address of the IFD
Laptop relevant specs:
CPU: i5-8350U
GPU: UHD Graphics 620
I will note that I have no problem booting Linux, (I can even play games that use OpenGL or Vulkan) so I don't believe it's a GPU issue
