my 12.1-RC1 doesn't boot after freebsd-update -r upgrade from 12.0-RELEASE

First of all, hi!


this is my first post, even that I've being using FreeBSD for three years now, sorry I'm digitaly shy.

Let's go, from a working state of 12.0-RELEASE-p10, then I upgrade by handbook's procedure:

# beadm create 12-R-2019.10.14
# beadm activate 12-R-2019.10.14
# reboot
# freebsd-update upgrade -r 12.1-RC1
# freebsd-update install
#### after reboot ####
# freebsd-update install
# reboot


when finished, no errors seen, I reboot as suggested and a just after screen message "Loading kernel modules:" then black screen and reboot.
7012


After this, from the boot menu, I change to the previous boot environment and start 12.0 again.

Crash logs shows:

It's quite large and I'm not sure if it's needed

One more thing, a single user boot on the 12.1 environment leaves me on the shell with no errors.

Greetings,
Rodrigo

Something else, as suggested in other post:
/etc/freebsd-update.conf
has:
Code:
# Components of the base system which should be kept updated.
Components src world kernel
 
Hi again,

same with 12.1-RC2.
This laptop was installed with 12.0 and update should work seamlessly, may it be that something is broken on my system?
 
If you are loading one of the KMS graphics drivers in either /boot/loader.conf or /etc/rc.conf I would temporarily comment out that line and try booting it again. Those drivers need to be compiled against the same kernel version that you're running and it may be these that's crashing the system. Especially considering the last line that you see on the screen.

If that allows it to boot then you can recompile that driver from the ports.
 
That's it! removal of KMS driver load from rc.conf allows to boot.

Seems that I'll have to recompile those modules.

Thank you.
 
I think this is going to catch out a lot of people. I'm waiting until 12.1 is actually released before I bother upgrading my laptop, but when I did the 11.x to 12.0 upgrade I knew this would be a potential problem and commented that out before I did the upgrade.

A lot of people are not going to think about that.
 
RodrigoC I had same problem. You need to boot in single user mode and find which module caused the problem in loading . If found, stop that from loading and reboot. If not found, check for the modules loaded at that point for your earlier 12.0- RELEASE-p10 & try to find the same.
 
For what it's worth I upgraded my laptop today from 12.0-RELEASE-p11 to 12.1-RC2 and completely forgot about my own advice and rebooted it with all the kernel drivers still being loaded. It actually booted fine straight into X without any issues at all. I've recompiled the drm driver anyway though.

I assume that 12.1 will stil use OpenSSL. Am I correct?
If so, I'll have to move my OpenSMTPD from 11.3 jail to OpenBSD guest OS in FreeBSD's bhyve to use LibreSSL, b'cause *SMTPD doesn't play witn OpenSSL-1.1* :(
 
12.1-RC2 has OpenSSL 1.1.1d I think. 12.0-RELEASE also has 1.1.1. Sounds like upstream on that really needs to fix it as 1.1.1 is basically the only supported version now. They deprecated the other versions.

Add to /etc/make.conf:
Code:
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= ssl=libressl
And build everything from ports or build your own package repository.
