I just tried to upgrade to 11.2-RELEASE and it did not go well.
I ran
On reboot I got a load of data error messages, too fast to read, just before the grub boot screen. I tried booting to single user, but got a console with /bin/sh and a read-only mount.
I've also tried booting multiuser but I just get a white blob (I use KDE, nVidia drivers for a GeForce card).
A few other details:
I'm using a ZFS mirror. zpool status says the 2 disks are clean, and zpool scrub found no errors. I haven't done a zpool upgrade.
The PC is triple boot, Windows 10 Fedora 24 (each with a disk each) and FreeBSD, chain booting from Fedora grub. Windows and Linux are still OK.
/boot/loader.conf contains
I tried the solution mentioned here
https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/...ls-to-boot-11-2-kernel-no-vb-no-nvidia.66538/
namely setting /boot/loader.conf:
dmesg comntains some ACPI warnings and errors but not much else.
Any suggestions as to what to try next?
I ran
freebsd-update -r 11.2-RELEASE upgrade
, then init 1
and then freebsd-update install
. All seemed to go well, and I got the message saying to reboot and run freebsd-update install
again to complete the process.On reboot I got a load of data error messages, too fast to read, just before the grub boot screen. I tried booting to single user, but got a console with /bin/sh and a read-only mount.
freebsd-version
says that I'm on 11.2-RELEASE-p4 kernel and 11.1-RELEASE-p15 userland. I remounted read-write and ran 'freebsd-update install' and it ran OK, and I now have 11.2-RELEASE-p4 for both but still booting to read-only console.I've also tried booting multiuser but I just get a white blob (I use KDE, nVidia drivers for a GeForce card).
