Well, here is the scary part. I booted the machine single user and made the root writable. I then copied the source code versions of rc and rc.subr to a freebsd memstick, inserted the memstick into the single user machine that wouldn't boot...

Works fine now! I'm on 15.1 and haven't tried adb/fastboot for a while; fastboot erase/flash both A/B slots worked fine from root, and adb sideload sideloaded as root too. '/usr/local/bin/fastboot' erase --slot='all' 'boot'...

freebsd-update won't overwrite the active kernel. The active kerne, if it is named kernel, will be renamed in kernel.old: /usr/sbin/freebsd-update 620 config_BackupKernelDir /boot/kernel.old You can rename your renamed custom kernel...

I had this working previously but wanted to make some changes, but unfortunately I get:- It looks like drm-kmod is taking up a lot of space. I have:- MFSROOT_MAXSIZE=4096M

Neither are present in /etc/rc.subr.

I have my own dedicated server and have long been avoiding jails, mostly due to not fully understanding their benefits. Things have changed recently - one of my websites is showing an incredible growth rate - that has me thinking more about...

It is essentially what I followed,except that I updated the packages right after the etcupdate -B and not after the final reboot. Don't know if that matters.

Isn't that what the "any key" is for? Temporary permissions make me rather uncomfortable as they tend to become permanent permissions if not set up correctly. It's just wishful thinking in my view. Perhaps if I look into it more thoroughly it's...

Never mind. Fixed it. . . . . 😁 (From the other thread about that line.) About 4PM yesterday, our ISP went down. I don't know what happened but their estimated repair time (always a joke) was 8:30PM. Then 2:30AM. The only thing I know for sure...

Yeah, there was a great cracked.com article years ago, when it was still good, about 5 reasons why the guy who fixes your computer hates you. He talks about that scenario, an hour of web searching, finally you find someone with the exact same...

Followed some minutes later by postings from the same person berating the other users for not immediately jumping on it, or, "no longer needed, I just fixed it".

My personal favorite thread title is the old all time classic: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also known in its variants NEED URGENT HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or HELP, please!!

I have always run pkg install drm-kmod because that is what I thought I needed to do. I never understood why I received so many files, but since things worked I didn't pursue things.

"What happens next will surprise you" :rolleyes:

Modern equipment doesn't live very long. Occurs to me that it is made to last 10 years at best. That's why I stick to old stuff. Still sounds okay and you can still repair it. Just don't count the labour hours, I replaced hundreds of capacitors...

...and the idea someone would think stripping down a car engine or gearbox comparable tells us all we need to know. But seriously, you're quite right. If car manufacturers could program their engine controllers to detect test conditions and run...

Sure, a good tube amp is worth to be repaired. No question. And not only. I also always try to repair my stuff myself first before I dump any of it: vacuum cleaners, earphones, ventilation,... even my stove (I graduated in mechanical engineering...

Thank you very much folks (especially for bsd-hardware.info - dind't know about this site)! Yes, it indeed seems that T14 Gen 3 is not that reliable when it comes to Wi-Fi (no native driver). In my case, stability and reliability is the primary...

Patch updates are only one freebsd-update install, a BE "snapshot" is created just before the installation of the patch is done.

There are several hardware probes to this model, it seems graphics is supported sound is "detected" (not sure it that means "working") wifi isn't fully supported: Probe #7aa93cd8ba of Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 3...

The installer issue appears to have been fixed. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=270707 There may be problems obtaining the temperature. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=280370

Which says something about the quality and information density in "the internet".

That's possible. I'm not sure about the origin of everything. It's also not a GENERIC 15 kernel. Some things are changed.I don't think it can be related but it may be a problem. System was still copying so I didn't want to reboot. I'll try a...

have() and run_rc_scripts() are both defined in /etc/rc.subr. /etc/rc loads /etc/rc.subr. So, see also in /etc/rc.subr.

You have the hardware renderer. Did you install llama and ggml from packages? Maybe this is an issue of being compiled in a context where native CPU was detected during compilation? Although Raptor Lake should not miss much except avx512.

Not sure. What does `vulkaninfo --summary` from port vulkan-tools report? Maybe you only have the Mesa software renderer?

If you run it as sh -x /etc/rc you might be able to spot where the error happens. Also, just look through the file, maybe there are still a few "merge" markers left in there. If all else fails, you can copy a /etc/rc from a working 15.0 install...

I am trying to update a box to 15.0 using source. The box has been successfully running 14.3, is fully patched, and has all filesystems zfs, with root having two M.2 memory cards as a mirror. It has rebooted flawlessly time and again. I went...

T-Daemon Thanks ! It worked, here is some notes which may become useful for others Update process: # FreeBSD 14.3 -> 14.4 freebsd-update fetch install && freebsd-update upgrade -r 14.4-RELEASE install # First Reboot shutdown -r now # post...

I don't know that answer. I used the default for my zpool (16K) for my W11 VM. NTFS uses a default block size of 4K but can go as high a 2 M. I suppose if you want better performance you should increase the block size. If you want to reduce the...

Might want to chase it, doesn't appear to have been applied yet. You probably want this MFC'ed to 15/stable too.

I submitted the patch around the New Year's. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291690

Did you report this? They're preparing for 15.1-RELEASE now, they might be able to squeeze it in before the release. Then you wouldn't have to rebuild anymore.

It doesn't have to be put all on one person. That's why there are multiple moderators.
