Using EDK2 (with libgfxinit framebuffer) instead of SeaBIOS with the "FreeBSD-14.3-RELEASE-amd64-mini-memstick.img" on the Dell Optiplex 5040 SFF (which boots Dell 3050 port code only a few edits to its memory init) continues to boot the FreeBSD installer fine to a ncurse looking installer. My guess is that if you want to keep using SeaBIOS you may have to alter the "libgfxinit mode" from "framebuffer" to "text" or vice versa during compile of coreboot? Will report back if I tried a SeaBIOS build of the Optiplex 5040 SFF and see if I have the same hang as you do... ---------------------------------------- Bug #615: BSD's won't boot on Dell Optiplex 3050 Micro. https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/615#change-2178 * Author: eman 777 * Status: New * Priority: High * Assignee: eman 777 * Category: os_handoff * Target version: main * Start date: 2025-11-06 * Affected versions: main * Needs backport to: main * Related links: 25.06-25.09 * Affected hardware: Dell Optiplex 3050 Micro * Affected OS: FreeBSD, DragonFlyBSD, Potentially more BSD's ---------------------------------------- hello there, i installed version version 25.06 on this computer and Linux seems to boot fine with grub but BSD seems to have issues booting, i have tried FreeBSD and DragonFlyBSD(mainly) with little hope of getting past the initial boot screens. seems to boot the loader properly but seems to freeze when loading the kernel or some module, not sure. below are the images for the error, but i also have transcripts too: <img src="clipboard-202511061312-fmbkb.png" width="300"> ``` Autoboot in 7 seconds.

CPU is the i7-7700HQ if that matters, does not really seem to be USB related as i get the same errors booting directly off SATA too, if you need any more info or anything let me know, i would absolutely love to get BSD's in general working on this setup. i also have tried this on libreboot, which has the same results for me. if there is a patch, a backport to 25.06 would be nice so that libreboot's current version can have support too. thank you! ---Files-------------------------------- clipboard-202511061312-fmbkb.png (643 KB) clipboard-202511061313-pkhn7.png (529 KB) -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
