For me I set the syscons hint to 0x1f0 (1366x768)
If /boot/device.hints syscons flags are kept to default, kernel will boot, perhaps screen resolution conflict? >How-To-Repeat: Use a BMP splash to 1024*768 256 colors. # /boot/loader.conf : splash_bmp_load="YES" bitmap_load="YES" bitmap_name="/boot/splash.bmp" # /boot/device.hints hint.sc.0.flags="0x180" hint.sc.0.vesa_mode="0x1f0" => Won't boot >Fix: Don't know, this is a very complicated issue to fix I guess and user should probably use allscreen_flags in rc.conf instead. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
