Hi Manfred,
Are you using drm-kmod?
If so, I think you might be bitten by the text console getting disabled
when drm-kmod from packages (built on 14.1) running on 14.2. This
results in the text console freezing after drm-kmod is loaded which
matches your symptoms.
Possible fixes:
1. build drm-kmod from ports:
* cd /usr/ports/graphics/drm-kmod/ && make install clean
(or whatever version you are using e.g. drm-61-kmod)
2. install package from release_2 pkg repo
* configure the repo (my config as an example:
# cat /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD_release_2.conf
FreeBSD_release_2: {
url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/release_2";,
mirror_type: "srv",
signature_type: "fingerprints",
fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
enabled: yes,
priority: 100
}
* install the package as root
pkg install -fr FreeBSD_release_2 drm-kmod
For context, see https://www.freebsd.org/releases/14.2R/errata/
|"drm-kmod| packages compiled on FreeBSD 14.1 result in the text console
being inoperative when the kernel module is loaded. Recompiling the
package from the ports tree will restore the lost functionality. This
issue will also resolve itself after the FreeBSD 14.1 EoL, when packages
for 14-STABLE will start being built on FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE."
Let us know if this does not help
Best,
M.

Hi,
today I upgraded from 14.1-RELEASE TO 14.2-RELEASE .
I run Xorg and xdm. Since the upgrade to 14.2-RELEASE all the
nice shutdown messages and boot messages about which service
was started, are gone.
Please can somebody help
