Kernel panic on HEAD (93cf4310 2025-03-28)

2025-03-29 Thread Steven Harms (High-Security Mail)
Hey folks, I tried building current from source and when I boot, I get a panic after the final Autoloading module (pchtherm, in my case) loads. Comparing to the stable 14.2 kernel, the next step is for "Setting up harvesting," "Feeding entropy," and starting wpa_supplicant. To be clear, this c

Well, Warner and Manu, it's been quite an education I've gotten myself into! If anything, it confirms that my sense of C isn't as bad as I thought it was and I was indeed looking at a ball of knots. I'll tried Warner/Manus's suggestion re: boot_mute="YES" and a specified splash="" value does not w

Confused by boot_mute documentation, terminal systems, and goals

2025-03-21 Thread Steven Harms (High-Security Mail)
Folks, I am attempting to figure out what boot_mute wants me to do. I'm trying to make a "laptop guide" and I'm confused. I'm not a C programmer at this scale of sophistication so there's a decent chance I'm foolishly making an error, but current is not doing what I expect. - boot_mute doesn't

Inaccuracies in 15.0-CURRENT documentation versus wayland+sway in practice

2025-03-04 Thread Steven Harms (High-Security Mail)
Folks, The docs say: All compositors using Wayland will need a runtime directory defined in the environment. Since FreeBSD 14.1, this is created and defined automatically. For previous versions, this is achieved with the following command in the bourne shell: % export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/var/run

Folks, I built a GENERIC kernel "hot off the presses" as of the commits cited above. I am surprised that I'm still getting error messages in dmesg​ about: - Firmware errors - i915/skl_dmc_ver1_27.bin: could not load binary firmware /boot/firmware/i915/skl_dmc_ver1_27.bin either (repeats) - drm

Quieter startup + working experience by overriding VT_CONSWINDOW (and consequences)

2025-02-18 Thread Steven Harms (High-Security Mail)
Greetings, As per previous thread, I am still interested in a quieter fbsd experience: ideally no kernel / rc output on startup and no console messages on default TTY after login. As I was trying to see if I could extend boot_mute, I came across another approach: - set the default console to

Adjustments to userland for a quieter startup (RC system)

2025-02-01 Thread Steven Harms (High-Security Mail)
Greetings, I have created https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/pull/1582 in an effort to quiet down some of the chattiness of module linking and network diagnostics on startup. I'm used to working in a git-based workflow and saw no action on the PR, so I thought I would notify here. If that's
