-------- Original Message -------- Subject: FreeBSD Sparc 11.0 RC1 Install Problem Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2016 15:07:21 +0000 From: Chris <xxx.syseng.yyy@gfsys.co.uk> Reply-To: syseng@gfsys.co.uk Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Hi, Have just installed the above on a V215 with a minor issue. After install shutdown, then reboot, the system hangs after the UHUB2 line. An earlier messages says: nexus0: <syscons> type unknown, no driver attached Have been trying out various earlier releases over the past few months and one of the tips to solve an Xorg problem with console was to include the line: kern.vty=vt, in /boot/loader.conf This didn't solve the problem in the previous case, but was the clue here. When this is included, the system boots as normal. Don't know if this is a bug that has already been fixed, but syscons appears to be needed to run Xorg, isn't present and the system, and 11rc2 defaults to it. Just where is the code for syscons and how can it be included ?. A complete newbie to all this, embedded systems here, but the build procedures and Makefiles are well above my pay grade at present. Apart from that, all seems fine and am currently building a load of ports without any serious issues. Earlier revisions worked fine and overall, the system seems rock solid stable. Regards & Thanks, Chris
