https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D259019 --- Comment #4 from donaldcallen@gmail.com --- @Ed Maste -- This has nothing to do with the syntax used to specify the syn= tax used to specify the kernel module in rc.conf. Read on. I have revisited this, as I am now using FreeBSD more widely than was the c= ase when I originally reported this. So I need it working reliably on the machi= ne with which I had the problem originally reported. Reinstalling FreeBSD 13 on that machine, I found that with the line KLD_LIST=3D"radeonkms" in rc.conf, the system would crash while booting, as I originally reported. Installing xf86-video-ati made the situation slightly better. The system wo= uld occasionally boot, but more often than not, it would crash while booting. Additionally installing xf86-video-amdgpu solves the problem. Now the system boots reliably. I think the fix is either to make both of the xf86-video-* drivers dependen= cies of the drm-kms package, or at the very least, fix the documentation to note that if you are going to try to use the radeonkms driver on an old AMD-based system, you need to install the two X drivers or you will have the serious problem I encountered. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
