https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=241101 Theron Tarigo <theron@freebsd.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |theron@freebsd.org --- Comment #13 from Theron Tarigo <theron@freebsd.org> --- This is really two bugs: (1) Package repository contains an incompatible kmod which panics the system instead of checking compatibility. (2) Package repository doesn't contain a working i915kms for 12.1 (In reply to Niclas Zeising from comment #12) To fix (1) I propose a much simpler fix: Patch the kmod itself to take responsibility for checking whether the kernel is compatible, since the kernel otherwise assumes modules to be forward compatible. While indeed, working around the issue is easy enough for the system administrator, I agree with Tomasz that the binary pkg situation is unacceptable. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
