Hello, ==== One of my old laptops (HP ProBook 6550b) was running FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE (amd64) perfectly fine, but upgrading to anything higher results in a boot that hangs at the line: psm0: model Synaptics Touchpad, device ID 0 A while ago I tried upgrading to 14.1-RELEASE and run into this problem. Back then I decided to wait, hoping this glitch would be ironed out in a later release. But today experimenting with 14.3-RELEASE and 15.0-STABLE from 20251113 I got the same results. It would be great to find a fix for this and would like to help troubleshooting this issue. I'm not even close to a kernel developer though, but perfectly capable of gathering all kinds of information (I'm a FreeBSD-user since version 4.4) and help testing. ==== This is what I posted on the FreeBSD forum. The post is here: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/hp-probook-6550b-not-booting-14-3-release-15-0-stable.100065/ The conclusion there was to try again on this mailing list. I tried kernels 14.1-RELEASE, 14.3-RELEASE, 15.0-STABLE and the most recent version I tested with is FreeBSD-16.0-CURRENT-amd64-20251110-dbb34d496708-281771 The problem is still there. It seems the system locks up since scolling back up doesn't work either. I wonder if anyone is willing to look into this. The offer to help troubleshooting this and test a solution (if any) stands. Kind regards, Michael
