https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=202538 Bug ID: 202538 Summary: "i915kms_load="YES"" in /boot/loader.conf panics kernel in 10.1 Product: Base System Version: 10.1-RELEASE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: b0bfreebsd@gmail.com My HW: AMD FX-8300 3.3GHz Eight-Core OEM CPU/Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 mATX MB/8GB DDR3 1866 Kingston HyperX Fury Red Memory/128GB Adata Premier Pro SSD/CPU Cooler My dilemma: When I installed 10.1 I realized that I had no virtual terminals. I researched this and realized that I needed to add a few things into my /boot/loader.conf to correct this. This is what I added: root@hendrix:/boot # cat loader.conf hw.vga.textmode=1 kern.vty=vt # i915kms_load="YES" kern.vt.fb.default_mode="640x480" sem_load="YES" snd_driver_load="YES" The relevant issue is that when I switch to a virtual terminal the typeface is far too small, so I was looking to increase the Text Size. In my research it was advised to add "i915kms_load="YES"" ... but after doing that, which did NOT fix my ability to modify the Text Size, I realized that this consistently Panicked my Kernel after 10 minutes. I thought I might bring this to your attention. Thank you for your time. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
