https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D239402 Bug ID: 239402 Summary: efifb ignored under 11.3 and later Product: Base System Version: 11.3-RELEASE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: mason@blisses.org Created attachment 206008 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D206008&action= =3Dedit Image of console exhibiting issue. I was installing a VM last night under QEMU/KVM with OVMF for purposes of looking at offline VM migration between this environment and Bhyve, and I thought at first that my VM had locked up. RhodiumToad from Freenode sugges= ted that it hadn't locked up, but that it was using a console I wasn't looking = at, and he nailed it - I was able to interact on the VM's serial console. I noted this behaviour on install disks from all of: 11.3-RELEASE, 12.0-RELEASE, 12-STABLE, and 13-CURRENT. Trying the 11.2-RELEASE install di= sk, the efifb is used by default. Something I noted was that 11.2-RELEASE shows the Beastie logo in colour, whereas the newer installers show it in black and white. Another slight oddity is that when I opted for a live session from the seri= al console, I noticed a functional getty showing up on the efifb, so it seems = like the efifb works but simply isn't preferred under 11.3 and newer. While this behaviour is pretty easy to accomodate, it was surprising, and I didn't know to look at the serial console at first. I haven't tracked down = just why it's happening, but I'd be happy to help explore this. I've attached an image of the efifb console at the point when the system st= arts using the serial console exclusively. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
