https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=292232 Bug ID: 292232 Summary: loader: kernels_autodetect fails on initial load Product: Base System Version: 16.0-CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: ivy@FreeBSD.org CC: kevans@freebsd.org on a newly installed amd64 system with some local installer/packaging patches: + /boot/kernel doesn't exist + /boot/kernel.GENERIC contains a kernel + no other kernels are installed + loader.conf is an empty file when the loader starts, the beastie menu correctly autodetects "kernel.GENERIC" and the menu shows "Kernel: 6. kernel.GENERIC (1 of 1)", but pressing "1" to boot does not work (nothing happens). dropping to the loader prompt and running "boot" by hand indicates it's trying to boot /boot/kernel/kernel, not /boot/kernel.GENERIC/kernel. if i press 6 to change the kernel (which doesn't do anything, since there's only one kernel available), pressing "1" to boot then works correctly. it seems like something isn't being initialised properly until the user manually switches the kernel at least once. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
