            Bug ID: 280597
           Summary: bootloader does not load OS when screen resolution is
                    5k or higher
           Product: Base System
           Version: 14.1-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: spock@sarahspock.com

When the default resolution is 5k or higher, the bootloader will not load t=
he
OS, and will restart the computer. This occurs on the install disc and after
installation. The bootloader will load the os if you use option: gop set 2 =
to
manually lower the resolution.

- This behavior was able to be replicated in qemu by setting the resolution=
 to
8k
- This was found when using a Lenovo Thinkvision P40w-20 monitor with WUHD
(5120 x 2160) resolution
- Nvidia graphics card A1000 , but most likely able to replicate so long as=
 the
resolution is above 4k, as someone else was able to replicate this in qemu =
that
does not have this graphics card.

I suspect this is a serious issue because we might start seeing more monito=
rs
over 4k in the wild.
