It prevents the boot from going further than posting the > "EFI framebuffer information" section if I load the nvidia driver and > cpu_microcode (intel-ucode.bin) firmware. Removing either from > loader.conf gets it past that point. > > If the Intel firmware loads after nvidia, I see an additional message > printed twice: > > efi_check_space: Unable to expand staging area > > I can work around this by loading either of those drivers from > /etc/rc.conf, but is this something of concern? For my workstation, I > prefer loading both from the loader. It is best to have the microcode > update loaded as early as possible. It is also nice to have the nvidia > driver to panic early, if it does, so graid does not have to rebuild the > volume. It becomes an either/or between VMware and Nvidia. For myself, I rebuild t= he kernel anyway, so I just reverted it locally. I have tested against the 13= .0 loader.efi without success. It has been awhile since I checked if there is newer code that fixes it. Obviously, this method is not something that should be in the handbook yet could help people who come across this issue. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
