https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=220014 Bug ID: 220014 Summary: Handbook always recommends loading modules from /boot/loader.conf, never mentioning kld_list Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Documentation Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: salternate@gmx.com So rc.conf(5) says "Loading modules at this point in the boot process is much faster than doing it via /boot/loader.conf for those modules not necessary for mounting local disk." I first saw mention somewhere that it was safer to load video drivers from kld_list so the display wouldn’t be blanked for a long time during boot, so you would have the slightest idea what was going wrong if something does wrong... and indeed it has turned out to be much nicer to put i915kms in kld_list. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
