[apologies if I'm barging in] Just for fun I tried rebooting my 8GB Pi4 running -current from the video console and USB keyboard (old Logitec). On reboot there was no beastie menu (maybe it was turned off) but the loader responded to the USB keyboard to allow boot to single user mode. The HDMI output ended with .... Dual Console: Serial Primary, Video Secondary and after that the keyboard became unresponsive, although the caps lock key still toggled the light. Meanwhile the serial console reported: Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh: After hitting return, it continued Cannot read termcap database; using dumb terminal settings. Cannot read termcap database; using dumb terminal settings. Issuing exit to the root shell on the serial console brought up a login prompt on the video console and it worked as normal. At this point /boot/msdos/config.txt contains [all] arm_64bit=1 dtparam=audio=on,i2c_arm=on,spi=on dtoverlay=mmc dtoverlay=disable-bt device_tree_address=0x4000 kernel=u-boot.bin [pi4] #hdmi_safe=1 armstub=armstub8-gic.bin gpio=2,3=a0 which I think haven't been tampered with. /boot/loader.conf contains # Configure USB OTG; see usb_template(4). hw.usb.template=3 umodem_load="YES" # Multiple console (serial+efi gop) enabled. boot_multicons="YES" boot_serial="YES" # Disable the beastie menu and color beastie_disable="YES" loader_color="NO" filemon_load="YES" # net.inet.tcp.tolerate_missing_ts="1" #hw.usb.debug=1 vm.pageout_oom_seq="4096" vm.pfault_oom_attempts="120" vm.pfault_oom_wait="20" [likely the vm stuff is pointless] If there's anything useful I can try please say so. Thanks for reading, bob prohaska
