https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=241036 Bug ID: 241036 Summary: efifb console lost during install in VM in UEFI mode - switches to serial Product: Base System Version: 12.0-RELEASE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: mason@blisses.org Created attachment 208052 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=208052&action=edit Final state of efifb Running the 12.0-RELEASE installer in a UEFI VM sees a weird behaviour. We get to the line "smbus0: <System Managmeent Bus> on intsmb0" and that's the last line displayed. I thought initially the VM was frozen, but it turns out (thanks to RhodiumToad in IRC) that it's just switching over to serial at that point. I checked backwards and forwards when I first noted this, and it started with 11.3, and 13-current also exhibited the behaviour. A notable change between 11.2 and 11.3 is that in the (working) 11.2 installer, the Beastie logo shows up in colour, but in the (not working) 11.3 installer he is monochrome. I've added a screenshot showing the console in its final state, and I've just taken a couple more as the notion of immediately switching to the serial console occurred to me. I'll add those presently. This might be related to BZ#237385 but there are differences. Primarily, I'm not specifying anything special for the install environment. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
