Solved Boot get frozen at GPU firmware

[freezr]

Hi guys,

I have issue booting this relatively new Intel N97 Alder Lake CPU. The problem came out after followed the steps to add the intel drm module:

I remember there was a chapter about the micro-code on the handbook but I couldn't find it, I guess I can unload the module from the rc.conf but then I won't get the GPU acceleration...

What can I do? This is a brand new installation, thanks...

Maybe this thread will help?

Is your drm module in sync with the FreeBSD kernel version?

Emrion I suppose it was not...

Luckily I had a boot environment that still works...

I installed drm-kmod & drm-61-kmod, now I can login but I can't start X...

I misspelled the module on the rc.conf; can't get this computer to boot with the DRM firmware enabled...

 

[freezr]

Nada... I reinstalled the modules and the firmware but it gets frozen...

FreeBSD doesn't work with this Mini PC, I tested it with NomadBSD but at this rate I believe it fell back to Vesa to run the desktop...

What disappointment...

Eventually I solved it...
In the after install messages it was written the module drm-61-kmod was compiled against 14.1 and to compile from port for 14.2, so I did it and it worked...

A week-end to solve it, a very traumatic experience that I don't recommend to anybody... Sometimes I think that all of this is made on purpose...
