Backtrace

Hardware: Thinkpad T420 i5 with NVidia graphics
BIOS: Fails with UEFI, Legacy or UEFI/Legacy
BIOS: Fails with Discreet (NVidia) or Integrated Graphics
11.0-CURRENT from git://xenbits.xen.org/people/royger/freebsd.git | pvh_dom0_v9
From December 15th, 2014 - Unable to determine equivalent upstream revision

Checkout steps: http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/FreeBSD_Dom0
From there, I built world, kernel and release

For whatever reason, the copied /usr/src/release/amd64/make-uefi-memstick.sh to make-memstick.sh and it is built with the release.

Upon boot to the resulting UEFI memstick image, the error appears after the vtfb0 driver probes: UEFI boot panic: Unable to reserve vt_fb memory

This likely has nothing to do with the Xen DOM0 patches in their branch but I would not know as I am not a FreeBSD developer.

See the attached photo of the backtrace. I will try to add the loader stage and panic but this seems to only allow for one photo.

UEFI solves what problem exactly?

This panic is from the change in https://reviews.freebsd.org/D1291
Comment 4 Michael Dexter 2014-12-18 18:43:41 UTC 
There I go being all wrong about this being related to the Xen Dom0 patches.
Comment 5 Ed Maste freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-07-07 15:16:42 UTC 
Michael, can you confirm that this still happens on your T420 on -CURRENT (now that the Dom0 changes are merged)?
Comment 6 Ed Maste freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-08-13 02:53:25 UTC 
I believe this is fixed, and haven't received feedback to the contrary. Please reopen if it's still reproducible for you.
