RC2 boot process fails. I do not really see a proper category for this, so I said misc sha256sum FreeBSD-12.1-RC2-amd64-memstick.img b44943a6989027823c7a90a6f570348425a3a03db97eab6afec343ffa7d7b021 FreeBSD-12.1-RC2-amd64-memstick.img I get to the pre-boot screen where it shows drives a,b,c / then it just hangs with that spinner not moving at all. I've got FreeBSD v12 -p10 installed on this laptop with no issues whatsoever. I don;t see any reason why this 21.1 version is now having issues, and I am not sure what info will help you so this is the output of hwinfo --short $ hwinfo --short cpu: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2760QM CPU @ 2.40GHz, 3288 MHz Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2760QM CPU @ 2.40GHz, 3340 MHz Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2760QM CPU @ 2.40GHz, 3341 MHz Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2760QM CPU @ 2.40GHz, 3413 MHz Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2760QM CPU @ 2.40GHz, 3292 MHz Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2760QM CPU @ 2.40GHz, 3316 MHz Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2760QM CPU @ 2.40GHz, 3225 MHz Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2760QM CPU @ 2.40GHz, 3359 MHz keyboard: /dev/input/event0 AT Translated Set 2 keyboard mouse: /dev/input/mice Logitech M105 Optical Mouse /dev/input/mice PS/2 Generic Mouse /dev/input/mice SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad joystick: /dev/input/event6 ST LIS3LV02DL Accelerometer monitor: SAMSUNG L KT LCD Monitor graphics card: Hewlett-Packard Company Radeon HD 6470M sound: Intel 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller ATI Caicos HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 6450 / 7450/8450/8490 OEM / R5 230/235/235X OEM] storage: Intel 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family 6 port SATA AHCI Controller network: wlan0 Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 3x3 AGN network interface: lo Loopback network interface wlan0 WLAN network interface disk: /dev/ram2 Disk /dev/ram0 Disk /dev/sdb Samsung SSD 850 /dev/ram9 Disk /dev/ram14 Disk /dev/ram7 Disk /dev/ram12 Disk /dev/ram5 Disk /dev/ram10 Disk /dev/ram3 Disk /dev/ram1 Disk /dev/ram15 Disk /dev/sda KingFast /dev/ram8 Disk /dev/ram13 Disk /dev/ram6 Disk /dev/ram11 Disk /dev/ram4 Disk partition: /dev/sdb1 Partition /dev/sdb2 Partition /dev/sda1 Partition /dev/sda2 Partition usb controller: Fresco Logic FL1100 USB 3.0 Host Controller NEC uPD720200 USB 3.0 Host Controller Intel 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 Intel 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 bios: BIOS bridge: Intel 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1 Intel QM67 Express Chipset Family LPC Controller Intel Xeon E3-1200/2nd Generation Core Processor Family PCI Express Root Port Intel 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 8 Intel 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 4 Intel 2nd Generation Core Processor Family DRAM Controller Intel 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 2 Intel 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 3 hub: Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Intel Integrated Rate Matching Hub Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Intel Integrated Rate Matching Hub Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub memory: Main Memory bluetooth: HP Broadcom 2070 Bluetooth Combo unknown: FPU DMA controller PIC Keyboard controller JMicron Standard SD Host Controller Intel 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family MEI Controller #1 JMicron SD/MMC Host Controller Intel 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family KT Controller Serial controller Colorado HP HD Webcam [Fixed]
^Triage: FreeBSD 12 is now out of support. I'm sorry that this PR did not get addressed in a timely fashion.
