I've been following stable/14 and then releng/14.0. Kernel from releng/14.0 a couple of days ago started failing to boot. The kernel reboots after loading modules /boot/loader.conf. The scrolling too fast and I cannot see what is failing. I pulled latest code last night and built kernel fully clean. But latest kernel also fails. The last revision kernel failed was: 2a95efe756c65d459cacad89acdf7f90fe080cf6 I will try to find what commit triggered the error.
(In reply to ota from comment #0) > … kernel reboots after loading modules /boot/loader.conf. … Can you share the file content?
I switched back to the branching point of releng/14.0, BETA2, and few other points. Somehow, all of versions failed to start. I only rebuilt the kernel cleanly; I wonder if I had to clean build the world, userland as well... The below is my loader.conf. I don't think I have updated pkg yet. I wonder if vbox module is the cause. I will try without vbox module, next. ============ kern.vty="vt" vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable=0 hw.snd.default_unit="1" geom_eli_load="YES" geom_uzip_load="YES" geom_concat_load="YES" ums_load="YES" vboxdrv_load="YES" ============
After commenting out vboxdrv_load, kernel started boot more but still crashed. After deleting all files under /boot/modules, kernel finally started boot okay. I thought kernel modules had version checks.
