Firmware fails to load a few times until its loads correctly

[Alexander88207]

Describe the bug

Looks like its looking in the wrong path in the first times?

DRM KMOD version

pkg info drm-61-kmod
drm-61-kmod-6.1.92_2
Name           : drm-61-kmod
Version        : 6.1.92_2
Installed on   : Sat Nov  9 21:09:26 2024 CET
Origin         : graphics/drm-61-kmod
Architecture   : FreeBSD:14:amd64

To Reproduce Load the driver.

Additional context Everything works fine didn't notice it otherwise just saw it while booting up.

[wulf7]

It is an expected behavior. drm-kmod tries to load firmware as a file than fallbacks to load it as kmod with success.

Should be closed as NOT-A-BUG

P.S.: The messages are really confusing

[Alexander88207]

Alright, closing this.

Thanks for your quick answer.

[wulf7]

Reopen NOT-A-BUG as I expect more bug reports like this one. The things are really very confusing.

[evadot]

Both main and stable/14 (so 14.2 too) can load binary files now, I plan to add support for this in the near future (I just need to adapt the port for 13 as it doesn't have this feature and never will). We can leave this bug open for now.
