[Bug]: ISO installation gets stuck after reading EFI framebuffer information #52

Closed kiyospace closed 1 month ago

kiyospace commented 2 years ago

Version

22.06.18 & 22.07.28

Explain the issue and what happens

I have been trying install and play with GhostBSD on VM (VirtualBox) for a while and basically everything works fine, so I thought let me try to install on my laptop, but the installation freezes every time as shown in the picture after reading EFI framebuffer information right after the boot and won't go on.

ghostbsd_install_freezes

Explain how to reproduce the bug?

  1. Download GhostBSD iso
  2. Flash (dd write with rufus) the iso to the USB flash disk
  3. Reboot and the system can boot to GhostBSD from the USB
  4. system gets stuck after reading EFI framebuffer information as shown in the above picture every time

What is the Expected behavior (if applicable)

No response

Additional context (if applicable)

No response

@clark713 and @kiyospace, did you both try another USB port?

htx80nerd commented 1 year ago

@ericbsd Yes. Sorry for not providing more info I was posting from phone. I also tried every other kernel option (single user mode, verbose, etc) but no joy and no change to the output shown. Acer using intel CPU / GPU. It uses one of those eMMC drives. The laptop did not seem to get warm, so I do not think it was stuck maxing out the CPU doing something. Wish I had more output to give! Happy to do some testing on this.

Many thanks

Is still a problem still on the last build 23.05.28? https://www.ghostbsd.org/download#latest_builds

Ensure that a copy of the loader in the EFI system partition matches the loader that is provided by GhostBSD.

loader.efi(8) EXAMPLES are appropriate for FreeBSD, the routine for GhostBSD will differ (please see, for example, the foot of https://www.ghostbsd.org/news/GhostBSD_24.01.1_Now_Available).

Background

In Bugzilla for FreeBSD, my 2021 report 255073 – boot (UEFI): loader: copy_staging: no progress beyond EFI framebuffer information became a duplicate of 2016 report 209821 – UEFI - installation media hangs when booting on ASUS P6P67 DELUXE.

For FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE, https://www.freebsd.org/releases/13.1R/relnotes/#boot (2022-05-16) noted that UEFI boot was improved for amd64. No reference to any commit, however the various commits certainly did fix bugs such as 255073.
