FreeBSD/HardenedBSD version?

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Hi!

Which version of the OS will 21.1 have when released? FreeBSD 12.1 is EOL end of this month.

Kind regards,
Patrick

It will still be 12.1. Franco takes care of backporting fixes which worked great the last years

[franco]

Yes we continue to support 12.1 for the time being. Even when not EoL our versions is somewhere in between releng/12.1 and stable/12 all the time.


Cheers,
Franco

Are there any plans in the near future to move to HardenedBSD 12.2. 

I ask because I am interested in the driver updates included in that version as related to the Intel X710-T2L card.

[franco]

I will be working on targeted driver updates for 21.7 but we will remain on 12.1 (with additional 12-STABLE patches).


Cheers,
Franco

take a peek at this : https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=235017

Try to run the OPNSense 21.1 installer on AMD Phenom series CPU's (have tried x2, x4, and x6, others mention Opterons from same generation) hangs at mounting filesystems. I've installed on a intel Core.i5 machine, then moved the HD over to the AMD CPU, and the install hangs at the same spots.

all (4) machines boot FreeBSD 12.2 installer just fine - so I suspect that bug is the thread to pull.

presently running 20.1.9.i386 just fine on a AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 620, but can't upgrade because the installer hangs.

It's ironic because I can't spot a patch reference in there so I can't go digging for "something" that was fixed in 12.2 that in turn has no relation to this bug report in the (extensive) commit history. ;(

Sorry Franco, I'll try to find more data.

Did a bit more testing today, dug out an old FX-8300, works perfectly, swap the CPU back to the x2, x4, x6, etc, and it fails. Same everything except CPU.
