[SOLVED] Update to 24.7.2 results in kernel panic

[doktornotor]

Using set hint.agp.0.disabled=1, was enought to back my server to life.

Nice. Thanks for testing.

I am working on it. Will report back. Thanks.

I will replace the kernel on the mirror when someone confirmed this on one of the images with the actual hardware that the driver attaches to. ZPOOL_IMPORT_PATH has not been reverted, only agp removed from kernel so it cannot hit the bad agp_close(). If this works for the people reporting the crash we have our answer.

Ok, I fail to understand how it only has serial.

IIRC Even APU devices have a VGA device somewhere in their chipset but do not have any port connected to that (and probably some more missing components that would drive these signal lines ... whatever).

disabeling only agp.0 also brought mine back to life as well :-)
will continue with installing the patch


i was worried about SERIAL and VGA, as mine doesn't have an video output, only serial

opnsense-update -zfkr 24.7.2
is working for me, until now no side affects


will continue testing,  so long big thanks and great work, THANK YOU!

Apparently there is some VGA pinout on the MB - https://www.manualsdir.com/manuals/802785/lanner-fw-7540.html?page=16&original=1

It seems to have some nonsense on-board with pins, no normal connector, at least per the above linked manual. (Also wondering how is the BIOS described there used with serial console... huh.)

I think this is the way to get serial console on VGA images - but untested:

Code Select Expand


set console=comconsole
boot -v

opnsense-update -zfkr 24.7.2

If someone with the affected hardware wants to follow up the broken agp driver with upstream, I created a bug report for your convenience - see Bug 281035.  ;D

Will check the progress here in a couple of years.  :P

I can confirm the DVD image is fine. I am currently running OPNsense 24.7.2_1 happily.
Thanks a lot for your effort, especially in the middle of the night.
I hope you will sleep better. I am grateful.

Does this mean its safe to use the firmware update in the GUI at this time?

[doktornotor]

Uhm, no... those are images for testing, nothing released now. If you have some vintage HW which has /dev/agpgart and running <24.7.2 and do not want to play with kernel hints on boot or potentially reinstalling, just leave it alone. If you cannot live without updating, only use the method mentioned in this post.

I tested this on a modern CPU 5700G and it still happened. Its not about hardware age.

[doktornotor]

Not sure we are on the same page. This thread is about kernel panic with AGP graphics driver specifically.

...exactly my humor! Keep up with your good work! :-P

When will BSD kick out OPNsense? :-D

@TestUserPleaseIgnore can you clarify a lot on "it still happened"


Thanks,
