Bug #3245
closed
- Status changed from New to Resolved
I'd say i915.ko is not supposed to be loaded by the loader, only afterwards. On FreeBSD it is the same (I vaguely remember there are technical reasons for this)
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics says to load the module after the kernel is loaded by adding the module to kld_list
in /etc/rc.comf
which would become something like i915_load=YES
in DragonFlyBSD.
When I tried last time to load i915, it paniced somewhere in the kernel linker, so I am assuming it's somehow related to that.
to clarify, I am talking here about the ELF loader at boot time: src/stand/boot/common/*_elf64.c. IIRC, loading i915 on FreeBSD (14) succeeded, and I've seen some updates on their boot-time ELF loader. Bringing these changes to DragonFly might fix that problem.
