So I loaded the drm-kmod i915kms module and the laptop just reboots and now the contents of rc.conf… have been replaced with that of /etc/group???

What the fuck, #FreeBSD?

This might be the weirdest behavior I have *ever* gotten…

Follow

@phryk i had that happen when I used 12.0 compiled drm modules on a 12.1 kernel (and is now acknowledged in the 12.1 errata). (Well. The reboot. Not the rc.conf bit)

@david

Can I get a link?

Also how do I avoid freebsd loading the driver? I currently can't even edit rc.conf because of this…

@phryk single user mode from loader will bypass all of rc.conf

@david I'm on ${ABI}/quarterly, which I assume would be 12.1 specific, but drm-kmod is only in the packages for 12.0…

@phryk Yeah, it is very poor they still called it '12.0' .. either they should call it just '12', or they should have '12.0', '12.1', etc (especially with this breaking.. whatever it is)
