Install fails on boot

Help Section
1

I’m trying to create a key to use NomadBSD on my new work laptop, a lenovo Carbon x1 12th Gen.

It fails on boot with

[drm ERROR : fw_domain_wait_ack_set] gt: timed out waiting for forcewake ack request.
drmn0: [drm 0xffffffff83430074s] 0xfffffe0160df8718Vdrmn0: [drm] mslice mask all zero!
panic: vm_fault_lookup: fault on nonfault entry, addr: 0xfffffe0161d6c000

I took a picture.

Does this rings a bell to anyone? Are there UFI/Bios settings I should change to to fix? Anything I should test?

Congrats on your new laptop! :slight_smile:

Looks like your graphics is failing to initialize…

So your Thinkpad has an ‘Intel Core Ultra’ CPU.
Looks like it’s not fully supported on all versions yet - have a look at the quirks on this page in the FreeBSD Wiki. FreeBSD 15.0 has DRM 6.6 :wink:

Looking in the ‘Hardware for BSD’ database, I can only find up to the “X1 carbon 11th gen.” models.

Maybe do some more searching/research on your CPU…

For persons that came here via search:
On older Thinkpads the problem might be solved with one of these fixes:

  1. some older Thinkpads needs to have enabled “Compatibility Support Module” (CSM) in BIOS.
  2. Other older Thinkpads needs a ‘lenovofix’ during install to overcome a BIOS-bug.
    Search for ‘lenovofix’ in FreeBSD Forums or:

> man gpart
(use search “/” by typing)
/lenovofix [return]

I ended up doing more testing Yesterday.

14.3 releases based of ghostbsd ended up having the same issue.

I was able to run base 15 release. Guess I’ll need to wait for a 15 based Nomad release.
