Re: shutdown messages and boot messages about which service was started

Hi Manfred,

Are you using drm-kmod?

If so, I think you might be bitten by the text console getting disabled 
when drm-kmod from packages (built on 14.1)  running on 14.2. This 
results in the text console freezing after drm-kmod is loaded which 
matches your symptoms.

Possible fixes:

 1. build drm-kmod from ports:
      * cd /usr/ports/graphics/drm-kmod/ && make install clean
        (or whatever version you are using e.g. drm-61-kmod)
 2. install package from release_2 pkg repo
      * configure the repo (my config as an example:
        # cat /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD_release_2.conf
        FreeBSD_release_2: {
           url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/release_2",
           mirror_type: "srv",
           signature_type: "fingerprints",
           fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
           enabled: yes,
           priority: 100
        }
      * install the package as root
        pkg install -fr FreeBSD_release_2 drm-kmod

For context, see https://www.freebsd.org/releases/14.2R/errata/

|"drm-kmod| packages compiled on FreeBSD 14.1 result in the text console 
being inoperative when the kernel module is loaded. Recompiling the 
package from the ports tree will restore the lost functionality. This 
issue will also resolve itself after the FreeBSD 14.1 EoL, when packages 
for 14-STABLE will start being built on FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE."

Let us know if this does not help

Best,

M.
