I saw this gptzfsboot issue 3 times in a row after re-activating r346885
but have not seen it again after at least 12 reboots this afternoon.

It looks like there is an issue with the DRM update or changes to the
kernel between r346544 and r346885 that is causing a separate problem
for me.

Thanks for looking into this.

Toomas:

After activating the snapshot made for r346885, I got the same sort of
gptzfsboot errors that I had seen previously.  After my third attempt, I
was finally given the prompt for my Geli password and proceeded to the
boot menu.  I selected item #3 and went to the loader menu.  I selected
booting from kernel.old and got a successful startup.  I have rebooted
this laptop another dozen times this afternoon and had not had any more
gptzfsboot issues since the three observed when re-activating r346885.

It looks like the changes made by Ian Lepore did not solve my problem
with gptzfsboot.  I will probably start another thread about my issue
with the DRM update.

Thanks for the assistance.

I can't say anything at all about drm or other video driver issues, I'm
just not knowledgeable about that stuff at all.

The only thing I was getting at was that the changes I made in r346675
might make this error stop happening:

   gptzfsboot: error 1 LBA 18446744072709551608
   gptzfsboot: error 1 LBA 1
   gptzfsboot: No ZFS pools located, can't boot

Emphasis on the "might"... that appears to be an error during probing
for zfs, and I made some fixes related to probing for zfs.

It means you have different issues - one is about gptzfsboot causing boot 
problems and apparently it got fixed when you did update the bootcode (the boot 
partition is global). But also you got bitten by DRM update, and since you had 
old BE around, you were able to load old kernel.

Now the question is, is that gptzfsboot issue really fixed or is it just the 
“warm boot” fix you were seeing earlier too.

Ian:

I re-activated the r346885 BEADM snapshot and booted from my
'kernel.old' from r346544 and everything came up OK including 'X'.

I don't know what that means.  It might be that I have a DRM issue
instead of a gptzfsboot problem?  Everything except for the kernel is
now running CURRENT r346885.  I am not using the updated
drm-current-kmod because I am using the r346544 kernel.old.

It was more than a broken console.  All of the other 2 computers that I
upgraded to r346885 were essentially 'dead'.  I could not even remotely
login to them via ssh.  All of them required a hard power button reset
to get into single user mode to let me comment out the rc.conf line that
loads the DRM driver.  The computer could successfully boot without DRM
activation but would go to a black console screen again with 'startx'.
This also required a hard power button shutdown.  I rolled back to
r346544 and everything worked again like before.

My disastrous update to r346885 included installing a new gptzfsboot and
pmbr in the drive boot record.  I did not try booting an older kernel
using the new gptzfsboot.  I was concerned about the lack of ssh login
when the computers lost their console, so I just rolled back my system
to the last snapshot made a week ago.

Ian:

I updated my other desktop PC's (Intel Atom D510 and Dell AMD Sempron)
and received the same black screen, not responsive, no log events just
like my laptop with CURRENT r346885 and the DRM kmod update from ports.
 The only computer that had success was my Intel i5 Skylake.  I did not
try updating my other laptop since r346885 had issues on three
computers.  Recovery also required a BEADM rollback to the last
successful snapshot.

I'm fighting my own video driver troubles (seems like a lot of that
going around lately); on an upgrade of a machine from 11-stable to 12-
stable I lost my console.

But, a broken kernel and/or userland shouldn't affect your ability to
use the new boot components.  That is, you can use gptzfsboot and
loader that contain my fixes, and use them to load an older kernel that
has working video drivers.

Ian:

Updating to r346885 turned out to be a disaster!  There were changes to
DRM between FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT r346544 and r346885.  The desktop that
I use for a build machine because it is much faster than any of my other
PC's installed kernel and world without any problems including starting
'X'.  I had to update the drm-current-kmod port on my build PC.  Nothing
was in /usr/src/UPDATING or /usr/ports/UPDATING about the need to do so.
 DRM on my build computer did not start until the update and then worked
as expected.

I did the same on my Dell laptop and it crashed on the first boot right
after loading DRM-kmod.  I removed the line in rc.conf that activates
the kernel module and my laptop booted into multiuser.  When I started
'X' it crashed just like before.  The screen was black and I could not
login remotely via SSH.  Nothing in any system log.  The Xorg log shows
this and stops:

If you're using gptzfsboot, I guess you're using zfs?  I just fixed a
problem with probing disks for zfs volumes a few days ago (r346675). 
There is even some small chance it fixes this problem, because one of
the things I noticed was that in one of the disk structures in loader,
the "slice offset" value was sometimes a bit random-looking, like it
was being initialized with whatever garbage was laying around in
memory.  It actually makes some sense that the "garbage" might be
different between a firstboot after power-on and a reboot.

So all in all, it wouldn't hurt to update both gptzfsboot and loader
(gpart bootcode -b and -p) to see if there's a fix lurking in my zfs
probe changes.

Ever boot with thumb drives plugged in? Does the DVD player have a disk in
it?

The messages are similar.  The boot process will normally proceed on the
second or third attempt.  On some days, I don't see this message appear
and my laptops boot normally.  I don't think that this problem is
hardware related.  One laptop is a Compaq Pavilion with an AMD Turion
CPU and the other is a Dell Inspiron with an Intel Core2 Duo CPU.  One
hard drive is mechanical and the other is a SSD.  I have swapped hard
drives between the two laptops and the issue still shows up on occasion
with each PC.  I have never seen this issue on any of my desktop
computers.  Everything is running FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT r346544
GENERIC-NODEBUG at the moment.  The thread in the bug report also shows
a smaller LBA number, mine is LBA 18446744072709551608 and much further
in geometry than most of the reported issues.  I have seen this issue
since FreeBSD 12 was CURRENT.  Since the boot process will work on a
second or third boot attempt, it is not a show stopper for me.

Most of the time the boot process is successful on my next attempt.
This happens on two different laptops (different manufacturer).
Different hard drives (one mechanical, the other SSD).  Both laptops are
running 13.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT r346544 GENERIC-NODEBUG.  All
of my desktop computers are running the same version of FreeBSD and
never exhibit this issue.  Is there something unique to a laptop reading
the boot record and looking for a GELI encrypted partition that a
desktop does not?

No quick workaround is required, take your time.  This is minor issue
for me because my laptops mostly boot on the next attempt.

Thanks for the quick response.

Oh right, this from gptzfsboot… ok, I guess I should do something I have been 
planning all along… Do you need some sort of quick workaround?

I always update the bootcode with gpart each time when updating my system.

The key is about LBA in first message. Make sure you have latest boot code 
installed with gpart.

Question about 'gptzfsboot'

2019-04-26 Thread Thomas Laus
List:

I have been having gptzfsboot issues with my two laptops since 12.0 was
still CURRENT.  I receive 'error 1' on the first boot most days.

gptzfsboot: error 1 LBA 18446744072709551608
gptzfsboot: error 1 LBA 1
gptzfsboot: No ZFS pools located, can't boot

Most of the time the boot process is successful on my next attempt.
This happens on two different laptops (different manufacturer).
Different hard drives (one mechanical, the other SSD).  Both laptops are
running 13.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT r346544 GENERIC-NODEBUG.  All
of my desktop computers are running the same version of FreeBSD and
never exhibit this issue.  Is there something unique to a laptop reading
