A failed boot with a MINIMAL kernel configuration.
Hello,
somewhere between FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT main-n284480-9a9f93bcf1aa
and CURRENT of today the MINIMAL kernel configuration lost its ability to
boot from ZFS.
The GENERIC kernel configuration boots from ZFS just fine.
As I use a kernel configuration based on MINIMAL for my VMs it took me
some time to realize that GENERIC is just fine.
I managed to get a console output of a MINIMAL boot showing the following
suspicious messages:
link_elf_obj: symbol ZSTD_isError undefined
KLD file zfs.ko - could not finalize loading
The full console output is attached.
Kind regards,
Ralf
