Re: Boot hangs up with Alderlake's intel GbE NIC

Hey yasu,

I haven't looked into this but if there is a way you can disable the Intel nic's driver from loading (maybe like this since it's early boot):

That way you can at least get in and do further troubleshooting. You'll need another way to get internet though, or maybe you can load the module manually post boot and see what happens.

Hello,
2 months ago I updated my home server to Intel Alderlake Core i3 12100
and GIGABYTE H610I DDR4 (rev. 1.0) motherboard.
The latter has onboard Intel GbE NIC. But unfortunately 13.0-RELEASE
doesn't detect it. So I inserted Intel PCI-E GbE adaptor to the PCI-E
slot of the motherbord and used it as network interface of the server.
And now 13.1-RELEASE is released. I tried updating with
`freebsd-update update -r 13.1-RELEASE`, `freebsd install` and
`shutdown -r now`. But after that system hangs up in the middle of
boot.
At first boot stops after onboard Intel GbE NIC is detected.

It keeps about a minute and then boot process resumes. But soon it
stops again.

I waited about 20 minites in this state but boot never go ahead.
Removing PCE-E GbE adopter doesn't change the situation.
I also tried boot image of 14.0-CURRENT 20220519 snapshot and boot
hangs up just same as 13.1-RELEASE.
