    @phs Yeah that's true of all eink displays though - I'm assuming / hoping that theirs aren't *more* sensitive than the norm.

    hi there, i’m /boot/kernel.GENERIC. you may know me as /boot/kernel, but i’ve moved to a cool new location!i love being here because it solves a lot of problems for users like you, such as “how the fuck do i set $KERNCONF properly when building a single kernel?”look for me in FreeBSD 16.0 any day now! * **(and don’t forget to say hi to my new friend, “automatically created /boot/kernel compatibility symlink”.)* offer only applicable to pkgbase users** subject to bikeshed painting #freebsd

    so Raptor gave me access to a Talos II to do some work on FreeBSD/ppc64le. first thing i noticed: the boot process is *very* unusual. it doesn't use the FreeBSD loader at all; instead it has a Linux-based firmware loader called Petitboot which can load and kexec() the FreeBSD kernel directly. however it needs a rather odd partition layout to do that:# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#/dev/nda0p2 / ufs rw 1 1/dev/nda0p1 /boot msdosfs rw 2 2i assume this is because Petitboot can't read FreeBSD UFS, so we need the kernel (which is in /boot/kernel) to be on FAT. Raptor suggested we should make the loader kexec()able instead, which seems like a good idea, but from what i can tell this platform doesn't use OpenFirmware at all, and i'm not even sure we have a PowerNV-native loader.(as you can tell, i know very little about either POWER or FreeBSD/powerpc, so this is going to be an interesting learning experience.)#FreeBSD

    Found #nvidia Production Branch of drivers 580.95.05 is released. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/254666/Corresponding Linux counterpart is: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/254665/With several hours of using, there seems to be no unknown issues for me, so filed #FreeBSD Bug 289940 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=289940and opened corresponding review D52831 https://reviews.freebsd.org/D52831for this update.TBH, I've prepared update for previous version 580.82.09, but 580.95.05 appeared until I was waiting for commit for splitted out kmod updates, so skipped 580.82.09.
