Description
hello there, i installed version version 25.06 on this computer and Linux seems to boot fine with grub but BSD seems to have issues booting, i have tried FreeBSD and DragonFlyBSD(mainly) with little hope of getting past the initial boot screens. seems to boot the loader properly but seems to freeze when loading the kernel or some module, not sure.
below are the images for the error, but i also have transcripts too:

Autoboot in 7 seconds. [Space] to pause

I don't know what exactly is failing but it seems to freeze before showing any error on dragonfly at least. freebsd i dont really know, but i did manage to get it to boot on uboot once, not when i tried recently though, and dragonlybsd didnt with uboot.
CPU is the i7-7700HQ if that matters,
does not really seem to be USB related as i get the same errors booting directly off SATA too,
if you need any more info or anything let me know, i would absolutely love to get BSD's in general working on this setup.
i also have tried this on libreboot, which has the same results for me. if there is a patch, a backport to 25.06 would be nice so that libreboot's current version can have support too. thank you!
