Good morning,
I upgraded from opnsense 25.1 to 25.7.1 this morning and post upgrade I get stuck with this message masks 0x00ff0000, 0x0000ff00, 0x000000ff, 0xff000000. I can get my system up but I have to boot previous kernel. How can I tell what is causing my issue from booting the new version? Thanks in advance for your assistance as it is much appreciated. I am running a newer Intel CPU. Could it be the cpu microcode?
Not sure what the problem is. 25.7.1 doesn't have a new kernel, but you did a manual reboot and it won't boot is what you are saying?
What I am saying is that post upgrade OPNsense would hang at the message masks 0x00ff0000, 0x0000ff00, 0x000000ff, 0xff000000. The only way to get it to boot fully was to boot with a previous kernel. Once I did get it to boot fully, I uninstall the os-cpu-microcode-intel package. After the package was removed I rebooted and OPNsense booted as expected. I am running Intel® Core™ i5 14500T vPro® (14 cores, up to 4.8GHz) 14th gen CPU. Not sure if there is a incompatibility with this package and a newer CPU. Thanks for your help an patience with me. I look forward to any insight you may have.

I suspect the old kernel was actually 25.1.12 in that case. What hardware / Intel CPU are you using? Did you install microcode plugin after going to 25.7 or was it previously installed?
Cheers,

The plugin was installed prior to the upgrade and then I removed it so I could boot without issue. I am running Intel® Core™ i5 14500T vPro® (14 cores, up to 4.8GHz) 14th gen CPU. Thanks again for your speedy response.
