23.1 Legacy Series / Consistently hanging on reboot
« on: March 24, 2023, 07:57:22 pm »
I've been using OPNsense for a couple of years now without issue, running on my HP Microserver Gen8. After a certain version (//edit: I believe this started occurring after some 22.x.x update), I have the issue that OPNsense will consistently not boot. I'm attaching screenshots of where boot fails.
Just to be clear, a fresh install boots fine, I then import my config and reboot and that is fine too, and I'm up and running with my config working fine. At any subsequent point if I reboot, or update and reboot, I'm stuck at the point shown in the below screenshots. I have tried all 4 installation methods both on a sata ssd as well as a usb flash drive or sd card and unfortunately I get the same results.
So now I'm up and running on 23.1 but cannot update or reboot since I won't be able to and I'll have to reinstall from scratch. This has been quite time consuming; I'm very grateful to anyone who can give me any pointers as to why this is happening and how I can solve it!
Apologies if my description is a bit vague, every time this happens I'm rushing to restore connectivity.
