Without seeing where it dies it's hard to diagnose anything.

Try to connect a monitor or serial cable if applicable and post the details here

Unpatched production firewall internet facing ? The cause could have been external

Where is a good reinstalltion guide documented?
And what kind of configurations are perhaps not backed up by the GUI backup feature?

1. Install on ZFS
2. Update ( do a minimal configuration to have internet access, it will be temporary)
3. Import configuration - machine will reboot
4. Check for updates - all official plugins will be reinstalled
   If using third party plugins you will need to add the repo manually and also the configuration file if you have it
5. One more reboot for everything to start properly

For ZA do your own research, I'm not using it.

Chances are it's the drive that needs replacement. Check out the smart data if you can...

Else you'll need the config file and whatever ZA recommendations are for a reinstall, and start from scratch

Writing firmware settings:sh: opnsense-version: not found
Mirror ABI cannot be a subdirectory
OPNsense SunnyValley
Writing trust files. .. done.
sh: /usr/local/opnsense/scripts/system/certctl py: not found

Likely storage issues...

If you're on ZFS move to the previous snapshot, take another one for safety and try upgrading again.


Make sure there's enough space on disk too, maybe delete old snaps first 

The attachment fails to load for me...

Where exactly does it die? Are you sure it doesn't continue after a while?

New firmware has been published for

DEC800, DEC3800 & DEC4000 series
  09-2026 Version 05.22.01.0029.0020


DEC700 and DEC2700 series
  09-2026 Version 05.3A.17.0031-A10.37

First disable IPv6 on wan and try to complete the upgrade

Everything else's secondary

Then the DNS and/or IPv6 is still unresolved

Which mirror are you on? Try changing it

To update the kernel and base packages do this:

Code Select Expand

opnsense-update -bkr 26.1.11

Ssh in and run this comand, then retry the update and post here the output.

Code Select Expand

pkg -f add https://pkg.opnsense.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/26.7/MINT/26.7/latest/All/perl5-5.42.2.pkg

It's in 26.7.4

Check for updates. Restart Unbound

Do you see the flip flops when setting igc0 on 1000baseT ?

Is the appletv nic flopping if connected to the USW-pro-8 ? Try both auto negotiation and static on the switch side

Download and install os-realtek-re and realtek-re-kmod packages from here

https://pkg.opnsense.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/26.7/MINT/26.7/latest/All/

 Copy to a stick, move to the minipc box and install.

Once installed the nics should be available upon restart.

If you have a mix of Intel and realtek cards then use the Intel one as wan so you'll be able to install the driver and perform the upgrades a lot easier than fiddling around with a usb stick.

Ok but that means the bnxt driver on 15.1 is broken for the Broadcom 57504 chipset and a ticket needs to be opened upstream.


While using the driver provided by the manufacturer clearly works it clearly has issues - nontechnical - that prevent its redistribution both in FreeBSD and OPNsense.

The best path forward here is to have the driver maintainers look into this issue by opening a FreeBSD ticket.


As soon as this issue is addressed upstream you can be sure the next OPNsense release will include the patch.
