20.1 Legacy Series / Re: Upgrading from 19.7.10 to 20.1
« on: April 14, 2020, 04:07:48 am »
Hi all,
I just upgraded from the latest version of 19.7 to 20.1 but ran into issues. I'm posting as it took me a good two hours to figure out and maybe it'll help someone.
I have OPNsense running in VMware 6.7. I was upgrading from the GUI but my upgrade failed. I tried multiple times, I even tried a fresh 19.7 install and uploaded my older config before trying again. I could see via the console that the upgrade to 20.1 completed but it would try to boot then get caught in an infinite loop.
It turns out I had the 19.7 ISO mounted to my virtual CDROM drive in VMware. As soon as I removed the ISO and tried the upgrade again, it succeeded. What's weird was that the boot order for the CDROM was after the HDD but it still caused an issue. Lesson learned!
