I wouldn't recommend 26.1 from such an old install because it adds the ISC removal complication to the mix. Don't forget there is a config import feature in the installer.
Sound reasonable. Thanks! I'll do that as soon as I can schedule some downtime (don't have a HA setup).
I just noticed that /boot/kernel does not exist. So that's probably why the system says `Failed to load kernel 'kernel'`.
If i run `opnsense-update -u -V` the output ends like this:
Code Select
+ echo -n 'Extracting kernel-23.7-amd64.txz...'
Extracting kernel-23.7-amd64.txz...+ rm -rf '/var/cache/opnsense-update/.sets.pending/kernel-*'
+ mkdir -p /var/cache/opnsense-update/.sets.pending
+ mv /var/cache/opnsense-update/69245/kernel-23.7-amd64.txz /var/cache/opnsense-update/.sets.pending
+ echo 23.7
+ echo ' done'
done
+ [ -n -k -a -z -u ]
+ [ -n -b -a -z -u ]
+ [ -b '=' -b -a -z -u ]
+ [ -n '' ]
+ [ -p '=' -P -a -z -u ]
+ [ -z '' ]
+ rm -rf /var/cache/opnsense-update/652 /var/cache/opnsense-update/69245
+ [ -k '=' -k -o -b '=' -b -o -n -u ]
+ echo 'Please reboot.'
Please reboot./var/cache/opnsense-update/.sets.pending/kernel-23.7-amd64.txz tests fine using tar -tf, and contains a kernel so the 25.1 live boot sounds like the most efficient way forward.
