24.7 Production Series / Re: Update to 24.7.2 results in kernel panic
« on: August 26, 2024, 12:35:11 am »
Okay update...
I panicked more than the kernel
Running on a repurposed HP Elite 8000 Circa 2007 C2Duo 3Ghz 8GB Ram 120GB SSD 4x1GbE plus onboard nic.
Migrated from pfSense and been running smooth butter for a couple years updating without any issues at all!
So originally the update from 24.7 to 24.7.2 hosed my system completely and I never had a bare-metal backup.
I had been downloading the config file before each update thinking a roll-back would be simple in a catastrophe.
But when I couldn't get the thing to boot without the panic crash - i had no way in.
Downloaded the latest 24.7 from the website and thought okay a quick re-install and apply the config i backed up.
Loads of errors ofc because the pluggins weren't reinstalled yet - start again lol
Eventually made a couple of panicky comments here and in the wrong threads and got rightfully roasted so my apologies to doktornotor and franco who after i read more of the spaghetti have clearly made HUGE efforts to help and it did - thank you!!
My solution so far has been to use the download from the website of latest vga version [i did download francos version posted here but didn't need it]
I shelled into the cli on the console and did the opnsense-update -zkr 24.7.2
Went back to the gui when it rebooted and did the full update - voila!!
Thanks chaps
[added:] - for anyone else -
After i did the updates -
i re-installed the acme [no config] -
i then installed zenarmor [run initial config with defaults]
THEN - I restored of the backup configs i had done religiously and it restored EVRYTHING back to normal including all the SSL certificates and zenarmor configs
AMAZING - I love this product!!!
