25.7 Series / Re: Unable to Upgrade to 25.7.1
August 24, 2025, 06:26:26 PM
I have a CWWK N305 mini pc, CW-ADLN-6L.
I was having crashes every 1-3 days in 25.7.1 so I reverted back to 25.1.12 snapshot and everything was okay again for over a week.
I then updated the BIOS, intel microcode, and 3 bootloaders. After a reboot, I then redid the upgrade to 25.7.1 and then to 25.7.2 after that.
Previously, after the upgrade to 25.7.1, I had a crash and the system rebooted after I checked for updates. This time, it did not.
Everything seems okay now with 25.7.2, but I need to wait at least a week to be more confident.
However, I thought this was worth mentioning and I hope it helps you.

BIOS:
download CORRECT iso file from cwwk and make bootable usb drive using Rufus

microcode:
installed OPNsense plugin os-cpu-microcode-intel

updated bootloaders:
pkg lock -y pkg
sed -i '' 's/enabled: no/enabled: yes/' /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
pkg install loaders-update
sed -i '' 's/enabled: yes/enabled: no/' /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
pkg unlock -y pkg
root@firewall:~ # loaders-update show-me
then did the 3 "Would run:" commands to upgrade them
