I'm also getting the "Danger" message.

The first time I saw it, it was during an upgrade from 25.7.7_4 to 25.7.8. Although the update completed, something had clearly gone wrong as nothing was stable after it rebooted (NOTE: you can't stop it from rebooting. The upgrade continues to complete, and then promptly reboots).

I decided to reinstall from the Installation Media (v25.7) and restore my config from backup. This all worked fine, and once I was happy it was stable, I proceeded to progress with the update (this time to 25.7.9, as it had been released by then).

Once again, during the update from 25.7 to 25.7.9, I again got the "Danger" message, and like before the update completed and rebooted. This time though, everything seems stable, so I've just left it in-situ.

Happy to provide logs if it can help determine the root cause.

Uninstalling the microcode plugin also worked for me.

Any idea why booting in verbose mode works though? Seems a bit odd.

Is it best to leave the microcode plugin uninstalled for the moment?

Hi Kewin,

I saw your post, which is why I tried kernel.old, but that didn't work for me. Although our issues do seem similar.

My hardware is an old PC, running an i5-8600K, booting from a SSD (formatted ZFS I believe), and a dual intel 10G NIC. I've been using this for over a year now, without any issues.

Hi,

After upgrading from 25.1.7_4 to 25.1.8_1, OPNsense fails to boot.

The boot sequence hangs indefinitely after it displays "masks 0x00ff0000, 0x0000ff00, 0x000000ff, 0xff000000".

However, if I go into boot options, and turn on verbose logging, it boots without any issue.

I also tried switching to kernel.old, but the boot sequence still hangs at the same point.

Thanks,

Keith

A feature which I currently use on ISC DHCPv4 is the ability to override the DNS Server setting in a Static Mapping.

Will this feature be added to KEA DHCPv4 in the future?
