Good catch, will fire that off here in a few.

I kind of doubt it, but dumber things have happened!

I have still not found any way to get this to boot.

I'm not sure what is broken in the 24.7 release since FreeBSD seems fine on the hardware.

That is present in the hwprobe upload.

Appreciate the help atleast :)

Thanks sir!

Fresh install, it freezes at the same point during the boot process from the USB stick.

I cant even get to the config import or anything.

That's exactly what I was hoping to be shown but unfortunately I can't spot the problem. Maybe others can.
Meantime I'd like to suggest to use another media method if you can. I imagine you are using Drac to mount the iso for upgrade. I'd suggest trying using something else. Like a physical media on the server. USB stick for instance.
But maybe I fail to understand. Does the upgrade actually finish?

Unfortunately, I have tried using a few different USB sticks, idrac, verified the hashes, etc of the fresh install media, but no changes. I just tried toggling a ton of things on/off in bios, to no avail as well.

Out of curiosity, i also tried latest PFSense that is based on FreeBSD14 and it worked fine.

Attached a screenshot of what the upgrade does. This is for the first reboot, when it tries to boot its stuck at the same point.

I left it trying to boot while I was out of town for a few days, and it definitely didn't go anywhere.

That is from it when running 24.1.10, which installed and ran fine.

Also retried the upgrade, after first reboot same thing as before.
Also tried a fresh install from USB, still stops at the same point.

I'm happy to take a look, and yea there is nothing in any PCI slots. Ive disabled everything I could in the bios as well trying to see if I could get it to boot.

If you can let me know what you are looking for I can try to get it done. I can also reinstall the previous release to get it to boot, so I can get in.

On 24.7 it just freezes right there and I cannot get it to do anything, so I haven't even been able to get a shell to poke around and see if there was any logs.

Its a Dell T710, https://i.dell.com/sites/csdocuments/Shared-Content_data-Sheets_Documents/en/T710-SpecSheet.pdf is the specsheet, if it helps.

As an update, I have tried fiddling with tons of bios options, removing NIC's etc, and still not been able to figure out anything or force an error that could actually get me anywhere.

Hello,

After trying to upgrade, on my Dell T710, I cannot get it to boot.

It just gets stuck, with no errors that I can tell. Any ideas what might cause this?

Attached is the picture of what I see.
