I thought I'd share a related experience, though I didn't experience a direct crash. I have a CWWK S7 Pro (Intel N150) that was running 26.1.10_11. I had no issues with the `os-cpu-microcode-intel` package until attempting the upgrade to 26.7.
After rebooting, the upgrade process would start and then fail (log snippet below). I ended up power cycling the device, as I had no KVM connected to it. This left the system in an odd state where it was running the 15.1 kernel, but the OPNsense version was still showing as 26.1.10.
I ended up removing the `os-cpu-microcode-intel` package and then running `opnsense-update -u` from the command line. The normal upgrade process was just reporting "nothing to do."
