Yes, I started upgrade from WebUI and from the moment it went to reboot, I waited 35-40 minutes. I tought that it is way too long (isn't it ?). To restart the box I pulled power cable for and waited 10 seconds, then put it back. System booted to current state. I did not have VGA monitor available or I did not follow the process via SSH.

Shall I log via SSH and start with opnsense-update -up command ?

I have 4GB of memory. What is OOM issue (googled - out of memory ? no idea...) ?

EDIT: could not resist and went for it... all OK. Only issue was me being impatient. As seen on upgrade log, I pulled the plug on package 173 out of 175, this time I gave 5 minutes more (40+ minutes total) and it upgraded as it should. Considering my usual luck, its no miracle... I guess this is normal update time for such a old box.

Thank you for holding my hand !

EDIT2: I also attached VGA and monitored the boot. It takes long time to configuring OPT1, OPT2 and OPT3 (few minutes each). I have bridged them together as switch. Is it normal ? Something I can tune to speed it up ?

Here we go:

To avoid confusion - I'm the OP and my Terra G2 box has Via Nano CPU and no microcode package is installed !

I attached Audit output file. As you can see kernel and base system are reported already 25.7, I did not notice this before. But Status page shows:

Hello, complete noob and first time poster here ! I'm happy to join Opnsense community !

Got Black Dwarf Terra G2 box some weeks ago with 25.1 on it. Got everything up and running rather fast and smoothly. I have no fancy configuration, but also using Wifi AP (Atheros) on it (due Chromecast). All fine. Upgraded smoothly to 25.1.12, also installed os-realtek plugin/driver as my box has RTL8xxx cards on it. Run even system audit. All OK.

Today I tried to upgrade to 25.7 via webgui - everything downloaded fine, initial checks were OK. Last line on webgui console window was !!!ATTENTION!!! but I do not know what came after that, as box went to reboot.

I waited 30-40 mins but box never came up again. Then I lost my patience and re-plugged power cord. It booted fine, but I'm still on 25.1.12. Everything seems to work as I'm posting this. No traces of upgrade. How can I check what (if any) is the error ? I have no console options available right now and all LOG files start with current (successful) boot.
