This message refers to a port that is installed as an upstream dependency but not even used by the os-cpu-microcode-intel plugin. This is not the cause of your issue. And it will just go away, eventually.

What seems to be causing all sorts of boot time freezes is the early loading of the microcode updates. Franco and team are working on it.

Ah, good to know. I appreciate the insight. Thank you.

Encountered this issue as well. Failed to upgrade with multiple attempts. Relied heavily on snapshots to recover.

In my case, I needed to remove plugins: os-cpu-microcode-intel, and os-realtek-re

Was able to successfully upgrade after all plugins were removed. Leaving these plugins uninstalled as I'm not sure they're relevant any longer.

After installing the os-cpu-microcode-intel plugin, there's a notice in the console output that states:

"This port is deprecated. Abandoned upstream, fails to identify anything remotely new according to upstream issue reports. It is scheduled to be removed on or after 2025-06-30."

Didn't reinstall the os-realtek-re plugin because I already have the FreeBSD realtek-re-kmod package installed. This is to provide support dual Realtek RTL8125 2.5GbE network adapters in the MeLE Quieter DL mini PC. The package automatically updated to the latest version with the upgrade to FreeBSD 15.

Hope this additional info is helpful.
