UPDATE
This thread was started with 21.7-RC1 but applies to the 21.7-RELEAS (2021-07-29) version as well.
Not only new installs, but also upgrades with VLANs on LAGG interfaces seem to be affected.
Summary:
When importing an existing OPNsense 21.1.7_1 config into a freshly installed 21.7-RC1 config (on different Hardware) the system hangs during reboot at "Configuring VLAN interfaces..." forever.
Steps to Reproduce:
Expected Results:
I'd expect the import to automatically reassign the interfaces according to their names.
Match old igb0 to new igb0. (Same name, different MAC) and so on.
This is in fact the behaviour I actually see happen flawlessly when trying the same migration from 21.1.7_1 on the old hardware to 21.1 on the new hardware. It just works, and works as I had hoped for.
Actual Results:
When importing the same file exported on 21.1.7_1 on the old hardware into 21.7-RC1 on the new hardware the system hangs at the first reboot (and all subsequent reboots).
No errors are shown.
Regression:
The hardware change works *perfectly* fine (it's almost boring) when importing that same file from 21.1.7_1 into 21.1 on the new hardware.
System boots up as expected and automagically assigns all the NICs correctly.
Notes:
I've also tried to import the config into 21.1 on the new hardware, export it again into a fresh file. Which would basically resemble having the same hardware reinstalled and reimporting an existing config dump from that exact hardware.
This results in the same problem.
Version Information:
Old hardware: 21.1.7_1
New hardware: 21.1 and 21.7-RC1 tested
Is there anything else I could have missed during these tests? Any obvious mistakes I've overlooked while covering my ears from the fan noise on my desk?
You input is much appreciated.

Summary:
When importing an existing OPNsense 21.1.7_1 config into a freshly installed 21.7-RC1 config (on different Hardware) the system hangs during reboot at "Configuring VLAN interfaces..." forever.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Production firewall: OPNsense 21.1.7_1 on intel Atom C2758 with 8 x i350 (igb0-3 on PCIe NIC, igb4-7 onboard) Only igb0-3 are in use!
- Export Config file as usual with all sections.
- Install 21.7-RC1 on new Hardware (Xeon-D 2143, 4 x i350 (igb0-3), 4 x X772(ixl0-3))
- Import config from the old firewall
- reboot
- See boot hang at configuring VLANs.
