26.7.1_1 -> 26.7.2 Boot loop

[you]

I just updated an intel nic only device w/o any problem too. And yes: services widget looks nice now :D

This is only true for the main mirror at the moment: if you want to force a reinstall use this:

# opnsense-update -fbkr 26.7.2

The realtek plugin should work again afterwards.  But still curious there was a second panic unrelated to realtek...

hi,

i did that and enabled the realtek plugin. box is booting but no ip adresses are given to the 2 realtek nics. even after adding new ip adresses via shell, they still remain empty and box is unreachable. any hints?

regards

I too had the boot loop and was able to disable an onboard Realtek (it was enabled but not in use).  I had removed the Realtek plugin before this attempt and still had the boot loop.  I've been using a dual Intel NIC as my primary card.  This did allow a successful boot; however, the interface names had changed and the IP changed.  A quick reconfiguration by adding the IP I had originally and deleting/reconfiguring the DHCP which had the wrong interface name got everything going.  Reviewing everything now to see if all else is OK...
Edit - Using Intel(R) PRO/1000 82576 Dual NIC

There is no spin lock message in @axsdenied panic - probably because 'ifconfig' wasn't trying to bring up the interface.

opnsense-update -fbkr 26.7.2

Performed this update - it took quite a while to download.

Rebooted and then installed the os-realtek plugin and then rebooted again.

There is no kernel panic and nor does the Realtek plugin driver work.

Some observations with the Realtek plugin:

- During initialisation the Realtek interface (re0) link state change is not reported

Initializing..........done.
igb0: link state changed to UP
igb1: link state changed to UP
igb2: link state changed to UP
igb3: link state changed to UP
em0: link state changed to UP
Starting device manager...acpi_wmi0: <ACPI-WMI mapping> on acpi0

- I don't know what [egress only] really means.

setup igb3
setup igb1
setup re0 [egress only]
Network UPS Tools upsdrvctl - UPS driver controller 2.8.5 release

[Update] The Realtek plugin driver doesn't support 'Promiscuous' mode;
tcpdump -ni re0
tcpdump: WARNING: re0: That device doesn't support promiscuous mode
(BIOCPROMISC: Unknown error: 166225792)


For now, the os-realtek plugin is unusable.

Does it work when doing the following?

# opnsense-revert -r 26.7.1 realtek-re-kmod

# opnsense-revert -r 26.7.1 realtek-re-kmod

It appears for this to work the Realtek driver needs to already be installed. This is the NIC which connects me to the Internet, which means I won't have connectivity to the internet to revert the driver.

Can I perform an off-line installation of the driver?

[bluescreen154]

# opnsense-revert -r 26.7.1 realtek-re-kmod

this worked for me

% sudo opnsense-revert -r 26.7.1 realtek-re-kmod
Package 'realtek-re-kmod' is not installed

I can't establish an Internet connection using the plugin. The command above was issued after removing the plugin and establishing a connection to the Internet using the FreeBSD version of the Realtek driver.

Thanks Franco.

I've managed to revert the driver and I'm back up and running.

Just one other observation when I power off my system, I am getting this EFI related message on the serial console.
