Kernel panic after upgrade

[RGijsen]

I'm a peaceful person however as an enterprise user it amazes me the quantity of bashers and shills in this forum. (Almost same rethoric as pfsense decadent times)

First of all everyone is free to choose what is necessary to deliver the job.

Coming from Cisco and Dell background, spending 15000€ per device in useless hardware for many years because of the BIG brand and BIG things and the BIG names, still useless for the price TAG.

Second this is an open source, community fuelled project, actually one of the best projects in terms of performance and features globally available.

If one is hurt about these bugs, please open your wallet and buy the iPhone of firewalls, CISCO, PALO ALTO, Fortigate and so on and be happy.

No one can demand or snow flake around because there is a bug, I've been running enterprise hardware from Deciso moving away from Cisco and never once been disappointed. Franco helped many times fixed bugs, and as an active user contributed many times monetarily to the project and will continue to do so, because it pays the bills around here.

Also running dozens of virtual workloads, from time to time there is a bug here and there, however one is responsible for the R&D and as AD mentioned, also planning proper upgrade procedures and regressions is the user responsibility.

No serious enterprise company sysadmin cries around because there is a bug in this or that open source project, maybe is fine crying around when Cisco fails, or palo alto but not open source.

To conclude, this projects saved thousands of pounds to many organizations across the scene and this types of toxic comments undermine the project vision, so no point escalating it going further.

I totally agree on that. But I still feel some of the devs could be more professional in their communication as well. Of course, it's their project, but if you disagree on something you are immediately labeled a pain in the @ss, bullied away, 'feel free to use another software', 'we don't click', we don't get paid, we don't have hardware, get banned, or whatever has passed in the last days. It's their project, but that doesn't mean they need to act like a God or something. People say things in the heat, probably we all do. But especially the admins / devs could be a bit more open minded as well, they are more or less an advocate for the atmosphere on the forum. It's what killed so many open source projects before. Don't let that happen again.

Just my 2 cents.

I disagree. Two users snapped because I said this:

Please sponsor the project if you feel we're not doing enough. <3

Everything went downwards from there orchestrated by the two users who snapped.

If you want to be treated professionally, treat others like you want to be treated.


Cheers,
Franco

I have this Kernel panic issue as well and watching the thread.  I'd be happy to try the debug version or whatever special release you want to provide that might help us with this issue.  My documentation on the panic thus far is at https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=11767.0 if it helps.

I really appreciate franco's and AdSchellevis work on this project.  Even more so now as it sounds like it's voluntary.  As much time as franco puts into the project, I thought it was his day job working for Deciso and building Opnsense.  If not, it totally should be.  It takes a lot of love and passion to work on something like this for an extended period.  Thanks to all those involved and our friends, like lattera, working on HardenedBSD.

  Success 

ISO image booted without issues.

Clean install and a boot from EFI firmware to HDD without issues. 

Well done team!!!

Hi,
also on a bare metal box with uefi only boot the image  works.
The machine is booting like a charm. 

Good work guys.

I totally agree on that. But I still feel some of the devs could be more professional in their communication as well.

If I've made a mistake in my community interactions, please let me know. I'd like to learn from the experience in order to serve the community better. Life is a journey, mistakes are made, and hopefully learned from.

You've made no mistakes, neither has Franco.. Keep up the good work.

thx Franco
successfully booted on Hyper-V 9.0 (MS Server 2019) !

[franco]

Good, thank you for testing this so quickly. The core team discussed this internally and we have an accelerated plan of action for 19.1.4 next week:

1. Release the bad commit revert in a new kernel to restore the previous behaviour for everyone.
2. Change the upgrade paths to the new 19.1.4 for the 18.7 major upgrades one or two days after the 19.1.4 release.
3. Release new images based on 19.1.4 in the following week.
4. Rework the bad patch further to make it work for everyone and release it in a subsequent 19.1.x update together with the Netmap rework. This will require new test image runs with user participation. The time frame for this is very roughly April/May.

All further confirmations or new problem reports arising from the test image are welcome.

I hope this episode shows that we don't always get it 100% right but with a reasonable amount of patience and a level head we can move past almost anything together.


Cheers,
Franco

SUCCESS!!

Booted successfully a new Hyper-V VM Gen 2 with the updated ISO.

Fantastic work all round team. Thanks so much for continuously dedicating your time to solving these issues.
I can now continue with my plan of having OPNsense running as a virtual appliance, reducing my hardware footprint and applying more resource to OPNsense.

Really appreciate the way OPNsense worked with HardenedBSD on this one.

Thanks again all!!

EDIT:  Using Windows Server 2019 Std and as such creating Version 9 Hyper-V VM's

[bimmerdriver]

What version of windows server did you use? I have 2012R2. I can test tonight or tomorrow if required.

We're humans, we make mistakes occasionally. This also shows the importance of crowd testing beta and release candidates.
