Kernel panic after upgrade

[franco]

This is expected. When 19.1 was released 18.7 was discontinued and points to 19.1. Normally that is fine, sometimes we have to move the "19.1" that 18.7 sees to a higher release, but that happens without 18.7 noticing and the only way to fix this is to build new 18.7 releases which is not possible anymore.

The pledge is 19.1 or later. It also depends on your mirror.

Franco,

Thanks for the clarification! Would you like me to file a feature request in github for teaching opnsense's updater how to display multiple changelogs?

[franco]

Not without a technical discussion about how this would work in practice (major upgrades). The upgrade sets are symlinks and there's no way to know where they point to from an updating system.


Cheers,
Franco

Gotcha. Once I'm finished with the Hyper-V issues, I'll take a look at how opnsense's updater works and take the discussion private with some potential solutions for the team to discuss.

[franco]

Sounds good, thanks! :)

If you need someone to test an installation on windows server 2012r2 hyper-v, let me know.

Oh, I posted this in the wrong thread, see below.

@bimmeldriver yes please, installer may hang but CTRL+C should work around it ok.

So this is the preliminary amd64 ISO for 19.1.4. It can be used in production and upgrades normally...

https://pkg.opnsense.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/snapshots/OPNsense-19.1.4-OpenSSL-dvd-amd64.iso.bz2

All images, checksums and the announcement follow next week when we will have wrapped up testing image integrity for all other images (it takes about 2 days in total to do that).

Franco/Lattera,

I will dedicate a few VM's on my side to test upgrades and installs for 18.7 to 19.1 and 19.1 to 19.7 on the QEMU/KVM platform. Willing to help out as much as I can.

Let me know if the upgrade images are ready for 18.7 to 19.1.4 and I will test that also.

Not sure I have any "baremetal" equipment to use in testing except some old Dell's.

Thanks again.

Thank you very much! Your offer of assistance really means a lot to me. I've got a busy weekend as my wife has planned a few special events. I'll likely get back to tracking down the kernel NX bug seen mostly on Hyper-V systems and some Dell systems on Tuesday of next week. Each time I build a new HardenedBSD 11-stable ISO, I will let you know for your own testing. All I need to know is if it boots to the installer, no need to actually perform the install. I can also upload a memstick image so you don't have to dust off dvd discs. ;)

I created a new generation 2 vm from scratch using this iso. I had to interrupt the installer twice using <CTRL-C>. The first time was at the selection of guided installation. The second time was to accept the recommendation for the swap partition. I had previously saved the configuration from a different opnsense vm and it restored with no problems. Both IPv4 / dhcpv4 and IPv6 / dhcpv6 working. Looks good based on my testing.

First I want to say thanks for all the hard work put into this outstanding software!

I downloaded the ISO and burned it to a DVD.  When I boot from the DVD, it reboots over and over.  It does load the Kernel modules and then shows Booting.  The screen refreshes and looks like it is starting up and then that is when the computer restarts.  I even tried the Safe Mode and that didn't help.

The DVD Reader isn't that old while my Motherboard, Processor and RAM are.
Motherboard:  ASUS M4A785-M
Processor:  AMD Athlon II X2 245 Speed 2900Mhz
RAM: 8GB

The bios on the Motherboard is up to date.

Thanks,
Charles

I believe setting `vm.pmap.pti=0` at the boot prompt will solve your boot loop issue. Once your system is booted, you can set that permanently via the GUI or via manual edit of /boot/loader.conf.local

On the menu I pressed 3 for Escape to loader prompt and entered vm.pmap.pti=0 and it said not found.
I even tried menu 6 Configure Boot Options but nothing is there about vm.pmap.pti=0

[lattera]

When you're at the boot prompt (after selecting option 3), type this in:

set vm.pmap.pti="0"
boot

set vm.pmap.pti="0"
boot

That worked perfectly!   What is that setting for?
