21.7 Boot hang at “Configuring VLAN interfaces...” with imported 21.1 config

[athurdent]

Thanks Franco!

Just updated fine using the default repo. Not using VLANs but Sensei is also not affected by the igb anymore problem it seems.
No more hangs on my Proxmox KVM with pass-through igb interface.

Thanks for the feedback. I will take this to FreeBSD next week so the changes can either be reworked or pulled from their stable branches.

Same for me, I've updated the fw1 device without any issue using the default repository.  This machine has been untouched during all the prior testing.  I failed services from fw2 -> fw1 without any problems.

Thank you, and have a great day!

Using the default and dns-root repos all I can see is:

Should it reflect 21.7.1 for the kernel instead once the updated package is propagated?

[franco]

Only after 21.7.1 was released. For now we replaced the 21.7 kernel for triage. Every mirror should have the good copy now.

Please disregard, read a few posts back and I'm good.

With the new kernel, just to confirm beyond any reasonable level of doubt, the tunables for MSI-X interrupts are NOT needed, right?

[franco]

Yes, reinstall 21.7 kernel and check from shell after reboot:

# uname -v
FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p19-HBSD  f692db99f3c(stable/21.7) SMP

If you see this it's safe to remove the tunables and reboot again.

Can the updated 21.7 kernel be installed with:

opnsense-update -krf 21.7

I have currently booted with old_kernel and have not applied the msi-x tunables.

[blblblb]

Can confirm:

# uname -v
FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p19-HBSD  f692db99f3c(stable/21.7) SMP

Is fully functional and without any issues so far, on a system with a Chelsio SFP+ adapter and ix interfaces ("new" igbe driver, Denverton built-in NICs).

I just updated through the UI after Franco confirmed the mirrors have the updated kernel package propagated.

Excellent work and thank you for all the help!

[franco]

opnsense-update -krf 21.7

Yes that works. Note that -r 21.7 is the default so you only really need -kf

Anyone willing to deliver a CTRL+T on the VLAN configuration hang during boot? We may need more elaborate information still but don't yet know how to do that remotely.


Thanks,

I don't mind, but now that my kernels are updated from repo, you'd have to tell me how to downgrade to reboot and catch it.
