Proxmox Internal Error after upgrade from 22.7.6

[w9hdg]

Good Evening Everyone,

I am running Opnsense inside a Proxmox VM with a dual port Intel NIC passed through to the VM. I tried to install the update from 22.7.4 to 22.7.6 several times now and each time I do the update appears to complete and in the course of rebooting the whole thing stops responding and I see a yellow triangle next to the VM name which when I hover over it gives me a little textbox that says "Internal Error". I cannot boot the VM without restoring a backup I took prior to the upgrade which effectively rolls me back to 22.7.4

I'm having another issue involving IDS but I'll save that for another thread once I get this upgrade working. I would prefer not to build a new VM and install a fresh copy of Opnsense. I could if I have to but I'm hoping I don't.

Anyway thank you for your thoughts!

- Take a backup of your running OPNsense 22.7.4 (System: Configuration: Backups).
- Then create a fresh/new OPNsense 22.7.6 vm (from iso)
- Restore the 22.7.4 backup file into 22.7.6
- Reboot & check

Good call, don't know why I didn't think of that. Only instead of making a new VM I just did a fresh install like you would if it was bare metal because I can always still restore from backup.

Not only was I able to successfully upgrade to 22.7.6, my RAM utilization fell off the face of the earth. I was at 94% utilization of 8GB, now I'm at 7%. Seems to me like I ended up with a corrupted install somewhere down the line.

Now to see if maybe my IDS/IPS issues are resolved through the fresh install as well.

Thanks
