Upgrading to 16.7, known issues and workarounds
mmorev:
Hello. Just made a clean install and then upgraded to 16.7.13 through SSH. After reboot a console freezes right after displaying interface binding, but all services and ssh are ok. You can see in attached pictures. How I can fix a console?
thebraz:
Hello,
from the web interface ( System ---Administration ) have you already tried to set Primary Console to VGA console?

Worked, thanks! It was set to serial. But, upgrade procedure shouldn't change primary console, isn't it?
franco:
This was a latent bug in the GUI for years. It would save "serial" by default, even though the default in FreeBSD is "vga". I recently removed safe-guards around it for a cleaner primary/secondary console workflow and then this surfaced.
Note that factory resets or reinstalls are not affected by this at all. :)
Cheers,
Franco
