Upgrading 24.1.10 to 24.7: kernel panic and reset (SYS-E300-9A-4C test setup)

[nd2420]

# opnsense-update -ukr 24.7.8 -a FreeBSD:14:amd64 -A 24.7
# opnsense-update -ubp -A 24.1

so the first command worked much better, i saw it download the 24.7.8 packages this time.

i then ran the 2nd command without rebooting in between

after the 2nd command completed i then rebooted properly from the console menu.

------------

after the reboot it was showing booted into 24.7 not 24.7.8 on the main console screen.

is it normal that it is running 24.7.8 kernel, but still showing 24.7 until i do another round of updates ?

Yes:

@nd2420

>>> # opnsense-update -ubp -A 24.1

I suspect this was a typo: 24.1 is nonsensical, should be 24.7 instead since you need to upgrade base and packages built for 24.7.x

[franco]

Since -A is a persistent operation after grabbing the kernel from -A 24.7 we need to switch back to -A 24.1 to get the actual upgrade set link from 24.1's perspective, which may be newer than from -A 24.7 due to upgrade pinning (e.g. the packages go to 24.7.1 as far as I remember). It's not a day to day task.
