25.7 upgrade issue

Upgraded via WebUI, everything seems fine so far.

I've had a few issues.

First, I needed to change UEFI settings to legacy in BIOS, otherwise the router hung on reboot (25.1.12 was booting fine).

Now, after a reboot the machine hangs right after the microcode is reinstalled with "Reloading firmware configuration." I can force a reboot but am in an intermediate state (kernel 14.3, but still Opnsense 25.1.12)

opnsense-update -ur 25.7 -a 25.7

If the file system is showing errors pre-upgrade for valid reasons I highly recommend not forcing it to upgrade without a disaster plan.


Cheers,
Franco

I understand, however, just me and my mom on this router.  worse comes to worse, i'll spool up the backup VM.  There was nothing I could do.  An audit fixed some stuff, but there was no upgrade path moving forward and i had to force an upgrade.  it did work without a hitch.

Uninstall microcode, upgrade, reinstall microcode. Had the same issue. (Intel)

That did it, thanks!

Same issue here except my box doesn't have legacy boot capability.

Guess I am stuck on 25.1.12 until I'm ready to do a fresh install.. not sure why this update isn't UEFI compatible
