Unable to boot after update.

[AnnaRenee87]

Hello,

New here, registered to report this, I'm running on the latest Proxmox and OPNsense has been running fine for like... 5ish months?

When updating to the latest version of OPNsense I'm getting this error in the console and it never boots. (In Screenshot)


The version I tried to install is 25.7.8 (November 26, 2025)

I have backups of the VM so I just restored the VM.

I've attached a screenshot of what Plugins are installed too.

Thanks

EDIT/PS, VM has 6 Cores/Threads assigned to it and it's got 8GB of RAM.

Figured it out, Gonna leave this here in case someone Gogoles this one day and comes across this and no one ever responded or gave an answer.

Uninstall the "os-cpu-microcode-intel" plugin.

Booted right up.

That plugin is useless inside a VM, anyway. Any microcode updates for your CPU need to be done on the hypervisor host.
