OPNsense 26.7-BETA images

[Miguel Lopes]

The update replaces FreeBSD 14.3 with FreeBSD 15.1. There might be some change in the NVMe subsystem that does not work quite well with your hardware.

So what is the exact error message, please?

My hardware is a Hunsn box with a N5105 and 8GB Crucial. The NVme it's a cheap Patriot 128GB. It only says that it's reseting the NVME, and other times it bricks after the OPNsense menu. Just trying to instaling the current image right now :(

@Patrick M. Hausen Should I change to a normal ssd maybe ? I'm thinking when the final version get out I maybe still have problems with this nvme ?

You could just for curiosity boot a stock FreeBSD 15.1. I'd expect that to show the same behaviour.

Since even in the mid term the only way with releases is forward - if you have a spare device or the budget for another one, by all means give it a try.

- local hardware FW upgraded to 26.7.b. Rules not migrated. Traffic flows through the FW from vlans. NAT on hybrid. WireGuard server operational and allows me to connect to the FW mgmt but I don't have access to internet over WireGuard post upgrade - which sounds like a NAT issue
Interestingly IPsec works fine and I can remote into machines in various vlans.

This was fixed on RC1 with https://github.com/opnsense/core/commit/d35b281636be applied on top. Will be in RC2 this afternoon.

I will stay away from opnsense installs on NVMe's for now, as I've seen some issues with them on forums, particularly on freeBSD 15. It was just a pretty assemble on the box then a SSD for the same price. Also thank you Patrick for your attention.

But still, the Deciso DEC697 uses a 256GB NVMe. Any one knows the brand and model ?

For what it's worth, I upgraded from 26.1.11 to 26.7rc1 last night and had issues . I had to rollback. I just upgraded to rc2 and it worked straight away.
