Issue upgrading from 26.7.1_1 to latest release

[john79]

Anyone else had any issues upgrading and it not being anything already mentioned in the forum? Loading kernel.old doesnt help, only rebooting to a snapshot before upgrading to 26.7.2_2 get my Opnsense up and running again. I had set firmware setting to a specific mirror, but set it back to default and it still get kernel panic after trying to update again

This is what shows just before the kernel panic:

exec /sbin/init: error 8
init: not found in path /sbin/init:/sbin/oinit:/sbin/init.bak:/rescue/init
panic: no init
cpuid = 3

Looks like the "init" never materialised on the disk after extraction. It's not possible to recover from this.

Quickest way is to reinstall with the 26.7 image and use the importer to retain your old settings.

Thanks for the quick reply, reinstall and import old setting it is then

Just to confirm if anyone else run into the same. Suggested solution by franco solved it and up and running on latest version.
