Kernel Panic in 2.7.0

pfsss

@stephenw10 hi
after running command certctl rehash and png-static -d update I get the following hints

Newer FreeBSD version for package xxd:
To ignore this error set IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes
- package: 1400094
- running kernel: 1400085
Ignore the mismatch and continue? [y/N]: pkg-static: repository pfSense contains packages for wrong OS version: FreeBSD:14:amd64
Processing entries... done
Unable to update repository pfSense
Error updating repositories!

I think it is close to the right way

stephenw10

Yes, it must be seeing the pkgs to be able to throw that error so try to upgrade again.

@stephenw10
ok, I'm upgrading the system now. I wonder whether upgrading the system affects the packages I've installed. I have a Wireguard package installed in the 2.7.0 version os, after upgrading, it should be ok or I will reconfigured it? thanks~

stephenw10

Should be fine. The packages will be upgraded and the config retained.

@stephenw10
as your previous replys, how to do memtest, is there a simple instruction to run memtest? thanks

pfsss

@stephenw10 thanks to your guide, I've upgrade my os to 2.7.2 successfully! I'll watch whether the crash occurs again.

@stephenw10 sadly, the gateway crashes again few hours after upgrade. the crash information is

Hmm, same crash too. I would definitely run some passes through memtest to check the RAM.

pfsss

@stephenw10 I've run a memtest to the memory, report this

it is actually bad RAM!
thanks for your guides!

@stephenw10
excellent. Solved my issue with missing packages.
Up to this point I was getting:

After the rehash, this was fixed and the packages re-appeared in the GUI.
Many thanks.
