pfSense CE 2.8.0 upgrade stalls after reboot and gets stuck when loading

nvt-150

@i386DX Have any luck connecting a monitor?

i386DX

@nvt-150 nope, this was with a monitor connected to the vga port, I've not tried attaching to the dp output yet but I do not think it will make a difference.

@stephenw10 I managed to get the system to boot up correctly just by (I think) disabling the efi console at the bootloader prompt:
set console=comconsole
boot

Note that this hardware has virtual console port you can interact to by connecting ilo via ssh then running the VSP command.
I see serial console output until the 'Bootup complete' message, then there is no cli on virtual serial port, however i see the cli as usual on the vga screen and I can interact normally via both physical keyboard and ilo integrated remote console.
It was my understanding that console=comconsole would not provide a video console, but adding it to /boot/loader.conf.local fixed the problem for me.

Console output for reference

OK set console=comconsole
OK boot

You would also need to enable the comconsole in Sys > Adv > Admin Access to get the interactive console on serial.

That's interesting though. Definitely an efi console issue then.

drchanas

Clean install seems to work on Windows 2022 Gen2 VM. I will try and restore the 2.7 config and see where that goes.
Here is where it dies after 2.7 to 2.8 upgrade. Upgrade completes, reboot and this.

i386DX

@stephenw10 said in pfSense CE 2.8.0 upgrade stalls after reboot and gets stuck when loading:

That's interesting though. Definitely an efi console issue then.

I did a little bit more of testing and even FreeBSD-15.0-CURRENT-amd64 iso reboots just after reporting efi framebuffer information unless you switch efi console off and on at the bootloader prompt with

set console=comconsole
set console=efi
boot

or set it to dual console with

set console="comconsole,efi"
boot

so in the end I went with the latter and added it to loader.conf.local to make it stick across reboots.

stephenw10

You have to actually set something there? If you just boot from the loader prompt without any changes does it still fail?

i386DX

Yes, if I just run boot at the loader prompt it reboots

stephenw10

Reboots and fails I assume?

i386DX

if I don't manually set the console it just reboots continuously after displaying efi framebuffer information as reported in 1217329 and 1217156

crepsv

Hello,
same problem on DL360 G11.

Fresh Install 2.7.2 OK
Fresh install 2.8.0 or Upgrade 2.8.0 from 2.7.2 =>boot loop after this :

ZFS : RAID-Z1
UEFI Boot

i386DX

@crepsv does it start if you enter bootloader prompt (ESC during autoboot countdown) and setup console to run dual console with

set console="comconsole,efi"
boot

I have a couple of Gen11 machine but didn't have the time to check

crepsv

Freeze here :

stephenw10

Does it actually have a comconsole? Anything shown there?

Gertjan

@crepsv

Just guessing : Is this some special kind of Logitech keyboard ?
I'm trying to understand why the kernel wants to root mount from usbus0 - or do you have a USB drive attached somewhere ?

crepsv

I tried an USB keyboard attached on the server, that's all.
I usually use the iLO console on HPE server.

Maybe a problem to boot on the SSD (da0/da1/da2 in Raidz-1) disk from the raid controler ?

Does it eventually time out and show an error?

Does it still respond to keyboard input?

Seeing something appear to stall at that point always makes me check the other consoles to be sure it's not just switched there.

HPE Proliant microserver Gen10 +v2
upgrading from 2.7.2 to 2.8.0 - got same issue
fresh 2.8.0 install after that - same issue
for now installing 2.7.2 from scratch untill this issue is fixed...

Probably going to need more info here to be able to fix it. Nothing we test on does that.

@stephenw10
probably this is related to freebsd 15 as 2.7.2 installed no problem after that.
and upgrades 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 on virtual machines (xcp-ng) went smooth

@dave-opc said in pfSense CE 2.8.0 upgrade stalls after reboot and gets stuck when loading:

related to freebsd 15

Get a copy, and install a 'native FreeBSD 15' to find out ?
