      After a reboot to apply upgrades from ubuntu pfsense no longer boots it gets stuck on "booting..." i tried adding the "kern.vty=sc" still same issue, i also tried installing a new vm with pfsense but booting from pfsense iso image gets me the same result.

      Other vm's are fine though i have not other ones that also use FreeBSD.

      i have been running pfsense 2.4.4-p3 for months (since it got released) this started right after a ubuntu upgrade which contained packages called qemu.

      I am at a loss... could really use some help here.
