pfSense CE 2.8.0 upgrade stalls after reboot and gets stuck in Stage 2

If you're able to test further try setting
boot_verbose=YESin /boot/loader.conf.local.That should show you where it's actually hanging or not during the boot at each stage. In the normal boot you don't see any output after it mounts root until init starts.

i tried to install clean 2.7.2 then updated to 2.8.0 and during boot chose kernel.old
it started booting and updating to 2.8 (as mentioned before) but after reboot it's still stuck on the same spot, rebooting. so didn't help in my case -
Note: Updated the topic to include the fact that the issue was occurring during stage 2 of the upgrade.

something I learnt last week, was it seems the display for the console can freeze whilst the system carries on booting and working as normal.
No idea if it is happening here, but it is odd it stops on a video message.

@chrcoluk As stated above "Letting it sit trying to load for an hour" no effect. When this happened to me (and others) the entire system was completely locked up. Nothing but a hard reset would bring it back.

may be I go the issue we just nee dot reboot the firewall and select the old kernel and boot the firewall after boot it will reboot again and you can access the latest version of firewall which 2.8.0 I tried and it work for me.
