      @stephenw10 Sounds like at the moment, if you use an HP server in UEFI mode, don't update to the new release, or it's going to break.

      I use a lot of HPE servers, so happy to test any possible fixes if desired. I will not update any more of my HP based PFsense installs til a fix is found..

            @WB3FFV I tried to update to 25.07.01, and it once again fails to boot

              Yup, that looks like the same issue. Try booting legacy to confirm.

                @stephenw10 I did update a system to the current version having loaded it as BIOS, and it was fine. Are you asking to take a UEFI loaded system, and just changing it from UEFI to BIOS and see what happens?

                I didn't think I could just jump from one to the other. For sure this seems to affect all HPE systems that support UEFI..

                  @WB3FFV I didn't try to adjust the BIOS; perhaps I will try this next. I've never had to change the BIOS in the past.

                    pfSense can usually boot both unless it was installed a while ago (years). It should be pretty obvious if there's nothing bootable in legacy mode.
