      Re: 2.9.0 beta leads to kernel panic on boot

      I too just hit this or something very similar after upgrading to the PFSense+ 26.07 release just today.

      Due to the situation I couldn't get a copy of the kernel dump, but I've included my hardware details from a working reinstall of 26.03.1 below in case it helps.

      Next time I try an upgrade (hopefully this weekend) I'll try the workaround suggested above and report back.

      26.03.1 (working) Hardware Info

      # dmidecode 3.7
# SMBIOS entry point at 0x79dd2000
Found SMBIOS entry point in EFI, reading table from /dev/mem.
SMBIOS 3.0.0 present.
Table at 0x000EDA40.
