Issue installing latest pfSense Plus (24.03 release)
-
@olivierlambert I changed the memory settings like this
I'm going to proceed with the upgrade and post the outcome
-
Perfect, keep us posted!
-
The same error
-
Is there a way we can test that ISO? It's hard to reproduce if we don't have any way to test it here or in the community
-
@olivierlambert let me talk to Netgate support and work some way out

Googling the error "supervisor read data page not present" gives a lot of hints towards bad memory, are you using ECC or non ECC?
-
The Dell R620 (Intel):
# dmidecode -t memory | grep -i "ecc" Error Correction Type: Multi-bit ECCThe lab AMD Razor
# dmidecode -t memory | grep -i "ecc" #One server has ECC memory, the other doesn't. I believe it would be a very odd case of having "bad memory" on two completely different instances, and the fault being exactly the same on the different machines ... but as I said, this is not my area of expertise.

@Affonso I had a problem upgrading OPNsense to 24.7 which uses FreeBSD 14 using XCP 8.2.1
OPNsense had a kernel crash related to Xen using some FreeBSD kernel options. OPNsense was able to update their kernel to resolve the crash issue.
It was a OPNsense/FreeBSD issue, not a XCP issue. It has been resolved.
Here's the OPNsense github issue. I don't know if it's related.

Thank you @Andrew I will mention this to pfSense. lets hope
-
So just to give a quick update on how this went:
Since pfSense 24.03 is based on FreeBSD 15 I proceeded with a FreeBSD 15 installation on XCP-ng to see if the issue stemmed from there. FreeBSD15 installed and booted correctly.
From there I ended up testing the development snapshot 24.08.
Also installed correctly and booted.So whatever issue was there between pfSense 24.03 and XCP-ng that was preventing it from booting, was only present on version 24.03.

@Affonso Looks like it might have been Bug 15684 in 24.03 that was resolved for 24.11 (release notes).
