@olivierlambert Congrats you guys are expanding!

Always have appreciated everyone help here and a great community of users.

@stormi after the update it seem to work well for me. Well the update from edk2 at least is working now. Haven't tried the iso.

Hello all,

Not sure it this is something specific to this update on (8.3beta 12/21/2023 release update) or not but did anyone else run into pfsense 2.7.1 having the VM not doing the autoboot countdown on startup screen after update? Apparently my node has this problem. I have to manually press the enter button to continue from startup screen...

Unless I accidently change the console keyboard from XOA setting somehow? I always use SSH to do all my stuff but if there is anyway to type in directly from console would be nicer

Screen it is stuck on until enter is pressed.

Reason i suspect it is XCP-ng is because there was no change before xcp-ng update (8.3beta 12/21/2023 release update) and when i revert vm to older version of the snapshot it has same problem. Really weird...

FYI all other VM didn't have this problem as they autoboot up normally.

@lkernan Ahh ic let me double check. Thanks hopefully that is the case.

Ok the linked partner was the issue. Thanks for clarifying that issue makes total sense now

Wow this great news and amazing work!!!

@stormi
Good things I notice on the new beta2-test3 iso:

• "efi: EFI_MEMMAP is not enabled" used to take minutes is now down to 30 sec
• host joins other host or pool really quickly (it sometime takes forever or doesn't work for me before until I manually toggle disconnect and reconnect) (hosts in pool always work fine but hosts from different pool was slow previously not sure why when they all start up at the same time is usually the issue especially when network is up slower than the hosts. I assume host search timeout before network is up.)
• UEFI is definitely fixed now

All good feedback. No drawback yet.

Also when is NFS v4 available believe it was end of 1st quarter (March???) from what i heard is that still true?

Thanks otherwise it is good on my short test so far.

@exetico it didnt break for me lol and all 4 of my xcp-ng and multiple pfsense VMs
