Hi all,
I am struggling to get my system updating to 25.04. I am running the 25.04-RC1 without issues. Whenever I try to update, I get a kernel panic.
I can, however, reset then and boot into the 25.04 with debugging from GRUB. This works, but is not a solution.
I have also tried with a .upgrade file, doing the update manually. Same result.
Booting back into RC1, deleting the 25.04 boot environment completely and re-applying the update. Same result.
Not sure what else to try. Any ideas?
My system is running in a Proxmox VM.
Thanks,
D
same exact behaviour coming from 24.04 . It also works as you in debug mode.
Are you maybe virtualizing truenas like in proxmox or bare metal? I am on proxmox
Yes. My TrueNAS instance is running inside a Proxmox VM. Been like that for years.
I’ve still not found a solution. Hoping the point release later this month might fix it.
I’m currently stuck on the RC.
Check of your boot-pool Is Degraded by issuing a sudo zpool status -v
Yeah it is. I don’t know why. And its been like this for a while.
pool: boot-pool
state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices has experienced an unrecoverable error. An
attempt was made to correct the error. Applications are unaffected.
action: Determine if the device needs to be replaced, and clear the errors
using 'zpool clear' or replace the device with 'zpool replace'.
see: https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/msg/ZFS-8000-9P
scan: scrub repaired 0B in 00:00:09 with 0 errors on Mon May 5 03:45:11 2025
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
boot-pool DEGRADED 0 0 0
sda3 DEGRADED 0 0 0 too many errors
My bool pool also shows as being exported.
I haven’t tried using the replace. I’m worried it might break stuff even more.
Since you are on proxmox you can always make a backup and revert back. i’m also trying to solve this at this moment
Since you guys are using inside a VM, why not just create a new VM with the new software and migrate the config? I’m new to TrueNAS so not sure if backing up a config and restoring is difficult, just speaking from previous “other” software experience
yeah but i’m lazy , so i found a solution for now 
Yeah, I have taken some snapshots, and also a full backup with PBS.
It’s just the hassle of setting some time aside to do it, and dealing with the potential downtime.
Creating a new VM would be the nuclear option I suppose. But again, hassle, downtime, stress etc.
