Forum members,
I initiated a system update from TrueNAS-24.10.0.2 → TrueNAS-24.10.2 and it has been sitting at “Updating initramfs” for over an hour, something it has never done before. The TrueNAS server is still running fine and such.
What does anyone recommend I do?
How do I abort the upgrade?
What might I have to do to get it to work when initiated again?
Thanks!
Stuart
Same here.
Stuck at updating from 24.10.1 to 24.10.2.
Hangs at 90% update with “Update initramfs”.
Tried to reboot and start again - no changes. Stuck and hangup.
After reset there are a new boot line appears with 24.10.2 option, but it doesn’t boot - goes to blackbox.
And while update - it hangs completely - no ping, no reaction.
You can try booting to the previous boot environment. Is your boot pool healthy and have enough free space?
You can try running the update again from the previous version. If it is still giving you problems, post back with your hardware details or use the Feedback / Report A Bug (smile icon on upper right of TrueNAS GUI) and attach the dump to your ticket. Probably will only be able to do report and dump from previous version since you both get stuck.
Another option is to get the configuration backup file with secret seed, if needed, and do a clean install to your boot device using the latest Scale ISO. After, you upload your saved config file and you should be back to running.
Yesm previous install is alive and capable to boot, but starting update again
doesn’t work it stuck again same place. Tried to enable kernel debug but there no any sign of error. Kernel.log is empty and ends at squashfs unpacking.
Will try clean install and import config file.
I was hoping there would be something in the dump for iX Systems to look at.
You can try running something like Memtest 86 if you think it may be a problem with RAM
SmallBarky,
When I realized that the update was stuck (it does not take 3-4 hours to build an initramfs), I went into the System → Boot menu and selected 24.10.0.2 as my boot environment upon next boot.
I was then able to reboot the server back to the 24.10.0.2 environment. Thereafter, I deleted the new 24.10.2 boot environment and executed the upgrade a second time. As far as I was concerned I did not do anything materially different that time, but the upgrade did complete installing and I was then able to reboot into the 24.10.2 environment.
This was my experience, so perhaps booting to the previous environment, deleting the new boot environment and starting over might work, it did for me.
Good luck!
Stuart
