Hello!

 

I have been putting off updating to 6.10.3 out of sheer laziness and finally decided to pull the trigger today. 

 

I updated from within the GUI using the OS Update function in the Tools section. Update installed, reboot and I hit a Kernel Panic before I see USB devices or disks (sda,sdb etc) start loading.

Unfortunately the content on the screen is moving too fast for me to tell what step the kernel panic is happening on.

 

I wiped my USB drive and performed a clean install using the USB Creator tool of 6.10.3 just to rule out some issue with my config. I tried booting in Safe Mode, No GUI, Yes GUI, etc. Same issue no matter what.

 

I restored a backup of 6.9.2 and the server is back up and running properly.

 

What can I do to troubleshoot the failed boot on 6.10.3?

Diagnostics bundle from after restore of 6.9.2 in case it helps

I would try a clean install with a different USB just to see if it boots, also look for a BIOS update and/or try both CSM and UEFI boot.

Overdue update - today I created a USB and was able to do a clean install boot to 6.11.0

 

I wiped the drive, tried 6.10.3 and had the same issue.

 

I just upgraded from 6.9.2 -> 6.11.0 and that seems to have gone fine.

 

I'm not sure what about my hardware is unhappy with 6.10.X though.
