SOLVED SCALE 22.02.4 -> 22.12 Boot Stuck

[Conor Calby]

Hi All,
I have just applied an update to my TrueNAS Scale, moving from 22.02.4 to 22.12.0.
The server will no longer boot - stuck on this output for the past 2 hours.

(P.S. The time to even boot into the upgrade was insane!)

Code:

Hardware:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500 AM4
PSU:Can't remember, but working.
Motherboard: MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK DDR4 ATX
Graphics Card: Radeon RX 550 4GB Graphics Card GDDR5
RAM: Kingston FURY Beast 16GB (2 x 8GB) 3200MHz DDR4 RAM
Hard Drives: 1x 120GB SSD (boot-pool), 3x 3TB drives (Raid-z1), 1x 250GB SSD (ix-applications)

Any suggestions or causes?

Interrupt the boot process and select the previous (22.04) boot environment.

Same issue I'm afraid @sretalla (same output and hang - including message it's updating).
Will try and reinstall 22.02.4 and then attempt upgrade again.

If you're going to reinstall... just install the new version and restore your config on that.

Resolved.

Downloaded 22.12.0 and burned to USB.
Fresh install (inc. format boot SSD drive).
22.12.0 loaded with no problems.

Imported old config.
Still working.

Disabled "Enable Serial Console" as per:

Extremely slow boot seemingly hangs on Started Journal Service using ssd (no usb; no hdd) fresh install of 22.12.0 scale

I appear to be tripping over a boot issue in Truenas scale 22.12.0 that apparently wasn't present in 22.02.4. High level issue description: 10-20 seconds into the boot process (after Linux kernel launch), boot becomes sluggish: Boot process being output to screen stops taking milliseconds and...
