14.1 upgrade no issues on 3 machines

i upgraded 3 machines from 14.0-p6 to 14.1 with no issues

Macbook Air 2011 - 11 inch with 4 gig of ram
Macbook Pro Retina 2015 - 13 inch 8 gig of ram
Dell XPS 15 - 15 inch 16 gig of ram

I use pfsense of my router with the suricata ids
which got triggered when i was doing the upgrade and fetching all the updates

took me a while to figure out why the freebsd upgrade kept failing
so i disabled suricata on pfsense and that fixed the issue

just thought id mention it in case anyone else was running pfsense and suricata

on the Macbook Pro Retina Firefox 127 crashes for me on youtube
looks like this bug might be the issue


the upgrade process

create a new boot environment

Code:
beadm create 14.1

activate the new boot environment

Code:
beadm activate 14.1

reboot

switch to root

Code:
su

fetch and install latest upgrades

Code:
freebsd-update fetch
freebsd-update install

upgrade to 14.1

Code:
freebsd-update -r 14.1-RELEASE upgrade

freebsd-update install

Code:
freebsd-update install

reboot

switch to root

Code:
su

run freebsd-update install

Code:
freebsd-update install

reboot again

check the freebsd version

Code:
freebsd-version -kru

should output

Code:
14.1-RELEASE
14.1-RELEASE
14.1-RELEASE

i use poudriere to build the linux-widevine-cdm port to enable drm playback with chromium
rather than upgrading the jail i followed Sir Dice's advice (always a good idea) and just destroyed the poudriere jail

Code:
sudo poudriere jail -d -C all -j freebsd_14-0x64

and then created a new 14.1 poudriere jail

drm playback using the linux-widevine-cdm port
built with poudriere with chromium is working on 14.1

so no issues on 14.1 to report
 
Did the installation from 14.0-p6 not work on 14.1-RELEASE?
i uninstalled linux-widevine-cdm before i upgraded to 14.1
and after upgrading to 14.1 i destroyed the poudriere 14.0 jail

created a new poudriere 14.1 jail,
built the port and installed the linux-widevine-cdm pkg

i upgraded my macbook air first and checked if drm was working on chromium
with linux-widevine-cdm built on 14.1 before upgrading the other 2 machines

seemed like the cleanest solution

i didnt check if linux-widevine-cdm built with 14.0-p6 worked on 14.1
