Talos 1.11.6 (2025-12-16)

Welcome to the v1.11.6 release of Talos!

Please try out the release binaries and report any issues at
https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/issues.

UEFI Boot

When using UEFI boot with systemd-boot as bootloader (on new installs of Talos from 1.10+ onwards), Talos will now not touch the UEFI boot order.
Talos 1.11 made a fix to create UEFI boot entry and set the boot order as first entry, but this behavior caused issues on some systems.
To avoid further issues, Talos will now only create the UEFI boot entry if it does not exist, but will not modify the boot order.

Component Updates

Linux: 6.12.62
runc: 1.3.4

Talos is built with Go 1.24.11.
