    I have it set up for LAN. And I've seen the error message that I used to get, but the system keeps running after that now. I didn't use WAN because after reading what it says I thought that might be a bad idea.

    @SteveITS Thanks for the tips. In the end, just restoring the pre-upgrade backup was the solution, the other things may have worked, but I needed to get fired back up and running so people could get back to work.

    @stephenw10 apologies didn't see update on this. No I am unsure if bios was modified. So I bought this as part of a set from reseller on Ebay. its a checkpoint t80? when i got it it already had pfsense install restored so it was just configuring and completing the install. Current update is getting a new SSD to swap and see if that will correct my issue. New ssd should be here this week. Next steps is new bare metal server running pfsesne or promox with pfsesne. Apologies again for the delay and thanks for the assist.

    Thank you for this information. After setting my bios to legacy mode and reinstalling I did not get this error even after reloading all my previous config.

  • Reinstalling via serial console not working

    Indeed, i did try to install it also from a generic SD card reader that can read all kinds of memory cards. But as already stated this was not an option because i only had a 1GB Compact Flash card.
    After that i continued to install it via the USB memory stick image with serial output..
    I'm still wondering why the memstick image with serial did not work and the one with VGA did.
    I did not try to do the ultimate test to install the memstick image with VGA console directly on the XTM510 simply because this is my production gateway to the internet.
    When my testbench of my homelab is up and running again, i can do some more tests and let you know.
    Thanks!

    I can confirm that should not happen. The only way it could is if a custom script has been added to do so. There are some examples here on the forum but we do not recommend that.

    The old Load balancer was removed some versions back.
    Yes, you have to use HAproxy for this goal now. You can find it in the Services menu after installation.

    @Popolou yes, there was no re-install packages option as no packages installed during new sw installation.

    Being connected to Internet was also key. I thought packages were installed from install.

    Without the logs to check it's almost impossible to say. It's probably been overwritten. I'd guess some pkg uninstall script stopped maybe.

    @SteveITS Thanks. I put it down for a bit, and when I went to look just now the option was magically there all by itself, so problem solved!

    It should probably be re-assessed. As you say an interactive serial console is available for Azure installs.

    I have tested upgrading to 23.09.1 in Azure and never saw any issues.

    Make sure you have a backup config in case you need to reinstall.

    But you should be able to run pkg-static upgrade and agree to the offered packages from there to reach the complete 2.7.2 install.

    It is. Probably related to the OpenSSL change that impacted pkg in 23.09.

    Run pfSense-repoc -D and note the Model value. Don't post that output here as it contains private data.

    That should be shown as 'Amazon Web Services'. If it shows 'Unknown' open a ticket with us:

    Yes, you don't need a support sub to request an image so it doesn't matter what you select there.

    @jimp This is now resolved, an upgrade direct from console did the trick :)

    You'll probably need to wipe the start and end of the disk as described here:
