You should probably be talking to the FreeBSD folks, since this seems related to the underlying OS, not pfS. https://www.freebsd.org/community.html As a workaround, perhaps you could replace the PERC6 with something else?

@gertjan I guess so... This unit is FUBAR: Boot: F1 No /boot/loader FreeBSD/x86 boot Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel boot: No /boot/kernel/kernel FreeBSD/x86 boot Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel boot:

I can't help but after upgrade I had no internet and it seems like HD was loading something after successful update reboot for a long time and after about 5+ minutes I was able to connect to pfSense and got internet at the same time. Also, huge php error log https://pastebin.com/q2QnnuVG

@stephenw10 I didn't try but it's good to know it would not break anything.

My reply was only 2 Minutes tho. ;-) -Rico

Good to read that your issue has been resolved. But, you should have checked well before posting your problem here.

Had to do a USB install using 2.4.4 and it's up (mostly). But the PhP7.2 is still throwing warnings and messages to me from pfBlockerNG.

@gregeeh said in Console fails to boot after 2.4.4 upgrade: Added the following to my /boot/loader.conf.local and the console now boots up correctly. kern.vty=sc Yep, same here.

It seems everything is up to date. Thanks @jimp

oh, ok ... I see no reaction over some minute and I thought it hangs. I give them more time ... I work on a Hyper-V virtual machine ... speed should be good

It looks like there is a device with an invalid name in that file. I'd check it for anything with unusual characters for example. It may just need to be removed and re-initiallised. Stop the DHCP service whilst you do that if so. Steve

it is a class 10 SDHC, 4GB. The slow speed shouldn't matter in normal operation, I assume. But I'll get something faster occasionally. That 40min without any internet connection was painful. Roman

@jegr Have just experience a similar issue with updating acme package

I ended up doing a fresh install and then upgrade. This time it worked... I didn't try the refresh or incognito...next time. Thank you both for the help...

https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8915 That specific case is harmless. We'll have a fix in 2.4.4-p1 for it.
