@stephenw10 Compex WLE200NX 2x2

@stephenw10 I turned on https and now my laptop works.

@DominikHoffmann I too saw this, on a 4200 during update from 24.03 to 24.11. Presumably it's the fault of 24.03 not 24.11. Navigating away from the Update page and back fixed it.

Yes sounds like it had not completed the upgrade and now might have mismatched files.

You can try to run the upgrade again to complete it. You might try upgrading from the console so you can see when it completes.

But be sure to backup the config in case you need to re-install.

Do you see an alert showing it booted into the old BE because the boot confirmation failed in the upgraded BE?

What hardware are you using? It could be something that isn't supported in FreeBSD 15. Yet. Or maybe something that is supported in FreeBSD 15 that causes a problem now it;s a recognized device.

There's nothing really very special about CF cards in terms of handling. They are usually very slow because they are IDE and often not even UDMA. They often don't have the same wear leveling which can be an issue.

It's possible the card itself is hitting a wear limit. I would usually recommend installing as UFS with RAM disks when running from an actual flash card to reduce drive writes.

It might not be though. You can try grading from the command line and see if it throws any other errors:
pfSense-upgrade -d

If it is a problem with the card I would expect to see a bunch of drive errors when it hits it. It could be on the console only though if it;s not able to log it.

A quick feedback, it was a USB network card connected unexpectedly, after removing it it was resolved, thanks @stephenw10

@TheGushi LOL that is a wonderful analogy.

Yes, sorry to everyone who was waiting on that. Timing of other things just got in the way. I'm going to make another attempt at this. Hopefully it will bear fruit.

So that cured the 4-5 high php-fpm items showing on the "top" while sitting on the dashboard and 100% CPU

The only new observation after adding the system information widget back and adding the CPU usage item (which I had removed as a test) and then refreshing the entire dashboard was that everything was responsive except the CPU usage line item. It took a good almost 2 minutes to "retrieve" the value. which is now only a couple of points off (higher) where it would normally be which is <20% (really hard to tell when widgets are actually in the process of updating their data)
Removing / adding and saving widgets is back to normal. back to 10-15 seconds instead of minutes+.

Once it got past that initial retrieve of the CPU usage it seems to be updating in less time but hard to tell how long. I see no other dashboard issues, everything seems near "normal" php-fpm is no longer locked at the top of top and certainly not 4-5 copies of it. When it is running it is only on top briefly.
There is really nothing stuck on top anymore it varies as normal. user is bouncing between 1 and 20% system between 3 and 10%. which seems more "normal" on this system

Thanks for all the work you guys have put into this.

FRR its for bgp and only for advertising less than 2 prefixes and receiving 10. Def not meant for edge routing in that way.

The unit was also up for over 100 days so could it be possible there was some memory not properly released?

In either case, successful upgrade and re-adding the packages is a snap. I will be thinking a bit more carefully about what packages will get installed at a future point.

Yup I wouldn't expect any issues on a 2100. But you can roll back and test it locally.

Of course custom options are always a risk to some degree.

The installer is built on a newer FreeBSD version. So it implies that something in your hardware is not supported/recognised there. Probably the drive controller somehow.

Check the boot logs from the legacy and net installers for errors or omissions.

If there's a regression there it would be good to know about it now because that system probably won't boot in 24.03, 24.11 or 2.8.

@KKKalle77 said in Netgate Device ID change after reboot:

I just do an easy reboot, like other time.

Maybe you can compare the output of "ifconfig -a" between working and not working?

@pfcharles said in issues upgrading Netgate 4100 from 23.09.1 to 24.03:

I do get an odd popup, which disappears after a few seconds...

You will see that if you log into the webgui as soon as it becomes available but before bootup has completed. As you are seeing it should disappear when bootup completes.
