Thanks for the replies! I have a Surface pro 5 and it works on that so a Surace 3 bug I guess! Pfsense doesn't like the surface dock Ethernet port, doesn't appear as a wan/lan device. It doesn't like the surface usb Ethernet adaptor either! Same result.. I had two other usb Ethernet hubs which it's been working with so far..

If it was running ZFS you can probably roll back to the BE snapshot from before the upgrade: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/backup/zfsbe/loader.html Otherwise the fastest way back up is almost always re-install clean. Open a ticket to get the 23.09 install image: https://www.netgate.com/tac-support-request Steve

@hoopy said in Problems after Netgate 1100 Can't Update from 23.05.1 to 23.09: pkg-static upgrade I forgot to mention, I don't have SSH enabled, and that I connected to the console to run pkg-static upgrade. I hope that didn't contribute to any extra work. I did attempt to enable SSH when in was in the half updated state but it would not work (I was also missing /etc/rc.initial). After fully updating with pkg-static upgrade the file is now there. Next chance I'll get I'll enable SSH and try to login. https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/sg-1100/connect-to-console.html

You may be able to run from USB instead. But it would need to be either a different ZFS pool name or UFS to conflict with the read-only eMMC.

The read only errors you're getting there are because it's trying to alter things on the (read-only) ISO filesystem. You'll need to mount things under /tmp somewhere when booted from a live image. For example, look at what the "recover config.xml" code does for ZFS: https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/blob/master/tools/installer/recover_configxml.sh#L82 It mounts things under /tmp/mnt_recovery and then copies it out to another location under /tmp

In this case it was a problem with the 2.7.1-RC which is now fixed. You shouldn't see that going forward.

https://www.netgate.com/blog/netgate-releases-pfsense-plus-software-version-23.09 We will be enabling the repos to present it as default shortly but it should be available to anyone to select manually right now.

Ok, I figured out what I did wrong. I had mistakenly purchased a pfsense Plus + TAC Lite subscription via the store (looking for a place to enter my NID, but didn't see one and completed the checkout). I was emailed a token. This would work for a new install as their recent blog post explains: https://www.netgate.com/blog/netgate-pfsense-plus-tac-lite-available-for-129-per-year Instead, I should have ordered the TAC Lite subscription itself from this link: https://shop.netgate.com/products/tac-lite-support (you can still use the TACLITE promo code for the same $ amount). So I filed a ticket with Netgate Support with TAC Subscription as my issue category and explained this mix up and provided my NID in the ticket. They responded within 20 minutes that they had updated the backend with my NID and the proper subscription and it would auto-update on my device my subscription. I received the same deal and no refund was necessary. Hope this helps you @nouman786 and others who had the same experience.

@Darkk Bios was already updated to the lastest version. I always follow firmware upgrade on all my device.

@joeker I don't work here anymore.

@human705 yes

@Atom2 thanks that fixed it for me for my 2100 I was having that error also.

I would expect that to be difficult. I've never tried to do it.

Hmm, I no explanation as to why it would fail then succeed. I would expect it to either fail or succeed the same way every time. 23.01 is a special case. It was the first version to introduce dynamic package repos. As such everything on an earlier version has to update to 23.01 first and then to the current version. Steve

@stephenw10 You are a gentleman and a scholar. I was mentally preparing to reinstall pfsense today but this worked. Thank you

Yup, that's the same EFI console issue. I believe there is a thread for that over in the Virtualisation sub. I personally don't have anything with hyper-V to test in.
