    Just happened on this thread, because I too am a total newbie to PfSense and am currently going through the learning process while setting it up with the help of the docs, and nguvu's very helpful "pfSense baseline guide with VPN, Guest and VLAN support"... I have to say that everyone here is so extraordinarily helpful. Have a nice day everyone! A chappie

    I would recommend at least uninstalling Squid before the upgrade. There have been issues with the install/uninstallscript in that package across a php version.

    i managed to get updated to 2.7 in the end. I reverted to a 2.4.4 snapshot and then changed the update branch.

    @aryanrai said in Unable to boot: But why it boot without any issue even in efi mode after booting from another pc It depends on a number of things, the EFI implementation on that other system is different in some key way.

    But does it show in the boot logs when booting the installer? Does it show an error against either drive or drive controller for example? Lets see the full boot log.

    I had applied it about a week ago. Took me a while to work out that's also when the issues started. Once reverted, issues resolved. I'll add a note. Cheers

    Are you running Plus? Check System > Boot Environments. You probably have a bunch of old ZFS snaps you can remove to free space.

    If it's in an unknown state I would also suggest reinstalling clean. But if it is able to reach the package servers you can try force reinstalling all the pkgs: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/upgrades.html#forced-pkg-reinstall Steve

    @ddepaolis You can upgrade directly to the latest version if it is offered. You can set the update branch to Previous Stable: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/install/upgrade-guide.html Per the upgrade guide it is recommended to uninstall packages, upgrade, and then reinstall packages. Otherwise the upgrade will also try to upgrade packages during the upgrade. Either way they do get upgraded to the latest version. Package settings are saved by default, though a few like pfBlockerNG have a checkbox to remove package settings when uninstalling.

    @_Adrian_ [image: 1694155654112-2ee19a44-6892-4003-b4f6-9ee36dfd21dc-image.png] You don't need the last four. If you're forwarding, double check DNS server 2 and 3, as these look like a black hole to me. 3 and 4 : ask what they do with your data. If doubt : ditch them all.
